Guiding
Principles
|
|
1. Practice what you preach
It makes no sense to preach process
efficiency, effectiveness, and adaptability if you don't practice it in your
own daily operations.
We keep our own business operations as lean
as possible:
- Minimal
administrative functions
- No high-rent
offices
- Low sales and
marketing costs
- No partner
bonuses
- No promotional
merchandise
- No advertising
- No expensive
packaging of deliverables
- No redundancy in
methods and tools
2. Know when to quit
It also makes no sense to keep studying a
question after you have found all the answers you need. It makes even less
sense to make a customer pay for it..
Beginning with re-assessment of the
technology business case, every step in our assessment process includes an
exit check. For example, if conclusive evidence shows that the
technology business case has become obsolete, and cannot match the business
case for an alternative investment, we stop. To keep going does three
very bad things:
- It
unnecessarily adds to the cost for consulting services
- It continues
the financial drain caused by a doomed project
- If adds to the
opportunity cost of not switching resources to a better investment
To ensure maximum value for our clients, we make sure to avoid all three.
3.
Don't reinvent what already works
We can and do work with proprietary
methodologies when appropriate. As a Template-Based Consultantcy,
we can give our clients important value-added benefits by using proven, repeatable, consistent
methods, and tools implemented with readily available software.
These benefits include:
- Elimination of
low-value duplication of similar methodologies
- Credibility
from long history
- Low (or no)
acquisition cost.
- Wide base of
experienced users.
- Easy access to
free updates and customizations by user community
- Easy
adaptability to specific types of projects and business needs
- Portability
within and across organizations
