- Ideated potential pathways forward (tactical remediation, acquisition of new tools, wider-scale technology transformation)
- Canvased opinions of senior managers in other organizations
- Taken meetings with software product representatives and service consultancies

Commitment of Senior Managers
Sponsoring managers might find themselves sharing these expectations as they discuss emerging discovery outcomes with other functional leaders. This can also happen as they become associated with an on-trial supplier and strategic initiative.
And with the financial year progressing and pressure mounting to make inroads on strategic priorities, sponsoring managers may forgive early signs of poor supplier alignment to create short-term momentum.
These factors can contribute to ill-fitting technology supplier arrangements. These arrangements can erode the technology function’s business value due to poor definition, execution and solution adoption.
