1.5 - Technical Strategy

---

Summary

I offer strategic input into technical decision-making, supporting organisations in shaping and refining their longer-term technology direction. My focus is on advising on technical priorities, architectural considerations, and strategic trade-offs to ensure alignment with organisational goals, operating context, and future growth needs.

a. Strategic perspective on technology foundations

I provide informed perspective on existing technology foundations and future direction, helping organisations assess current capabilities and identify areas for improvement. This supports the development of practical, forward-looking technical strategies aligned with organisational objectives.

b. Aligning technical choices with business objectives

I work with stakeholders to ensure technical decisions are grounded in business priorities rather than technology alone. This alignment supports effective delivery, operational sustainability, and responsiveness to changing organisational needs.

c. Informed guidance on innovation and risk

I offer guidance on emerging technologies, industry trends, and innovation opportunities, while considering associated risks and constraints. This balanced approach supports thoughtful adoption of new capabilities without exposing the organisation to unnecessary complexity or risk.

d. Supporting governance and sound practice

I contribute to the development and refinement of technology governance by advising on standards, policies, and best practices. This helps promote consistency, compliance, and responsible use of technology across the organisation.

e. Enabling informed strategic decisions

I support leaders and decision-makers by providing clear, structured input into technology-related decisions. This ensures that investments and initiatives are evaluated with an understanding of their operational, technical, and strategic implications.
