Ask us how the CLARITY process can help increase your profits by Aligning the components of your business.
Alignment vs. Agreement
To agree is to shake your head when another speaks, whether or not you know exactly what the person was meaning. To align is to share the values, direction and purpose with another so completely that you increase your power synergistically by joining forces.
AlignIT - Strategic Consulting Services
While all of our services are designed to help unlock the profits in your business, the strategic services are focused on this goal.
What do we mean by "AlignIT"?
As companies grow, their focus is correctly on driving sales and increasing capacity to meet demand for their products. Information Technology is not normally considered a strategic component of the business, it is primarily a support function. Our advisors believe IT can be a strategic tool in every business and we know how to make that happen.
IT's not about the structure, although structure is critically important. IT's not about hardware, software, or people either, although these are obviously critically important. IT is a collection of tools. Choosing the right tool for a job always makes the job go smoother, quicker, and enhances the chance for a successful outcome.
Aligning IT involves first determining what the task is, from a business perspective, selecting a tool suitable to the task, applying it properly for a successful result, and managing the change. That's IT.
AlignIT Advisors are very good at this activity. We are at our best when we are engaged in listening to your explanation of your business and the goals you have for it. We then brainstorm possible ways of achieving your goals with you, offer suggestions, help you select appropriate tools, and help you implement them. IT becomes an integral part of your business strategy and an enabler of that strategy. Some of the tools we use include:
- The CLARITY Process includes a number of tools we use and teach to help you get all the information, processes, and people in your organization Aligned and working together.
- Technology Change Lifecycle - the continuous improvement methodology of introducing technology change.
- Strategic Planning - The traditional long, medium, and short-term planning of technological direction.
- ERP/CRM - system selection, implementation, enhancement.
- Change Management - the human side of change.
