Strategic Vision
Technology provides two things:
- automation efficiency and
- opportunity creation.
Frankly, you can always find ways to run faster and
cheaper with less. And as technology evolves and your business
partners evolve, you can always find new opportunities that weren’t
there before. Being able to implement both becomes the key
in creating value for a business. In one sense, the particular
balance between the two comes from the business strategy.
Nevertheless, strategy has to be grounded in realistic
deliverables and practical timeframes. The tactics live in
everyday processes, in effective technology and in real people who work
on this stuff. It has to be deep enough to respond to
changes in competitive atmosphere and to be able to move with the
opportunities the technology presents. If you have a good sense
of where the technology is going, then you will be in the position to
take advantage of it without having wasted time/money/effort in
building something you’re going to throw out.
