What exactly is the IT Strategy Committee?
▲
The IT Strategy Committee is a structured group made up of resources from both SBT and your organization — spanning executive leadership, technical architects, and operational staff. Rather than relying on a single point of contact, the committee brings multiple perspectives to your technology decisions, ensuring the right expertise is applied at every level. SBT facilitates the entire process so it runs consistently and proactively.
Who from our organization needs to be involved?
▼
That depends on your business, but typically we work with a mix of executive sponsors and operational leaders — whoever owns technology decisions and whoever feels the impact of them day-to-day. SBT structures the committee to match your organization, so you're never pulling in more people than necessary. We make participation easy and the meetings worth showing up to.
How often does the committee meet and what happens in those meetings?
▼
SBT sets and manages the cadence — typically a mix of monthly check-ins and quarterly strategic reviews. Each meeting has a clear agenda prepared by SBT in advance: roadmap progress, budget updates, vendor performance, upcoming decisions, and any emerging risks. You walk in informed and walk out with clear next steps. We handle all the prep and follow-through.
How is this different from just having a regular IT meeting?
▼
Most IT meetings are reactive — troubleshooting what broke, reviewing tickets, putting out fires. The IT Strategy Committee is forward-looking. It's structured around your business goals, not your IT problems. SBT comes prepared with data, recommendations, and a roadmap — so every meeting drives your strategy forward rather than just reviewing what happened last month.
What does SBT's role as facilitator actually mean?
▼
SBT owns the process — we set the meeting schedule, prepare the agenda, track action items, and follow up on deliverables between sessions. You don't have to chase anyone or wonder what comes next. We keep the committee moving, hold everyone accountable, and make sure your technology strategy is being executed — not just discussed.
What if we already have IT staff or vendors in place?
▼
The IT Strategy Committee works alongside whoever you already have. Existing staff and vendors can participate as part of the committee — SBT provides the structure, executive perspective, and strategic layer that's typically missing. We're not here to replace what's working. We're here to make sure everything is pointed in the same direction.
How does the committee connect to our IT roadmap and budget?
▼
The IT roadmap and budget are living documents that the committee owns and reviews together. SBT builds and maintains both — tracking progress, flagging changes, and bringing recommendations to each session. Every technology decision gets measured against the roadmap, and every budget dollar gets tied to a business outcome. Nothing gets spent or planned in isolation.
