Why most Tech Strategies fail
Tech strategies fail most commonly when they are too generic—applicable across industries and company sizes rather than tailored to specific organizational needs—creating an illusion of direction while leaving teams flying blind. A second critical failure pattern is cargo culting, where leaders ritualistically adopt strategic elements (like declaring themselves "AI-first") without understanding the underlying problems they're meant to solve or whether they're appropriate for their specific context. These failures result from not using strategies as concrete decision-making tools that differentiate an organization's direction, instead treating them as generic best practices that rarely deliver competitive advantage.
