Digital Strategy
One Board date locked up front. Two or three real options, costed ranges, a three to five year roadmap and a clear pathway to the decision. Written in Board language, ready for you to present.
60 days from start to a Board-ready pack. Board date locked in week 0. Keys to success below.
What is in the pack, how the 60 days run, and the three keys to success.
A clear read of where your technology stands today.
Costed options, with the trade-offs laid out in Board language.
A roadmap with the decision points marked.
A governance model with decision rights named.
The decision pathway: what the Board is being asked, and when.
1. Lock the date
2. Alignment and baseline
3. Future state and options
4. Roadmap and economics
5. To the Board
Lock the Board date in week 0, so all 60 days work back from a real decision.
Give us time with your executives in the first fortnight, so the options reflect how the organisation actually runs.
Review each draft within ten business days, so momentum holds and the pack is ready for the date.
The Board is being asked to fund technology without a plan it can test.
The last strategy took months, was written for specialists, and landed as a paper “noted” rather than a decision taken.
Directors are accountable for technology investment they are rarely close to, and the business case is buried at the back of the pack.
The organisation keeps moving while the decision waits, and interim workarounds become permanent.
Within 60 days of start: a decision the Board can make, and a plan you can act on.
The decision pathway sets out what the Board is being asked, the options in front of it, and what follows from each.
Each with the trade-offs laid out in plain language: costed ranges, benefits and risk scenarios, not one optimistic number.
Summary, options, recommendation and FAQs, rehearsed with you first. The reasoning is recorded so directors can test it, and a Board workshop works through the trade-offs.
Current and future state, built from executive interviews and process mapping, so the options reflect how the organisation actually runs.
A three to five year roadmap, phased, with dependencies, quick wins and decision points marked.
A governance model resolved with the strategy: decision rights, risk management and how progress is reported.
Board slot confirmed. Existing strategy, organisation charts and system maps gathered.
Kickoff with the CEO and sponsor. Leadership interviews. Current processes, systems and pain points mapped.
Target operating model and system landscape. Two or three strategic options with cost and benefit ranges.
Phased roadmap with quick wins. Business case ranges and risk scenarios. Draft Board pack.
Rehearsal with the CEO and CFO. Board pack finalised and presented. Decision pathway agreed with the sponsor.
You see the work as often as you need to. One named senior consultant leads the project, is accountable to you, and carries the drafting and coordination.
What happens next is up to the Board and the roadmap.
The questions directors should be able to answer before funding a technology program. Use them at your next Board or committee meeting.
Your name, work email and organisation. We email the document to you.
