Technology o How technology touches the business today and what needs to change to deliver against the business objectives. Technology is a critical aspect of enabling change and achieving competitive advantage.
Measurement o What is critical to the customers view of success, what are the critical success factors for the change programme, what needs to change and where are the expected benefits to be realised from each specific change to the process?
People Development o Where are the gaps in the current team, what additional resource is required to manage the transitional period, and how does the future state affect the makeup of the team?
Always remember that the aim of a strategy is to accomplish four objectives: 1. Identify where customers get value from the business 2. Align the decision-making, expenditure, people development, value proposition, technology development and people within an organisation 3. Provide individuals with clear guidelines for their interaction with customers, suppliers and with each other 4. Steer the organisation down a pre-defined path of high growth coupled with maximum returns and ever-increasing customer value Alignment is about making sure that this strategy is relevant to, and understood by, all areas of the business impacted by it and that the entire organisation buys into its execution.

The technology alignment process appeals to companies that want to drive bottom-line growth in a down economy, those who want to use technology to drive business performance, and companies who have failed to see the expected returns on prior technology investments. Specifically, value engineering allows you to: Integrate and get the most out of your current technology solutions. Align your technology spend to the strategic objectives of the organisation. Unlock the value in your people, your enterprise software supply chain and your technology ecosystem. Reduce unproductive tasks, eliminate duplicate data entry and automate manual processes. Gain more visibility into and control over every important aspect of your business metrics.
