A practical guide on strategic roadmapping for information and operations technology management: a case study on industry 5.0 transformation

Strategic roadmapping is in realizing strategic visions and driving transformative agendas, but its methodology remains largely underdeveloped, particularly in the context of information and operations technology management. To address this gap, this study proposes a strategic roadmapping methodology to standardize and enhance its applicability in academia and practice. This methodology offers an approach to develop a strategic roadmap, involving defining the roadmap’s vision and boundaries, identifying critical initiatives, establishing priorities and contextual relationships, and highlighting the importance of continuous monitoring and updating. A case study focusing on Industry 5.0 transformation success is utilized to demonstrate the functionality and implications within the information and operations technology management context. The result allows manufacturers to effectively navigate the complexities and disruptions of Industry 5.0, fulfill its core objectives, and ultimately achieve digitalization success.
