Know Your Online Strategy With a Digital Road Map

The best way to prepare for the future is to have a road map that prioritizes initiatives and goals so that there is alignment among each line of business in your organization as to what is being worked on and when it should be complete. Digital isn’t any different, along with proper integration within your organization there should be a specific digital road map that has enough organizational details on it to allow for enterprise milestone achievement while focusing on more detail related to the digital aspect of your organization. For example, not every digital initiative or goal will require organization buy-in. There might simply be a run-the-engine type maintenance project that has little impact on other lines of business; however, it is important to be completed from a digital perspective.

Starting at a high level by laying out major milestones is a good starting point. These should usually be organizational initiatives; a good percentage of projects will require digital integration. Once there are a few key dates on the calendar for one to five years, it’s time to start looking at all the maintenance or run-the-engine type projects. This could be anything from code compliance to system migrations. After the essentials are in timeline, we will want to begin prioritizing our enhancement list.
