What is IT Strategy?
An effective IT strategy enables organizations to leverage technology as a strategic asset to drive innovation, improve efficiency, enhance customer experience, and gain a competitive advantage in the market. It is an in-depth plan bringing together a technology roadmap, resource availability (both human and financial), risk and compliance, oversight, and a measure of innovation. Critically, this strategy is directly informed by the vision, mission, and business plan for the organization.
How TechCXO can help develop an IT Strategy
A TechCXO IT leader can work directly in conjunction with the company’s senior leadership team to understand the objectives and goals of the organization. They can then work with both the leadership team as well as the IT team to build an IT strategy that will support the business in achieving its mission and vision.
Ensure that the company’s IT strategy closely aligns with its broader business objectives and goals. Does the IT strategy support the business in achieving its mission and vision? Does the IT Strategy account for the company’s growth strategy, and what will be required to achieve that growth?
What to Expect
TechCXO IT Leaders bring long careers in managing corporate technology to the table. Many of our IT Leaders have a broad range of experience in different industries and company sizes, and at the same time, many have experience in very bespoke technology systems, regulatory environments, and organization types.
TechCXO IT Leaders have been successful in their careers, in part, because they bring to their work a passion for technology in general and for how technology can enable a business to realize its strategy. This passion is conveyed through how we work with our clients on a daily basis.
TechCXO IT Leaders are highly focused on ensuring that the business needs (current and anticipated) are put first in guiding the company’s IT strategy. Understanding the company’s current business and future business roadmap allows the IT Leader to architect, budget, and deliver an appropriate IT strategy that supports the business’s needs.

The ability to be a clear communicator (whether to a company’s senior management, to a company’s internal teams, or a company’s vendors) is critical to the success of an IT Leader. This is especially true in the ability of an IT Leader to be able to translate between the business teams and the technology teams of a company – all too frequently, the conversation between these functions in a company results in misunderstandings, which in turn can lead to very costly technology mistakes. A TechCXO IT Leader focuses on ensuring that all the teams stay on the same page.
