transformatieroadmaps

Transformation roadmaps, or transformatieroadmaps, are structured planning documents that describe how an organization will move from its current state to a desired future state as part of a transformation program. They translate strategic goals into a concrete sequence of initiatives, timelines, milestones, and resource needs, providing alignment among leadership, business units, and IT.

Scope and components typically covered include business processes, data, technology, organizational structure, and culture. Key elements are a current-state assessment, a target-state design, a capability map, an initiative portfolio, sequencing and roadmaps with horizons (near-term, mid-term, long-term), governance mechanisms, metrics and KPIs, risk and dependency management, budget and resource plans, and a change management and communications plan.

Development usually follows a multi-stage process: establishing the transformation vision and scope; assessing the current environment; designing the target state; identifying and prioritizing initiatives; sequencing initiatives into a phased roadmap; and defining governance, funding, and monitoring arrangements. The roadmaps are often iterated to reflect changes in priorities, technology, or external conditions.

Types of transformation roadmaps include technology roadmaps (it architecture and application landscapes), business capability roadmaps (capability development across the organization), data roadmaps, product or service transition roadmaps, and sustainability or regulatory transformation roadmaps. They are commonly used in enterprises across industries to improve governance, ensure coherent prioritization, manage risks, and track progress against strategic objectives.

Relation to frameworks and practices often includes alignment with enterprise architecture, portfolio management, and change management methodologies.
