The Forrester Technology Strategy Impact Award celebrates IT organizations that excel in aligning their strategies with business goals, proving adaptability, and building trust through security and resilience. This award offers an opportunity for IT leaders to highlight their contributions towards driving significant business outcomes in an ever-changing technological landscape.
A fantastic way to recognize your team
At the heart of every successful company lies a high-performing IT organization — a team that pursues the continuous improvement of business results through technology. This award looks to honour those remarkable IT organizations that have proven their mettle in aligning technology with the dynamic needs of the business.
What makes a winning submission
A standout submission for the Technology Strategy Impact Award will:
- Align with business goals: Clearly show how IT strategies accelerate the company’s goals, be it growing revenues, improving profitability or avoiding risks.
- Adaptability: Provide examples of your IT capabilities flexibility in response to changing customer and business needs.
- Trust: Detail how your strategies have strengthened your IT organization’s reputation through enhanced security, privacy, and resilience.
- Impact: Share specific outcomes where IT has contributed to cost savings, revenue growth, customer satisfaction, or market differentiation.
Crafting Your Submission: Tell The Story!
Your submission should tell a powerful story of transformation and achievement. Avoid generic statements. Share specific, measurable outcomes that reflect the depth of your innovation and its impact on your business. For instance, rather than simply telling your IT department contributes to company efficiencies, detail the exact measures taken, such as streamlining your application portfolio or reducing your vendor technology counts, and the tangible helps these actions have provided.

- Relevance and depth. The clarity and depth of your responses to the award criteria.
- Innovation. The uniqueness and creativity of your IT strategies.
- Measurable results. The tangible impact of your strategies on the business.
We assure confidentiality throughout the process, ensuring your innovative strategies are recognized and celebrated while safeguarding your proprietary information.
