CHALLENGES
There are 2 key challenges we specialize in addressing:
- Uncertainty
- Uncertainty in Method
i.e. Work out how to achieve the result
- Uncertainty in Outcome
i.e. Achieve as much as you can with the time/budget allowed
- Deadlines
- Hard Deadlines dictated by natural factors e.g. Y2k problem
- Imposed deadlines:
- By Regulators
- By Customers
HOLISTIC APPROACH
Consider the whole problem first, then break it down for project delivery.
- Understand the business objectives
- Consider all Stakeholders
Benefits - look to boost
Adverse impacts - look to minimize
- Efficient Processes
- End to end, not silos
- Adapt processes to exploit automation fully
- Effective Systems
- Integration
- Simplification
UNDERSTAND WHAT IS REALLY IMPORTANT
- and what can wait. Prioritisation of business requirements is one of the most challenging elements of practical psychology and usually almost everything ends up as top priority.
This needs a tactful approach to resolve:
- Customer focus
- Analytical techniques
What if? scenarios
- Challenging the expressed requirements
DESIGN A SOLUTION THAT’S FUNDAMENTALLY SIMPLE
Most people really struggle to build a complex solution because they don’t understand it - if a simple solution is available, then go for it
- Get everyone to understand it, and their contribution
- Stakeholder management
- Stakeholder communications
- Knowledge management
LEAD THE CHANGE
Changes don’t happen just by themselves, they need effective leadership as well as management
- Provide Direction as needed
- Give Inspiration - vision and style
- Coaching - for a lasting change
