The way medium and large companies operate has changed considerably in recent years. Initially, globalization was an opportunity. Then it became a necessity. Today, companies need to adapt to changing market conditions more quickly than ever before. On the flip side, new challenges emerged. Many are related to cultural issues, complexity and information overload. Overcoming these challenges is not straightforward. It appears, however, there is one “thing” that connects the entities of a company across those challenges: strategies, together with their implementation instructions.

Enabling strong, healthy strategies and driving for execution is what the Information Technology (IT) Strategy Management Process is about.
