IT Strategy 2026 for family business MUNK Group

mesakumo approaches strategy development with its proven method, the mesakumo Burger. This approach enables a structured and transparent development of the IT strategy in three steps: foundation, core, and conclusion.

To lay the foundation for the IT strategy, mesakumo founders Fabian Kracht and the project team will thoroughly review existing documentation and past IT-related projects at MUNK even before the project officially begins. An implementation-ready strategy can only be developed with a solid understanding of the corporate culture and business processes.

mesakumo is additionally conducting 12 interviews with 34 people from various departments to identify current and future IT challenges and needs. Based on the interview results, five overarching IT strategy goals are formulated within the strategy project team, which represent the vision and guidelines for MUNK's IT.

In terms of content, the goal is to create a robust and future-proof IT infrastructure that meets customer and business requirements, supports growth with existing resources, implements state-of-the-art technologies and working methods, and builds an efficient company-wide IT organisation.

To achieve these goals, many relevant digital initiatives are gathered, prioritised, and incorporated into a roadmap across three workshops with the relevant stakeholders at MUNK. The roadmap illustrates the chronological sequence and dependencies of the IT projects for the period 2024–2026. mesakumo has also outlined an IT architecture that maps the IT system landscape. To elaborate on the core of the strategy, mesakumo is creating profiles for the ten most important IT projects, describing their goals, scope, responsibilities, resources, and milestones.

mesakumo also provides external input on IT-relevant topics such as cyber security and modern, future-proof IT operations, tailored to the needs of medium-sized businesses. mesakumo has positioned itself as a sparring partner on an equal footing.

Following a 12-week project period, mesakumo is handing over the IT strategy document, which contains all relevant information and recommendations for MUNK's IT development. This establishes the roadmap for IT projects for the period 2024-2026 with clear internal responsibilities – for the continued support of customers and business partners, MUNK's growth and innovation, and the further modernisation of the IT infrastructure and workplaces.
