Build a better IT strategic plan

The IT Executive Toolkit for Strategic Planning was designed to help you:

Verify business context and confirm the enterprise mission, then align your function's goals with those of C-level stakeholders.
Assess your function’s ability to deliver on your goals and create a plan to fill the capability gaps that will slow your impact.
Strategically manage functional budgets to prioritise investment decisions to favor initiatives that will drive impact — and demote those that won’t.
Decide how to measure your progress and select metrics that will demonstrate the progress you’re making against commitments you’ve made.
Document your strategy — ideally on just one page — to simply and clearly state where the function is, where it's going and how it will get to there.
