Recent years have seen heightened interest in how information technologies (IT) are changing the nature of work in strategy and in the work of strategists. This paper highlights four ‘modes of open strategizing’ which represent the digital work activities of strategists, who in our case are top managers involved in developing and implementing a new five-year strategy at a large professional association. Top managers adopted an open strategy approach and included their organizational community in shaping a future direction for the professional association. Whilst IT-enabled openness in strategy has received significant interest recently, few studies have focused on the specific (digital) work practices of strategists and subsequently connected this to notable outcomes such as organizational transformation. We therefore respond to this by connecting the four outlined modes we identify to show realized strategic outcomes of digital work and how it can transform organizations.

近年来，人们越来越关注信息技术（IT）如何改变战略和战略家的工作性质。本文重点介绍了代表战略家的数字化工作活动的四种“开放战略模式”，在我们的案例中，他们是参与大型专业协会制定和实施新的五年战略的高层管理人员。高层管理人员采用开放战略方法，并将其组织社区纳入为专业协会的未来发展方向。尽管最近以IT为基础的战略开放性引起了广泛关注，但很少有研究集中在战略家的特定（数字）工作实践上，并将其与诸如组织变革之类的显着成果联系起来。
