This guideline helps practitioners and participants define achievable digital and ICT strategic objectives as part of their planning activities. Defined digital and ICT related objectives set the scene for the formulation of strategies and the development of roadmaps in later planning stages.
This guideline draws on the results of activities from guidelines related to the strategic business direction of the organisation. For example, the ideas and expectations identified in the Vision workshops can often be turned into realistic and achievable objectives.
The practices outlined in this guideline can also be incorporated into other stakeholder workshops. Such as how defining objectives will complement the outputs of Vision activities and, where practical, can be conducted as part of the same workshop.
