The Challenge

Too many organizations treat IT strategy as a checklist—rather than a business driver.
According to Info-Tech’s Management and Governance Diagnostic, 74.6% of companies say their IT strategy process is ineffective, leaving leaders struggling to align technology priorities with real business goals.

When IT isn’t part of executive planning:

  • Projects stall or miss deadlines as priorities shift
  • IT leaders are seen as “order takers,” not strategic partners
  • Innovation slows, and valuable resources go to waste
