The Four Generations of Corporate Strategy for IT

"It's rare to meet someone who challenges like you, and makes you think. I feel a lot of our current success sits with your inspiration." CIO - UK top 50 company

The ultimate goal of a corporate strategy for IT is not to have one. When an organisation becomes an expert customer of IT - truly knowing how to create maximum value from investing in change and IT, and to optimise IT spending - then a separate strategy for IT no longer adds value.

To reach this level of maturity, there is a journey through four generations of strategy. Each one requires a 'step change' in focus, mindset, approach and foundation:

Generation

Focus

Foundation

One Technology-centric Technology Roadmap

Two Efficiency-centric IT Budget

Three Exploitation-centric Investment Plans for IT

Four No separate strategy for IT Business Portfolio for Investing in Change
