IT Readiness Assessment

IT Strategy

The IT strategy forms the foundation for all IT-related initiatives. Having a clear understanding of your IT business model is crucial. Key areas such as M&A strategy and a well-defined IT operating model are essential for ensuring a successful and future-proof IT operation.

Innovation & Digitalization

CIOs are under increasing pressure to innovate, and digitalization is a hot topic. However, innovation should not be left to chance but can be guided by suitable processes. Embedding innovation and digitalization into the DNA of your IT organization is key to positioning it for future success.

AI & Security

Cybersecurity incidents can spell "sudden death" for a CIO. Thus, having up-to-date security infrastructure and appropriate processes to handle security risks is critical. On the other hand, AI continues to serve as a differentiator, enabling IT organizations to deliver even greater value to the business.

Enterprise Architecture & Technology

The right architecture forms the backbone of IT operations. A technology selection tailored to the company's business model is essential to meet future challenges. To be successful, it is important to assess both enterprise architecture processes while also addressing operational concerns, such as selecting the right providers.

Workforce Management

In an era of talent shortages, workforce planning and development are crucial factors in determining IT success. Competency management for existing employees is just as important as targeted recruitment. A metrics-based analysis of personnel costs completes the view of the IT workforce.

Sourcing

Modern IT organizations often rely on external expertise. The management of these providers plays a central role in successful sourcing. From sourcing strategy to the RfP process to an established SLA-based provider management system, many areas need to be defined and monitored.

Transformation & Change

No IT project portfolio can be successfully implemented without effectively managing IT transformation. This requires aligning the project portfolio with strategic guidelines while also guiding employees through the transformation journey with appropriate change management measures.

Operational Excellence

IT services and processes form the basis for daily operations in IT. Derived from the (Target) Operating Model, IT services must be managed, and processes must be optimized to align IT with the business's day-to-day needs.

Performance Management

As an enabler of business, IT often faces cost pressures in many areas. Performance management helps make IT costs holistically transparent and ensures cost allocation is aligned with the underlying drivers.
