Case study
Tribal IT governance & roadmap
From fragmented operations to a defensible multi-year plan
Summary
A sovereign nation needed a credible IT roadmap for council and federal stakeholders—linking security, capital, and service delivery without over-promising vendor outcomes.
Challenge
Technology decisions had been reactive: overlapping contracts, unclear ownership between departments, and limited documentation for audit and grant reporting.
Approach
We established a governance model aligned to tribal priorities, sequenced initiatives by risk and funding windows, and created board-facing narratives that matched operational reality.
Outcome
Leadership secured alignment on a prioritized roadmap, reduced redundant spend in the first budget cycle, and improved transparency for interdepartmental planning.
