SOLVING Today's TECHNOLOGY INTENSIVE Business Challenges...

1. Startup Growth Challenge – Not long ago (in the dotcom era) a small technology based business could launch, develop an interesting new technology or application, gain a few niche customers, and sell to investors in about 9-15 months. Today, investors seek companies with stable year-over-year growth in sales and profit.  The smart, aggressive, yet relatively inexperienced leaders of these firms may lack the skills necessary to structure, operate, and grow their company to reach this level.  Worse, they may embrace fads disguised as 'Best Practice' without evidence of success.
2. Downsizing Fallout - Businesses are forced to operate lean, and 'just do more with less’. They often had to jettison senior and more costly leaders/contributors to meet financial goals. While this affords the ability to run at lower cost, it causes a resource constraint by having less (or no) resource bandwidth, capability, or expertise to navigate challenging business management waters.
3. Corporate Chaos - In many cases, this lack of experience, expertise, or resources causes companies to focus tactically on 30 day heroics to meet their immediate goals, spending too much time extinguishing fires, and too little activity on prevention. They desperately need the capability to rise above, methodically evaluate their business, forget fads, design processes and optimize their systems to repeatedly and reliably meet their business needs.
4. Under-Utilized Systems - To urgently address issues, chaos, growth demands, or resource constraints - companies often turn to IT based solutions (like CRM, HRIS, ERP, POS and/or Finance Systems). These tools and systems are generally good, YET it is common to find a system not fully implemented, and heavily UNDERutilized. Lots of capability but furnishing only fractional utility. The root cause is typically that the client did not have the time or resource to 'think thru' the future state of how they want to 'run their railroad'. In most cases, 'use case training' is absent. The result is expensive tools, delivering low payoff.
5. Applying New Technologies - Many technologies such as Data Analytics and Predictive Modeling are robust science, yet the methods of application and incorporation into corporate business workflows are generally viewed as 'ad hoc'.  This doesn't need to be the case.
