The IT strategy that supports the business strategy
Only with clear direction, a shared understanding and coordinated responsibilities can technology be deployed strategically and become a success factor.
The guiding star of every organization
Many organizations lack a clear strategic direction when it comes to the role of IT. Technological decisions often arise from day to day operations, without an overarching vision, prioritization or consistent guidelines. Equally absent is a living governance model that defines clear responsibilities, decision pathways and processes. This is not only inefficient but also risky. Without strategic steering, IT risks becoming a permanent work in progress, with projects running alongside each other, resources deployed incorrectly and the link to actual business objectives lost.
Challenges
Experiences from numerous projects with companies and organizations across different industries have generally revealed similar or easily adaptable challenges.
IT decisions without a strategic overview
Without an overarching framework, IT projects emerge in isolation, each sensible on its own but not aligned with one another. This results in gaps between systems, redundant efforts and an IT landscape that consumes more resources managing itself than driving progress.
Contradictory or outdated guidelines
When outdated IT strategies or inconsistent guidelines remain in force, uncertainty arises in daily operations. Teams work past each other, technological decisions contradict one another, and innovation is unintentionally impeded.
Lack of alignment with business objectives
When IT isn’t aligned with the company’s strategic goals, it remains reactive and operationally driven. Instead of deliberately creating value, technological solutions emerge without clear business benefits—leaving IT’s potential as a value driver untapped.
Lack of operational embedding for governance
Governance structures often exist only on paper, without being embedded operationally in daily routines. Rules, processes and guidelines are defined but not applied or reviewed consistently. This undermines trust, leads to inconsistent behaviour and makes effective control impossible.
Establish clarity, enable governance, and create impact
Clear structures in IT lay the foundation for effective governance and informed decision making. This allows IT to realize its full potential and directly contribute to achieving business objectives.
Determine the status quo – Clarity über den Ist-Zustand
We begin with a structured analysis of the current IT landscape, strategic alignment and existing governance structures. In doing so, we identify gaps, opportunities and elements that are already working as the foundation for all subsequent steps.
Develop a target vision – a strategy with substance
Together, we craft a future oriented IT target vision that both supports your corporate strategy and remains realistically achievable. We focus on clear prioritization, meaningful focal areas and seamless integration with existing processes.
Shape governance - clarify structure and responsibilities
We develop concrete guidelines, role definitions and decision making processes that make governance effective in daily operations. Not abstract concepts but practical control mechanisms that establish accountability and strengthen collaboration.
Supporting implementation - from plan to practice
We support the operational embedding of new structures, acting as facilitators, advisors or sparring partners. Whether in workshops, strategy processes or committee work, we bring clarity, reliability and momentum to implementation.
