How strategic roadmaps guide business excellence
If you're thinking about technology only
and you're only looking at what might be in front of you from a licensing perspective or
specific components of any particular technology, you may miss pieces of that particular
application or even other applications that might be a holistic and better fit for your
organization to get where you really want to go. I've heard a couple of customers say that they
have had implementation in spite of strategy, or in the place of strategy where they may have
done many different pieces of work, but they didn't really get anywhere with it. They just kind
of checked a box and said, “Well, we bought this, we should implement it.” But, they didn't really
think about, why they were implementing it or how they could optimize their business, or maybe
streamline processes, or reduce processing time, or reduce swivel chairs, or any number of things
that we see customers really striving to achieve from a business perspective and understanding
why it matters to their organization. You know, what the business case is for actually wanting
to do those specific things in a holistic kind of overview-type approach rather than just, “Oh,
well, today we're going to do, you know, incident management and next year we're gonna do HR.” How
do all those pieces fit together and why should you care about that? And hopefully you're getting
organizational buy-in around the importance of these different projects so that everyone
understands why - not only why they're important, but how it could impact their work and their,
kind of their day-to-day lives in a positive capacity rather than just being like, “Oh, this
is another thing that we have to do,” right? And sometimes that bogs people down from their day
jobs, right? This really is their day job. Making their business excellent, and how can we help them
get there. That’s really kind of the crux of it.
