Is lack of tech strategy holding your tech team back?
Many tech teams that don’t have a strategy unaware of how inefficient their teams are and miss opportunities to support the business growth strategy.
We’d ask senior tech leaders to ask if their tech team is:
- Unsure of their priorities
- Over worked and under resourced
- Investing in solutions that won’t deliver what the business really needs
- Frustrated, burned out and suffering from low morale?
Having seen these challenges first-hand in tech teams across the world, Delafeld Partners can define and deliver a tech strategy that removes the barriers to peak performance and drives business growth.
A tech strategy defines how tech can support your organisation to achieve its goals
In simple terms, a tech strategy is a roadmap to align tech investments with business priorities, so that teams have the capability and capacity to deliver results.
A well-structured tech strategy provides:
- Clear direction on what IT will and won’t do as well as a roadmap of strategic initiatives
- Stronger business alignment so that tech is an enabler to growth and innovation and not just a cost
- Informed investment decision making
- A motivated tech team with a shared purpose and clarity on priorities.
Increased stakeholder confidence which improves support for future tech initiatives
Tech strategy that’s optimised for growth
When we work with clients to deliver a tech strategy, they can see how tech aligns with the business strategy. They’ve got the blueprint to give them the confidence to make better decisions and how to innovate, both of which are key drivers for sustainable growth.
There are four steps to tech strategy framework:
Understand your business goals
through stakeholder interviews to align the tech strategy with the wider business strategy, identify pain points, barriers to success and opportunities for growth
Audit of your tech landscape
including existing plans, your tech portfolio and legacy systems
Defining your tech roadmap
by co-creating a clear, actionable strategy, identifying any capability gaps and training needs and establishing the governance required for ongoing success
Implementation and Delivery
to make sure projects are accurately scoped, milestones are achieved and projects deliver
Teams with a tech strategy are empowered to enhance their team’s performance, through clearer priorities and the ability to build a peak performance tech team who can enable future growth.
