SERVICE CAPABILITY

ICT Strategy & Governance Advisory

ICT strategy consulting and governance advisory for Australian Government programs, connecting investment decisions, enterprise architecture and practical delivery roadmaps.

What this service entails

Pinaka provides ICT strategy consulting for Australian Government organisations that need to align technology investment with policy, operational priorities and delivery constraints. Our consultants work with executives, business owners and technical teams to define clear strategic direction, proportionate ICT governance, enterprise architecture and an actionable technology roadmap.

Challenges we help address

Decision rights, assurance pathways and architectural accountabilities are unclear.
Strategies and roadmaps are not sufficiently connected to delivery, procurement or measurable outcomes.

Key activities

Assess the current operating, information and technology environment.
Facilitate executive and stakeholder workshops.
Define target-state principles, ICT governance and decision rights.
Develop prioritised technology roadmaps, digital and ICT investment options and implementation plans.
Align strategy and investment planning with relevant Australian Government architecture, policy and assurance expectations.

Typical deliverables

Governance framework and decision-rights model
