Overview
What this challenge is about.
Inventory the current IT estate from anonymized exports (CMDB extract, license registry, 4 plant CIO interviews, last 18 months of incident data). Identify 5 strategic themes (likely candidates: ERP consolidation, plant-floor modernization, identity unification, data platform foundation, application portfolio rationalization). For each theme propose a 3-year roadmap with year-by-year capex/opex, business KPIs that move, and dependencies. Deliver a 20-page strategy document, a 1-page board summary, a roadmap visual, and a 30-minute board readout deck. Success: a CFO can defend every euro of the asked investment.
