When failure is not an option

Change creates challenge
Challenge presents opportunity
Being faced with the prospects of transitioning part or all of your organisations information systems or processes can seem like a daunting task - however, it presents the opportunity not just to replace what was, but to realise significant benefits at each step of the journey. We understand the pressure that these situations put on an organisation and offer a number of services to alleviate the stress, reduce the risk and drive the benefits.
Transitioning is not usually a regular occurrence, so it is no wonder that, along with the issues that executives “know that they don’t know”, there are a plethora of issues that “they don’t know that they don’t know”. Our business focused Transition Planning services are intended to provide clarity and prioritisation to the objectives, issues, risks and responsibilities. We engage with you in the capacity that you require at a strategic, tactical or operational level - be it providing strategic direction, empowering internal teams to rise to the challenge, or selecting, negotiating with and managing vendors. | Examples:
When a construction comany embarked on transitioning their accounting system to a version that would support their long term business and information systems needs, we identified that the incumbent vendor was unlikely to be able to deliver in the required critical timeframe: working with the vendor to have the issues addressed was not being productive, so we sourced a back-up vendor and negotiated an outcomes based contract to ensure that the project delivered.
When a road builder identified a number of initiatives on their “wish list” for technology enabled business improvement, it became obvious that they could not all be completed at once. As a way of prioritising these, we assisted them to complete a value matrix - rating the project complexity and business return to identify the initiatives that were low hanging fruit, quick win, must have or, perhaps most importantly, money pits. This allowed them to focus their effort on the top three initiatives of the greatest benefit while avoiding over investment in dead end projects. |
