Questions About the 2027 Technology Planning Kit

Who is the 2027 Technology Planning Kit for?

It’s designed for leaders responsible for budgets, operations, risk, and technology decisions at mid-market organizations. CFOs, CEOs, COOs, CIOs, and their teams can use it to frame a planning discussion without needing to work through a technical IT guide.

What’s included in the kit?

The kit is planned to include a 2027 Technology Planning Checklist, a 2027 IT Strategy Blueprint, and a 2027 Cybersecurity Strategy on a Page, along with questions to guide leadership discussions. 

Will the kit give us a complete technology roadmap?

No. It helps your team identify priorities, potential risks, and decisions that need more investigation before the 2027 budget is finalized. A company-specific roadmap requires a closer look at your business objectives and current environment.

Can we use the kit if we already have an IT team?

Yes. It gives business and technology leaders a common way to discuss investment priorities, cybersecurity, AI governance, and business continuity. Your IT team can bring the technical context; the kit keeps the discussion tied to business outcomes.

Can Entech help us turn the kit into an actionable plan?

Yes. Entech can help you connect the priorities identified in the kit to your business goals, evaluate gaps in your current technology environment, and define practical next steps. A strategy session is an opportunity to discuss which initiatives deserve attention first, how to sequence investments, and what further assessment may be needed to build your 2027 technology roadmap.
