“Before you can be influential you need to be seen as fundamentally competent.”
After months of preparation and work across the organisation, today was the day that I would discuss the proposed IT strategy with the Chief Executive. It wasn’t the first time we had talked about what our IT strategic direction should be, or how IT would support and enable the business, but this was the first time that all this thinking was in one document for a full discussion. The team had done a great job pulling all this work together and I was both excited and a little nervous about the conversation to come.
