Technology Strategy IS Business Strategy

There is a growing trend to include technical teams at the business strategy table. Why? And why is is this important for small businesses to know?

In 2022, companies must ensure their tech team leaders have a seat at the table when business decisions are being made. In a Deloitte–Wall Street Journal Intelligence survey, 40% of CEOs said their CIO or tech leader will be the key driver of business strategy.

40% of CEO's said their CIO or tech leader will be the key driver of business strategy.

Why?

Why is it important for the technology team to have representation at the board room strategy table?

Technology teams can unlock creative solutions to:

  • get products and services faster to market
  • improve productivity by automating routine activities
  • implement solutions to keep your business safe online
  • grow your business online with automated or virtual marketing initiatives

“Why is Tech Strategy Important for Our Small Business?”

While you may not have a full IT or Tech Department, as a solopreneur or business owner with a small management team, you need to think about technology advancements as a key part of your business strategy.  Think about:

  • customer service
  • generating new customer leads
  • new customer self-serve trends
  • web care, maintenance, safety
  • accessibility to your business online (is your website accessible?)
  • digital marketing efforts, are they getting results?
  • automating routine tasks, like email follow-up 

Good news is … you don’t have to worry about tech strategy alone.   At 519Web, business strategy (tech strategy) is our gig.  With every web site or digital marketing client we work with we start with understanding and planning a business technology strategy that will work best for your business and your situation. 

Think about custom solutions that could help you be more productive, or more connected to your customers.

Wow, this is all so amazing to me.
What can I say except, 'how did all of these people find us before?' ... This is all so amazing to me. To think just a little over a year ago we didn't have a GMB profile or a website! And, I wasn't even sure we needed one. Deb held my hand through the entire process. She got me out of my comfort zone and BAM the most beautiful website was created! Now we are onto digital marketing and it's all working for us! I'm loving the social media posts and SEO for the website all done for us. What a time saver. ... You have truly exceeded my expectations!
