Strategic Alignment and Business Transformation

Day-to-day operations may become misaligned as business strategy shifts to keep pace with the economic environment, competition, and the changing needs of employees and customers. With mergers and acquisitions, or with growth or rightsizing, operations may have to shift.  Being able to successfully translate and align strategies into day-to-day operations is critical to being able to deliver your products and services. 

The success of the changes you make lies within each individual within your organization.  We can help you  create and implement a change plan which:
- energizes and engages people
- establishes key capabilities
- provides clarity of vision and how each person contributes to it

Illustrative services include:
- Structuring and facilitating strategic design sessions and leadership retreats
- Developing transformation plans in alignment with new strategies
- Defining the right organizational structure to support your changes
- Talent management

Communications & Collaboration, Social Computing

There is a cultural and generational shift in the way people work. The use of  wikis, blogs, forums, social networks and purchasing networks used extensively in people’s personal lives can move naturally to communicating and learning with these media in the business environment.  These social computing technologies can  enable businesses to share knowledge and collaborate in new ways—not only to improve internal communications but also to change the way they connect with their customers.

Illustrative services include:
- Developing internal communications strategy
- Determining what social media can assist you with internal and external communications
- Setting practical policies related to the use of social media

Leveraging Technologies to Improve Business Operations

The lure of technologies that give employees sleek and sexy ways of doing their tasks can be very difficult to resist. However, technologies which do not align to business operations can be very costly and inefficient. Our starting point is to look at your operational effectiveness, because automating a bad process only lets you do it faster. Once you are operating optimally, we will help you define business requirements and then source, select and implement technology which supports your business operations.

Illustrative services include:
- facilitating the development of meaningful business requirements
- sourcing and selecting key employee and customer information systems
- developing effective transition plans from project to operations and ongoing sustainment.
