Technology Strategy & Roadmap

Why should you address your technology strategy?

Technology strategies and roadmaps are critical in defining, aligning, and guiding an organisation’s approach to implementing and leveraging technology to achieve business goals. A well-developed technology strategy serves as a blueprint for making informed decisions about technology investments and plays a vital role in supporting technical and digital transformation, while a technology roadmap provides a timeline and detailed plan to implement these strategies. 

Organisations often need to revisit their technology strategy and roadmap for reasons such as changing business goals, digital transformation initiatives, leveraging emerging technologies, competitive pressures, the need to evolve customer expectations, responding to regulatory and compliance changes, risk mitigation and cybersecurity, operational inefficiencies, and the desire for enhanced decision-making.


By addressing their technology strategy, organisations can ensure technology remains a powerful enabler of business success, build new ways to differentiate themselves and generate revenue, and achieve greater resilience in light of increased risk and regulatory scrutiny, ultimately keeping themselves aligned, competitive and agile.

What do you need to do?

Organisations need to set out up-to-date progressive technology strategies that harness new capabilities in customer engagement, processing, system and data integration. This will deliver stronger customer propositions, lower-cost operations, and more robust compliance.

A strong technology strategy will ensure tangible business benefits, by driving a clear target architecture state roadmap, aligning with data strategy, and informing a target operating model.
