"Fluid" Prioritization
Due to the dynamic nature of change, prioritization is no longer a discrete process that is performed at the front end of lifecycle development. Continuous change requires ongoing monitoring of external and internal inputs that can impact one project or many projects (even entire portfolios and beyond). Governance needs to be married to prioritization and elevated to support a more fluid process. Portfolio managers have to embrace a more dynamic model capable of aligning, rationalizing, and prioritizing initiatives to address the following impacts (partial list):
​
-
Risk (Data, Security, Operations, ...)
-
Budgets & Funding
-
Resources (employees & vendors)
-
Products & Services
-
Customers & Partners
-
Commitments (contracts & promises)
-
Strategy & Operations
-
Stakeholders (shareholders are but one)
​
Is it any wonder why decision makers, subject matter experts (SMEs), and executives are involved in so many meetings ? The current approaches are not scalable and you can't apply Agile to just work faster.
​
We can help you work smarter (not harder) so you can balance the above list of challenges. Some of the assistance includes:
​
-
Selection of technologies to harmonize the inputs
-
Data modeling and process design
-
Integrate Prioritization & Governance
-
Shift from discrete prioritization to continuous flow
-
Prioritization modeling and business case evaluation
-
Issue & Defect Management

Driving Innovation

Become an "Ideas" (Can Do) Company
Every organization has ideas about how to do things better, create better products, or improve existing operations. So, why do some companies struggle with innovation and getting "better" ideas into products and operations ?
One of the primary reasons many companies ask for help with their innovation is because they don't have a system in place to capture and evaluate ideas, so they can generate value. So, most ideas sit in email or get lost in queues and never get actioned.
We help organizations address the above challenges and provide additional benefits. Our approach brings the following value:
-
Build and/or extend their communications to encourage engagement across the organization
-
Work with human resources to help shift the culture to become “Can Do”
-
Leverage the Biz:DNA foundation to provide a scalable repository for capturing and contextualizing ideas to improve opportunity matching
-
Provide a disciplined process for generating more diverse and disruptive ideas
-
Introduce innovation metrics to measure engagement and value add for strategic goals and objectives, product development, growth, quality, service delivery, impact on portfolios of projects, and operational effectiveness
Establish an discipline and culture to create and implement great ideas

Learn how to apply a discipline in idea generation can enhance the value of Kaizen by driving growth AND reducing operational cost.
