Strategize
In the “Strategize” curriculum, you will understand how to make strategy that results in shared commitment regarding what your organization should – and should not – do. In addition, you will review case studies of successful business process and technology strategies that should be considered during the strategy making process.
Because we live in a complex world, it is easy to get muddle headed and let project lists and initiatives get out of control. It’s then hard to fight the uphill battle against organizational entropy and keep a clear, exiting agenda in front of our organizations.
Defining and communicating a shared IT-enabled vision, strategy, and tactical objectives provides your organization with a foundation to stand on… and stand behind. Successful leaders understand how to implement an efficient, participative, and iterative strategy making process that factors in relevant transformative concepts from business and technology. Furthermore, these leaders know how to translate strategy into action using portfolio management, balanced metrics, boundary rules, high level implementation roadmaps, and clear accountabilities.
