A suitable IT strategy must therefore be developed for each company.
In my view, the following four points are the absolute core elements here:
– ๐๐ฏ๐ด๐น๐ฒ๐ถ๐ฐ๐ต ๐บ๐ถ๐ ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ป ๐จ๐ป๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ป๐ฒ๐ต๐บ๐ฒ๐ป๐๐๐ถ๐ฒ๐น๐ฒ๐ป / ๐๐ฒ๐๐ฐ๐ต๐ฎฬ๐ณ๐๐๐๐ถ๐ฒ๐น๐ฒ๐ป: an IT strategy is not an end in itself.
It must support and sustain the business activities, the vision and the direction of the entire company.
There should therefore be a close and permanent alignment between IT and corporate management
– ๐ง๐ฒ๐ฐ๐ต๐ป๐ผ๐น๐ผ๐ด๐ถ๐๐ฐ๐ต๐ฒ ๐๐๐๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฐ๐ต๐๐๐ป๐ด: the definition of platforms, architectures, standards and leading systems in relation to data and processes is a core task of the IT architect / CIO.
Non-functional requirements play an important role here: are you focusing on sustainability?
Expandability?
Maintainability?
Reusability?
What about the costs?
Cloud?
On-premise?
Customized development?
Standard systems?
– ๐๐ผ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ป๐ฎ๐ป๐ฐ๐ฒ ๐๐ป๐ฑ๐ฑ ๐ ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฎ๐ด๐ฒ๐บ๐ฒ๐ป๐: every company needs guidelines, procedures and structures to effectively manage and monitor IT.
Take particular account of potential risks, compliance issues and the legal framework and create clear responsibilities.
– ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐๐๐ผ๐๐ฟ๐ฐ๐ฒ๐ป ๐๐ป๐ฑ ๐๐ป๐ผ๐-๐๐ผ๐: IT costs money and time.
And IT requires knowledge.
The company’s employees need to be “picked up” and informed, so you need a good communication and information culture.
The following applies in particular to IT employees: building up, passing on and preserving know-how.
Of course, all of this has to be considered from a time and cost perspective.
And in addition to the elements mentioned, there are potentially any number of other aspects that need to be taken into account.

What other elements would you mention here?
