In a previous blog, I wrote about how to create an effective ICT strategy by creating a synergy between the business oriented IS strategy and the technical oriented IT strategy.Both strategies are linked and the progress of both are jointly assessed and measured through relevant kpis. Synergy between IS strategy and IT strategyThis ‘linkage’ will also allow for changes to the IT strategy in order to adapt to changes in the IS strategy driven by the business environment. To further facilitate the delivery of the IT strategy, it is helpful to view the strategy ‘financially’ as an investment portfolio. As the progress of the IT strategy is reviewed, the related kpi’s are assessed and with changes in the IS strategy, it may be decided to alter the relative proportions within the portfolio.
