The strategy like GPS, Guild you through Change and Transformation Journey.
The strategy is like GPS, it zooms in vision as a destination, leads the organization in the right direction, leverages resources, and executes effectively.The strategy is the business direction: If you have a very good idea of where you are going - what your systems will be like and how they will work - then it is much easier to choose quickly between immediate opportunities: pick the ones that take you in the right direction
The strategy is a business playbook: A strategy is a coordinated and integrated set of where-to-play, how-to-win, and core capabilities enabled by IT, and management system choices that uniquely meet a customer’s needs. It is only through making and acting on choices that you can win
The strategy is a business signal amplifier: By crafting strategy, the business has the ability to filter the short-term signals of business and technology changes to identify the longer-term changes in business and technology that require significant and long-range adaptation for business success.
IT strategy is driven by Enterprise Business Strategy: It then cascades down to specific IT Goals. This approach ensures that the IT Strategy is always aligned with the Enterprise Business Strategy. Any IT strategy cannot exist in isolation to business strategy. If the business dynamics are changing, the IT strategy will need to be revisited and should be crafted in a manner of keeping flexibility.
The strategy is to connect the unconnected to create long-term value and synergy: Thinking that produces unique, non-obvious technology-based ideas that lead to solving critical business problems or positions the business to act on opportunities in the marketplace. A key characteristic of the IT strategy is that it should be "fused" with the business so that as the business changes course the IT strategy is also modified.
The strategy is cascading: The first strategy goal should be: Keep your capability to have agility in the case of unforeseen urgent changes in the business or other fields. The strategy is the direction you're heading, agility comes into play when you're defining the tactics to get you there. For example, a company may have a strategy to increase its footprint. You can grow organically or by purchasing competitors... either way it doesn't change the overall strategy that you want to grow.
Advocate the emergent strategy, not ivory Tower Strategy: CIOs need to think beyond IT strategy, to embrace the three Cs of emergent strategy: Creativity, Context, and Cascade. Otherwise, it becomes upfront yearly ivory tower strategy or SPOTS (Strategic Plan on Top Shelf),
To date, IT is strategic, running strategic IT takes strategic thinking, The IT leaders play a critical role in refining IT reputation. It is challenging, but keep at it; equip with the strategic mindset, innovate new ways to bring value to the business, then try new ways of showing the value you have created.
