TOGETHER AS A TEAM
The digital roadmap team mission is to be able to respond to the following questions around Digital Business development at Ingka (Digital Roadmap):
Will the portfolio enable us to reach our objectives? (SUFFICIENCY)
Are we moving the needle for the business and for our customers? (SIGNIFICANCE)
Are we spending our resources wisely? (EFFICIENCY)
Can we thrive in the future? (RENEWAL)

We do this through interpretation and contextualization of business strategies against operational needs and help bridge gaps between strategy and execution.
We work collaboratively with Business subject matter experts, the Product organization, technical architects, and other subject matter experts in various business functions and teams to define optimal roadmap and sequence and available scenarios delivering wished outcome.
At IKEA we believe in people and that we are always better together. Within Group Digital we set the digital agenda to keep IKEA leading in an uncertain and fast-moving environment.
This is a team game, and we get points for assists!
