This process domain is designed to define organizational change at its highest level and help govern the destiny of the organization. Organizational change management starts at that level: Are we doing the right things to contribute to the business strategy?
The domain provides a number of techniques such as a Strategy Governance, which proposes guidance and a process to monitor strategic reality by scanning business (and/or IT) environmental trends, strategic pattern (current strategy), and organization profile, and adjust the strategic course of action accordingly.
The proposed processes, techniques and tools help:
- Re-evaluate strategic targets
- Define business scenarios
- Create IT-enabled business investment programs
- Develop an IT strategy integrated with key business strategies and objectives
- Draw realistic migration road maps for managing IT’s evolution
- Predict strategic effects of major restructuring, or design - supporting change management programs
