We designed our IT strategy framework asset to help organizations align IT and business priorities for greater impact. Many companies face challenges like fragmented systems, reactive technology decisions, and poor collaboration between IT and business teams. This asset provides a quick assessment tool that guides leaders to the right IT strategy framework for their unique needs, enabling IT to become a strategic partner and drive measurable business value.
Business leaders are discovering that IT can be far more than a cost center — it can be a strategic enabler that drives competitive advantage. The key is finding the right approach for aligning your IT organization with your business. We created an IT strategy development asset that can help.
Why You Need an IT Strategy Development Framework
Many organizations struggle with familiar IT-business alignment pain points that prevent technology from reaching its full potential. Business and IT teams often find themselves at odds over organizational priorities, making it difficult to collaborate effectively on strategic initiatives.
Frequently, IT leaders make technology decisions reactively rather than as part of a coherent, forward-thinking strategy. This reactive approach leads to fragmented systems, duplicate investments, and missed opportunities for innovation. When there’s limited visibility into how IT investments affect business outcomes, trust between departments erodes and IT continues to be viewed as a necessary expense rather than a value creator.
Additionally, many organizations see concerning signs of technology resistance — from “shadow IT” implementations to multiple applications serving the same function across different departments. These symptoms indicate deeper IT-business alignment issues that require systematic solutions.
Use Our IT Strategy Development Asset to Find the Best Framework for Your Business
Leaders today have access to various IT strategy development frameworks for achieving effective IT-business alignment — but not every business needs the same type of framework.
For example, some require a complete enterprise architecture overhaul, while others take a more targeted, strategic approach to address the most pressing challenges first. The question isn’t whether you need better IT-business alignment — it’s which approach will deliver the fastest, most sustainable results for your organization.
