Define Technology Direction That Supports Your Goals
A collaborative process that aligns technology possibilities with business objectives, creating clarity for years ahead
Return HomeWhat This Strategy Work Delivers
You gain a documented technology strategy that guides investment decisions over three to five years. This isn't abstract theory or vendor-driven recommendations—it's practical direction grounded in your organisation's specific objectives, constraints, and context.
The strategy addresses how technology can support your business goals, what infrastructure and capabilities you need to develop, and how to sequence investments logically given resource realities. It provides framework for evaluating opportunities that emerge and for declining proposals that don't align with defined direction.
Perhaps most valuably, the process itself builds shared understanding across leadership. Through facilitated workshops, stakeholders develop common language for discussing technology and consensus about priorities. This alignment often proves as important as the documentation produced.
The Situation You're Navigating
Perhaps technology decisions happen reactively in your organisation—responding to immediate problems rather than working toward coherent vision. Different departments may pursue their own solutions, creating fragmentation and duplication. Or you find yourself overwhelmed by vendor pitches without clear framework for evaluation.
Maybe you're preparing for growth but uncertain whether current technology foundation can support expansion. Leadership might be asking about digital transformation without clarity on what that means practically or how it connects to business strategy.
You could be facing pressure to modernise legacy systems but struggling to justify investment or sequence work logically. Or you recognise competitors leveraging technology effectively and wonder how to develop similar capabilities without simply copying their approach.
How We Develop Strategy Together
Strategy development begins with understanding your business thoroughly—current operations, growth objectives, competitive position, and constraints. We review existing plans, interview stakeholders, and examine how technology currently supports or hinders work.
We then facilitate workshops bringing together leadership and key stakeholders. These sessions explore possibilities, surface assumptions, debate priorities, and build consensus. Our role involves introducing relevant technology concepts without overwhelming participants, asking questions that clarify thinking, and documenting emerging decisions.
Between workshops, we research specific questions, develop preliminary recommendations, and prepare materials for discussion. This iterative approach ensures the strategy reflects collective wisdom rather than external prescription.
The process concludes with documented strategy covering technology principles, investment priorities, capability development plans, and governance approaches. We present this to leadership, refine based on feedback, and ensure the final version serves as practical reference rather than shelf-ware.
The Journey Through Strategy Development
Strategy development typically unfolds over six to ten weeks, depending on scope and stakeholder availability. The work feels collaborative rather than consultant-led, with your team actively shaping direction.
Discovery Phase
We immerse ourselves in your organisation, understanding business model, objectives, challenges, and current technology landscape. Interviews with leadership and review of existing documentation establish foundation for strategy work.
Workshop Series
Three to four facilitated sessions bring stakeholders together to explore technology possibilities, debate priorities, and develop shared vision. Between workshops, we research questions that emerge and prepare materials for continued discussion.
Strategy Formulation
We synthesise workshop outcomes into coherent strategy document, balancing aspiration with pragmatism. Draft versions circulate for feedback, ensuring the strategy reflects organisational consensus rather than consultant opinion.
Presentation and Refinement
Final strategy presents to leadership and broader stakeholder group. Discussion surfaces any remaining concerns, allows for clarification, and confirms commitment to defined direction. We refine documentation based on this feedback.
Throughout the engagement, you'll experience growing clarity about technology direction and increasing alignment among stakeholders. The process builds capability for ongoing strategic thinking beyond the immediate engagement.
Investment and What's Included
Technology Strategy Development requires investment between £5,500 and £9,000, scaled to engagement scope. Focused strategies addressing specific technology domains sit at the lower end, while comprehensive strategies covering all technology aspects require more extensive work.

Follow-up support for six months as questions arise during implementation
This investment provides both immediate direction and lasting value. Organisations report the strategy continues informing decisions years after development, serving as reference point for evaluating opportunities and maintaining coherence across technology initiatives.
What Makes This Approach Effective
Effective technology strategy connects business objectives with technology possibilities while respecting organisational realities. Our approach avoids both extremes—we don't simply document current state, nor do we propose ambitious transformation divorced from your context.
The facilitated workshop format ensures the strategy reflects collective understanding rather than individual perspectives. Stakeholders who participate in development become advocates for implementation, having shaped the direction themselves.
We balance aspiration with pragmatism throughout. The strategy acknowledges constraints—budget limitations, legacy system dependencies, team capability gaps—while identifying realistic paths forward. This creates confidence that defined direction is achievable rather than aspirational fiction.
Strategy development typically requires six to ten weeks from initiation to final documentation. Most organisations begin seeing value within the first quarter after completion as they apply the strategy to real decisions about vendor selection, project prioritisation, and resource allocation.
Our Approach to Your Success
We commit to producing strategy that serves your organisation rather than satisfying abstract best practices. If at any point the work feels disconnected from your reality or fails to address actual challenges, we adjust approach rather than proceeding with predetermined methodology.
Before formal engagement, we offer an initial conversation to explore your situation and determine whether strategy development makes sense now. Some organisations benefit from assessment work before strategy, while others need implementation support for current initiatives more than longer-term planning.
The strategy documentation belongs to your organisation to use freely—sharing with board members, presenting to investors, or adapting as circumstances change. We provide source files in editable formats recognising that strategies evolve and you may want to update content.
Following strategy completion, we remain available for consultation as questions arise during implementation. Many organisations contact us when facing decisions not explicitly addressed in the strategy, seeking perspective on how defined principles apply to new situations.
Beginning the Strategy Process
Strategy work begins with discussion about your organisation's context and what prompts interest in developing technology direction now. This helps determine appropriate scope and approach.
Initial Contact
Connect through our contact form or email info@domain.com describing your organisation and what's driving interest in technology strategy development.
Exploratory Discussion
We arrange conversation, usually 60 minutes, exploring your situation and explaining how strategy work proceeds. This helps both parties assess fit and determine appropriate scope.
Scope Definition
If strategy development aligns with your needs, we provide proposal detailing scope, timeline, workshop structure, and investment. You review and decide whether to proceed.
Engagement Launch
We schedule discovery interviews, plan workshop sessions with stakeholder participation, and begin the collaborative work of developing your technology strategy.
From initial contact to strategy work beginning typically requires three to four weeks, accommodating stakeholder schedules and allowing time for thoughtful scope definition.
