We believe organizations need to use their technology function to create a bridge with their business activities to ensure future survival and success: in short, to become resilient in the face of massive change.
BearingPoint’s research showed leading resilient organization technology units work across five dimensions to build a bridge to enable their business activities:
- They anticipate future business needs via technology: by updating information technology (IT) strategy regularly to take account of new technology, respond to business opportunities and stay resilient
- They rebalance their value chain: By working across the entire value chain, including strategy, digital and organization to defining and maintaining a business resilience framework
- They develop core Enterprise Architecture competencies: By getting the right talent, tools and governance to define and oversee their business resilience framework
- They invest in technology, people, and the digital workplace: And driving adaptability and agility throughout their organization
- They collaborate fully with stakeholders: By identifying and responding to key business issues and innovate to address key pain points
