Too often, organisations embark on transformation journeys without a clear picture of their desired end state.
It’s like setting out on a road trip with no destination in mind.
A well-defined target state is crucial for:
- Aligning teams and stakeholders
- Prioritising initiatives effectively
- Measuring progress and success
- Avoiding costly detours and rework
Without this north star, we risk:
- Wasted resources
- Misaligned efforts
- Difficulty demonstrating value
Whether you’re in IT, operations, or leadership, ask yourself: Do we have a shared vision of where we’re headed? If not, it’s time to pause and define that target state before accelerating further.
