Part III. Communicating the Strategy

In Part II, we examined a catalog of patterns to help you create your strategy. In this part, we’ll look at how to take the strategy you’ve created and communicate it in a compelling way to a variety of audiences in order to achieve your aims. The 20 communication patterns in this part are represented in Figure III-1.

There are patterns for the approach we take to the work as a mental model. These are the most abstract, and represent a unique take on how to think about your work, but also feature many practical tips you incorporate into your daily work to make you more successful. Finally, we’ll look at frameworks for putting together the decks in which you will keep your strategy and make executive requests.

All of the creation and communication patterns taken together represent a holistic, unified framework of templates you can use to create the substance of your technology strategy and successfully roll it out.
