IT Strategy / Grand Design

Service Overview

With the advancement of digitalization, the importance and reliance on IT in corporate management are increasing. The environment surrounding IT departments has significantly changed due to the establishment of DX (Digital Transformation) organizations, the proliferation of PoC (Proof of Concept) initiatives, and the development of digital services by business units. As demands on IT departments evolve, there is a need to update IT organizations to meet the requirements of the digital age.

This service focuses on not only digital strategy but also on the IT departments that have supported corporate systems. It examines how these departments can support future corporate transformation. Our approach, systematized as IT-X (IT Transformation), centers on enabling business and DX departments to explain and propose their system environments and challenges from a business contribution perspective. We identify the necessary elements for IT organizational transformation and propose solutions to address these issues.

Additionally, we provide long-term support through a co-creative approach, assisting with the initiation of transformation execution, skill transfer to clients, and fostering a cultural change within IT organizations.

Consulting Approach

We start by understanding your business model and visualizing how systems and data are utilized and the challenges faced by each service/business. Drawing on our extensive support experience, our initial investigation is detailed and granular. The initial deliverable provides a broad overview of the company, enabling discussions at the CxO level.

To ensure that visualization and issue identification are not transient, we analyze how system development plans connect with the company's medium- to long-term business plans. We also help design communication frameworks with business units, develop strategies for shadow IT, and organize methods for managing budgets and effectiveness. Our support encompasses system planning and development processes.
