IT executives often talk about business strategy in terms of the plans they are creating — documents that then go unused. Instead, tell a dynamic story that helps you to engage business leaders in an IT strategic planning conversation and develop a clear IT strategic plan with a roadmap of initiatives and portfolio of investments required to execute.

Let storytelling and simple picture techniques focus your strategy conversations on how your organization will use its differentiators to succeed.

This IT strategic planning template will help you translate your strategy story into an IT strategic plan by capturing all of the key elements of your IT strategy on a page:

  • Business objectives
  • IT/business capabilities
  • Key performance indicators (KPIs) 
  • Enabling capabilities and initiatives
  • Cross-enterprise dependencies and risks
