Have you been tasked to build an IT strategy that leads to turning the table in your organization’s favor? Or, one that results in IT being the sounding board and trusted adviser for the whole organization and your business partners? Well, we have been in your shoes before. So, why figure it out on your own? Benefit from having an INTERPROM’s IT strategist coach by your side.
Our IT strategist coaches have elevated dozens of IT strategists and their business performance in all major industries.
For an IT strategist, focusing on what matters, is a constant question that is on your mind. You have many stakeholders to satisfy. And even when the picture is clear, you are now faced with prioritizing and mobilizing your valuable resources. You can only “spend” your human, technical and financial capital ones. And even when these resources are well-spend for the moment, your customer and shareholders are still not satisfied, since you have not provided them with “the next big thing” that will make them stand out.
So, what is your strategy in this age of digital transformation and to deal with this ever-raising-of-the-bar? And how proactive and forward-focused is it? And do you feel that you and your organization is ahead of the game? Or, are you more frequently behind the curb?
Examples of Coaching Topics:
- Establishing a digital strategy that embraces aspects such as artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, internet-of-things, big data, robotics and/or blockchain.
- Decreasing cybersecurity risks.

Are you, as the IT strategist, asking the right questions?
As Jim Collins, the author of “Good to Great” has taught us that surrounding yourself with great people is the first step you take when turning your organization around to something that is great. Building such team may take time. And sometimes, not enough time is given to you.
INTERPROM can help you with shortening this time. Our team members have been in your position and can relate. Each has worked for 30+ years in the IT industry and has led organizations of all sizes.
Another early-on step to take, that Jim Collins observed, was to ask the right questions. Are you, as the IT strategist, asking the right questions? And where do you find the answers to these questions that you and your team are supposed to ask? Has the Internet become your main source of information?
While you may have found us online, INTERPROM’s in-person coaching services have resulted in the highest customer satisfaction levels. We are not afraid to ask the tough questions. Or, provide you with the answers you didn’t want to hear as they may be tough to swallow.
Having been in your shoes, you sometimes need a partner who is telling it like it is. And even better when it is backed with an actionable plan that elevates your business performance.
Examples of Coaching Topics:
- Fostering a culture of innovation.
- Creating a productivity culture.
- Hire for personality and train for skills.

- Principles for high-performing IT.

Are the habits in your organization the Culture of Disciplines?
We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.” It was Aristotle who taught us this, long before there were process improvement frameworks such as ITIL, CMMI and COBIT, and ISO standards such as ISO 20000, ISO 27001, ISO 22301, ISO 44001 and ISO 38500.
INTERPROM has led countless initiatives, projects and programs that left behind the foundations, the building blocks and the framework that allowed IT strategist to flourish and their organizations to thrive to performance levels that seemed out of reach.
Besides the repeatability and predictability, Aristotle’s wisdom is focusing on, he also emphasizes on the people-factor of “acts” and “habits” in his phrase. Jim Collins, the author of “Good to Great” refers to this “habit” as the Culture of Discipline.
Even when just on the surface, have you, as the IT strategist, it given any thought how to build this culture of habits as we at INTERPROM tend to call it? Or, maybe the first question should be, what is the culture that you are building in the first place?
Over the years, the dependency on IT has grown exponentially. And the end is not in sight. Repeatability and predictability of your IT service quality is what matters. Not to mention, the level of (future) driving and enabling value you are expected to deliver to your service consumers.
Examples of Coaching Topics:
- What the business says and what IT hears
- Achieving process-aware operational intelligence
- Businesses are turning to managed IT services
- How to win mobile customer’s trust
- IT’s approach to Risk Management
- Defining a mature IT security operation
- Diving into DevOps, Lean and Agile details
- Improving project management / service management / information security management
- Choosing performance metrics that make sense
- Measuring people’s performance with Objectives and Key Results (OKRs)

It was in the late 90s, when Lindsay Parker who, at that time, worked for HP, when he brought to our attention the now infamous phrase: “A fool with a tool is still a fool!”…
INTERPROM advises IT Strategists on management tools and technology architectures, sourcing strategies, selecting cloud and outsourcing partners that fit your organizational and process maturity.
Are you the IT Strategist of an organization that has lots of management tools, but few are used, or benefited from to its fullest? Lindsay was implying that in many cases the reason behind this is the lack of process maturity. Tools and technology automates our work. When not having focused on process improvement, there is little to automate. No wonder, your tools are underutilized.
INTERPROM’s IT Strategist coaches are vendor and tool-agnostic. We have no ties to any of the tool and technology vendors, solution providers, integrators, etc.
Examples of Coaching Topics:
- What enterprises want from outsourcing partners
- Selecting enterprise software
- Achieving Cloud Superiority
- Move up to the cloud: say goodbye to traditional IT
- Enterprise Mobility
- Data stewardship models
