Is there anything more difficult than trying to predict your company’s growth, competitive landscape, work processes and technology requirements three to five years from now? Those are the ambitious goals of IT strategic plans that are frequently threatened with obsolescence by technology changes and economic upheaval before the ink even dries.
Many organizations have responded to those forces of chaos by throwing in the towel on strategic planning: A 2002 Cutter Consortium survey found that 39 percent of respondents had no formal IT strategy at all. Because organizations must make ‘looking ahead’ one of their primary objectives. It’s the looking ahead part that makes planning strategic. All IT strategic-planning primers start with the same instruction: Imagine the desired future state of the company. With that vision, organizations can then analyze the present state, compare the two to identify gaps, and start to draw a road map for closing those gaps and getting the company to the goal. Project prioritization, risk analysis, and an analysis of the likelihood of changes in the industry and technology are also well-established basics in the strategic-planning process. However, that simple-sounding recipe masks some of the complexities and finer points of the strategic-planning process.
