Project Management
Poor management of a project can stretch limited resources to the breaking point.
Whether you have a project in trouble, want to improve your project team, want to increase
results with best practices or just need the right project manager, we provide the
knowledge, expertise and technology deployment experience to make immediate, measurable
results.
Our project leaders combine the expertise needed to manage your project in order to get
the results you need: strong communication skills, issue resolution, project planning,
project estimating, financial management and years of experience. Whether it is
integration with existing systems or a new program implementation, we help lead the
project team to success.
We lead the project by:
- Controlling project scope
- Identifying project risks and issues
- Enhancing project communications and reporting to key stakeholders
- Managing project schedules and details
- Establishing change management controls
- Developing clients' project management skills

Requirements Analysis and Development
Incomplete requirements. Changing requirements. Lack of user involvement. These are the
top three causes for IT projects to fail. We tackle all of these issues to make it difficult
for any of these failures to occur.
After reviewing details with business stakeholders, we outline ALL the requirements needed
to implement your business change. We include Training, Organizational Design, Infrastructure,
Methods and Procedures, Software, and Operational Requirements.
We ensure that requirements are grounded in business processes, rooted in solid business
fundamentals and cover all the needed functions to deploy a business capability successfully.
By using our requirements methodology, we also gather requirements faster than traditional
requirement-gathering activities. And our requirements require less re-work and less
questioning by the development teams.
Because of this, teams understand requirements, deployments are smoother, and the business
change has much lower risks.

Process Analysis & Innovation
Our approach doesn't focus on merely one aspect of your business. We recognize that in order
to deliver the best service, all components of people, process and technology must be in synch.
Using our methodology, we assess and document your current business processes. Then we
create a future state that achieves the same business function with a more streamlined
operation. Once the detailed future-state model has been defined, we develop the requirements
needed to address the business changes.
We also create the detailed requirements needed to address your business changes. These
changes might include shifts in the organization, job roles, job skills, technology, as
well as necessary process transitions.
The result: Elimination of inspections, cross-organizational handoffs, time delays, and
customer frustrations.

Request for Information (RFI) & Request for Proposal (RFP) Management
Should you buy or build new applications? Sometimes, working through the decision process
is harder than implementing the system. By having an independent third party sort through
the details, you'll be able to make decisions more objectively.
In creating an RFI/RFP, we analyze your current operation, define your desired future state
and then develop the requirements needed for the desired vendor implementation. By utilizing
the information gathered during the Requirements Definition stage, we produce a detailed
RFI/RFP document. This document includes all business needs, is easy for vendors to
understand and helps the vendors respond effectively.
Once the RFI/RFP has been created, we can also assist with the market research needed to
identify which vendors should be include in the process. Our consultants manage the RFI/RPF
process by analyzing and scoring each vendor's solutions and then by creating a recommendation
summary report.

Organizational Development
Organizational Design. The structure of an organization--regardless if it's a traditional
hierarchy, matrix, or a hybrid form--can give a business its competitive advantage.
We customize our approach to each organization's unique situation by aligning strategy,
process, structure and people.
This approach is used to deliver the following key organizational design services:
- Organizational design roadmap
- Competency models
- Career development (including the development of career paths/ladders)
- Succession planning
Change Management. All strategic changes--ranging from new processes, to new IT application
to product launches, to organizational development--run the risk of encountering resistance
from employees. This results in increased project costs and, in some cases, outright failure.
We use a proven approach to organizational change management to increase the overall
effectiveness of project outcomes. Our change management services focus on the following
areas:
- Organizational readiness
- Stakeholder analysis and engagement strategies
- Communication plans and employee education
- Change resistance plans
- Culture change strategies
Team and Individual Development. Employees can make or break your business. We help you to continuously develop employees and create high-performing teams through:
- Team building
- Personal development inventories (including Myers-Briggs Type Indicator®, DISC® Profile, INSIGHT® Inventory)
- Conflict resolution
- Employee and executive coaching

Training
It's estimated that 50 percent of all employees' skills become outdated in three-to-five
years. So, a workforce's ability to quickly adapt to new products, technologies or strategic
initiatives is crucial to an organization's longevity.
We help equip your employees with the knowledge they need to support strategic change.

Business Case Development
How often do you know the future benefits of your project before you begin? How confident
are you in developing the business case? Do you have a structured way to capture both
quantitative and qualitative benefits associated with a proposed business change?
Our methodology helps us develop a rapid, yet thorough analysis of your proposed business
change, so that business stakeholders can begin to envision the future state.
We define the business model changes required for your desired business direction and then
detail the costs and benefits associated with the project. As a result, stakeholders can
make the right decisions about the value of pursuing a strategic change.
Once the business case is approved, and the project is launched, the details of the business
case help keep your team focused on achieving the right business objectives.

Custom Software Development
How smooth is your software development process? Are users satisfied with the finished
product? Do users always get what they want?
We focus heavily on the requirements-gathering process to make sure the requirements are
detailed enough to effectively run the software development process. And that they are
exhaustive enough so that user expectations are met without missing requirements that
may slow User Acceptance Testing (UAT). Our requirements are not limited to just software
specification. Our focus on holistic business benefit helps ensure that your software
installation works with your business - not against it.
Our requirements-gathering methodology helps organizations to rapidly move through the
development life cycle, without the problems associated with incomplete requirements.
Because our requirements are complete and traceable to business process, custom software
development is low-risk and more streamlined.
Our project managers know how to deliver software, and our consultants have years of
experience in technical architecture, design and software build-and-test. As a result,
the development cycle is easier to complete, because the expectations of both user and
developer are clearly identified.

Package Software Installation
Our consultants can help you evaluate off-the-shelf packages against your organization's
business and technical requirements in order to select the right package for implementation.
However, package software installation isn't just about configuring the parameters and
installing the software. The business changes needed to accommodate the package software
have to be accounted for as well.
In addition, package software generally has requirements for system interfaces, and our
consultants have the integration experience to help you fill in the gaps between package
software and your current systems.
By taking a holistic approach to requirements definition, we make sure that the software
is ready for your organization, and that your organization is ready for the software.
