Strategic Planning and Organizational Change

Before you invest in yet another software tool, take a step back. What are you trying to achieve? How can you be sure that your organization can actually take advantage of what these software tools have to offer?  

We can help you put a plan together that defines your goals and how they relate to your organization's mission, or we can help you plan for the organizational impact of adopting new technology. We focus on both the direct and indirect impacts that new software can have on an organization - ranging from evaluating staff roles and career paths to defining how these roles translate to hands-on software training needs.

With every plan, we apply three stages on analysis to produce a set of Next Steps are defined to help clients chart their path of implementation.

Current State Analysis
This step places an emphasis on fully understanding the stakeholder needs and the current enterprise environment.  Activities include gathering existing information, conducting stakeholder surveys and interviews, reviewing technical platforms and applications, and confirming conclusions through workshops focused on Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Challenges (S.W.O.T.).
Strategic Alternatives
After developing a better understanding of enterprise needs, the project team focuses on strategic initiatives and options to address issues and needs. Best Practices research will be conducted to review how other organizations have addressed similar issues. Several “straw models” are developed that incorporate various alternatives for addressing the strategic issues and needs identified in the Current State Analysis. 
Implementation Planning
The final phase develops the detail behind selected models and initiatives to provide the consortium with a tactical plan for moving forward. Quick Hit initiatives will be identified that can provide early momentum.  Phases will be designed to deliver tangible benefits early while investing in long-term strategies and architectures.  Planning will consider the impact on organization staffs, polices, workflows, and services. In addition to estimating implementation costs, the team will also estimate the implantation benefits, to provide a return on investment case for promoting the plan to stakeholders. Roles, skill sets, communications, and training must be considered as both a cost and investment for success. Return on Investment will be estimated for each major initiative, measuring return in the areas of cost savings, new revenues, enhanced services, reduced risk, and improved productivity.
