Solu)on Hierarchy of strategies
Digital strategy
Ini@a@ves are not consistent with the goals. The HR and budget are not coordinated with ini@a@ves. Even within one strategy there are no inverse rela@ons.
Self consistent strategy
Goals are not agreed among themselves in case of mul@ple strategies (business strategy of the enterprise, the IT strategy and the strategy of LOB).
Interrelated strategies
Strategy can not be easily changed. Changes lead to contradic@on inside one strategy and between strategies.
