Business Agility
You’ve heard about Agile but aren’t sure it’s right for your organization. Is your industry fast-moving? Do your customers expect more? Becoming Agile will help you increase speed to market, meet ever changing customer demand and increase team productivity.
No matter what stage of an Agile Transformation you are in, we can help. Our team brings years of experience helping organizations become more agile. Our process begins with a thorough understanding of your current situation and goals. More than anything, we consider ourselves to be educators, coaches and trusted advisors.
Let us bring the life-changing benefits of Agile to your organization.
Technology Strategy
Every company is a technology company, even if it doesn’t build and innovate new technology itself. Even companies in traditional industries and those operating in niche markets are practically required to invest in core technologies to operate efficiently. Yet, in many companies, IT is managed as a simple technical function. Processes and systems may be designed well from a technical viewpoint, but align poorly with business objectives.
It’s no secret that innovation is required to leapfrog the competition. But innovation alone is not enough. The creativity that spawns innovation is only useful if it’s channeled into driving business outcomes. The reality of limited resources necessitates that organizations become better and more efficient at adopting new technologies that deliver value and reduce costs.
Our team has decades of experience designing technology strategy. Let us bring that experience to you.
Technology Roadmap
Let’s assume you have a strong strategy. You know where you want to go, but getting there is filled with pitfalls and insecurity. Are you sure everyone knows the “why”, “what”, and “when” before you start the “how”? We start with the technology that you already have, define the technology you’d like to implement in the future, and we work to avoid risks and costly mistakes.
Our roadmap workshops are interactive. Over the course of roadmap planning, we’ll consider your current capabilities and those you’ll need to support your business objectives. We’ll align infrastructure changes and create operations and support plans. Our significant experience in highly regulated industries gives us compliance awareness. And, of course, information security of always top of mind.
Many consider a strong technology roadmap as a critical component to successfully eliminating gaps between your technology and your business plans.
We can help you create that roadmap and show you how to remain agile as business goals change.
Business Continuity
Every single day brings the potential of a new crisis. Elasticity within your strategic alignment may mean the difference between a quick recovery and closing your doors forever. If the pandemic showed us one thing, it’s that the world we live in is a vulnerable place.
Are you prepared for everything from a temporary power outage to regional or global loss of services? Our process begins with a “what if” workshop. We define many types of events and check them against your current plan. We then develop solutions where we find gaps. It may sound crazy to think about each possible scenario. But who thought we’d need to plan for a 2 year global pandemic? Organizations that planned for other scenarios were able to modify those plans and react. Those that failed to plan, just failed.
Once your plans are in place, we can help you tabletop a few scenarios and test the waters with your team. How will they react? What will they do as the scenario gets progressively worse? Let’s find out together.
Maturity Assessment
Whether your technology program is working or dysfunctional, there is always room for improvement. Looking at your technology as well as processes, procedures, governance, and operational efficiency, we will create a view into the heart of your technology.
Transparency into your technology program, as well as comparing it to the best practices of others, gives you the information you need to make decisions on your future investment.
Project managment
Establishing a new PMO? Or do you simply need a project management expert to lead, guide and deliver your most strategic initiatives? Our project leaders can help you establish project best practices, on-board new project managers or assist with an entire PMO setup. Or, if you have an initiative that you just need an experience project manager, turn to us. All of our project managers are certified agile experts. Using one of several agile frameworks, or a combination of them, we can set you up for success.
