Seamlessly create strategic plans that align your architecture and spending to your overall business objectives with InQuisient’s Strategic Planner tool. IQ allows enterprises to use authoritative data to find opportunities to maximize resources, optimize processes and generate a clear, data-driven path to successfully executive strategic initiatives.

Create a single source of truth and implement your vision with transparency and clarity. Build consensus and alignment around strategic goals that match your organization’s mission and speed transformation. InQuisient’s advanced strategic planning tool starts with data truth by filling a common gap in enterprise strategic planning and communications initiatives.

Align your data

to your decisions

In many organizations, Enterprise Architecture (EA) and strategic business goals are completely disconnected. As a consequence, results are often delayed, budgets are exceeded and time is wasted. In order to react swiftly and appropriately to business changes, agile Enterprise Architecture must provide a way to capture how services align to broader business motivations, such as vision, goals, objectives, strategies, and mission.

InQuisient’s IQ Strategic Planner can help. IQ’s browser-based software enables you to link your business vision, goals, strategies, tactics and business rules from anywhere. The IQ Strategic Planner also automatically connects any resulting business specifications to align your EA and IT stack with your goals and directives and summarizes the information in an easy-to-understand strategic plan document. By integrating disparate sources of information together with IQ, your organization can see the full, true picture, ask the right questions and get direct answers so strategic plans can be built with confidence and accuracy.

Step 2

Identifies and defines the elements of business plans; indicates how all these factors and elements inter-relate

Step 3

IQ Strategic Planner captures business requirements across different dimensions to rigorously capture and justify why the organization wants to do something, what it is aiming to achieve, how it plans to get there, and how it assesses the result.
