Published with Restrictions but not Mandates

An effective IT strategy should provide clear guidance and direction while allowing flexibility for implementation. It should outline strategic goals, principles, and priorities without being overly prescriptive, allowing room for adaptability based on changing business needs and technological advancements.

Strategic Rather than Tactical

IT strategy should focus on long-term objectives and align with the organization's overall business strategy. It should take a holistic view of technology investments, considering their impact on business processes, customer experiences and competitive advantage. Strategic thinking ensures that IT initiatives contribute to the organization's growth, innovation, and sustainability.

Non-Stagnant, but Dynamic

An effective IT strategy recognizes the ever-evolving nature of technology and the business landscape. It should be dynamic and responsive to emerging trends, market shifts and disruptive technologies. Regular reviews and updates are essential to ensure the strategy remains relevant and aligned with the organization's changing needs.
