Enterprise Strategies

Process then Technology™
Processes influence an organization’s behavior and thus it’s performance. Modeling tools help examine the processes and tasks providing a way of capturing total requirements. By using industry standard models we can help your organization provide answers to fundamental questions such as: What are we doing? Why are we doing it? How and where is it done? Who is responsible for it? Finding answers to these questions can reveal inconsistencies and gaps in existing practices.

Metrics Driven
Our team will assist in the formulation of strategies (projects and organizations) with measurable objectives and change projects identified based on performance instead of point solutions. By utilizing standard industry models, metrics are tightly connected to performance attributes such as:

SCOR
Supply Chain Operational Reference Model (SCOR) - assets, cost, flexibility, reliability and responsiveness
PMMM
Project Management Maturity Model (PMMM) - coverage of the 9 basic areas including Project Integration, Scope Management, Cost Management, Quality Management, and Risk Management
Porfolio Management
Investment Portfolio - Definition and organization of the portfolio, determination of the Roadmap/Plan of Record, and management of the portfolio

Process Driven
By focusing on Process then Technology ™ our Enterprise Strategy Team will redirect focus from systems to business processes. Today many system linkage diagrams are mistaken for process diagrams. By adopting our approach, process description language will have many benefits including:

No systems internal functionality knowledge required to understand process descriptions
No need for translation by software or process experts
Reusability of project documentation

By linking the business, project objectives, and measurements to processes our Enterprise Strategy team can provide end-to-end rationale to the processes, organizations and systems in place.
