Strategic IT Review & Roadmap
Independent review of the current technology position and a prioritised roadmap the board can govern.
Problem this solves
There is no current, board-usable view of technology direction, priorities, risk or investment logic. Previous plans are outdated, incomplete or not owned.
What it is
The review establishes a current-state view across applications, infrastructure, organisation, governance and spend. It assesses fit to business priorities and material risks, then develops a prioritised roadmap and investment logic. Findings and options are presented to the MD and board so they can govern the technology agenda.
Key activities
- Establish current-state view (applications, infrastructure, organisation, governance, spend)

- Board-ready summary and recommended decisions
What happens

Boundary
Scope is fixed at Phase 1. Additional complexity is a scope trigger, not absorbed effort. Not an implementation programme.
What typically follows
Often follows Business-to-IT Strategy Alignment. Typically leads to Operating Model Reset, rationalisation, core systems leadership or board technology governance.
Scope and investment
Effort bands by estate complexity. Planning range 12–20 days. From £18,000 at mid rate for the lower band.
