Today’s digital infrastructure technologies can offer unprecedented levels of strategic value to your organization. Leveraging new technologies can create better customer experiences, fresh revenue streams and help you gain competitive advantages over your competitors. However, they also require higher levels of preparation and planning to reduce risks and drive maximum value.
To ensure a new technology will meet or exceed your expectations, you should consider three critical aspects of planning:
Reflecting on the PAST
Before you start planning for the future of your infrastructure, you will benefit by spending time reflecting on past successes and failures. Contemplate your organizational values and objectives, and examine how technology has been utilized in your workplace.
Assessing the PRESENT
Once you have an appreciation of your organization’s history and the knowledge of what has driven success in the past, begin looking at the present state of your infrastructure and user experiences. Brush up on the latest trends and innovations in the marketplace. Investigate applications and services that will sustain your organizational values, while enhancing overall experiences for your users and customers.
Envisioning the FUTURE
A key element of planning for the future is envisioning the future. Define a set of success criteria, so you know what success looks like. Identify major challenges and potential blockers. Develop short term and long term objectives to help crystallize your vision for the future.
