Business Strategy, Technology and the New Reality

Technology specialists agree that companies should focus on reinventing the role of technology in business. Strategies should be aimed at ensuring that the functionalities of technological tools are focused on making the company grow and not just on fulfilling basic tasks.

The business strategies that serve to compete in this new business scenario must take into account most of the factors that influence the operation and growth of companies.

It's not just one particular technology driving the change, but many of them coming together,' said Krish Krishnakanthan, McKinsey & Co.'s North America application development and maintenance leader, in a McKinsey & Co. conversation."

Business strategy must match business priorities with technology priorities, because it doesn't work to develop your business strategy and then your technology strategy, Krishnakanthan said.

Technology-based strategy has a more important role to play in launching and marketing products."
