- Our approach in adding the consulting division comes with a mandate to help CEO’s and management bolster their technology and people to reach higher levels of performance: Improved business results cannot be fully realized without blending technology and strategic initiatives at all levels of the enterprise.
- Begin your process of bridging business critical issues and IT with addressing the very painful points first. Get issues solved with low resistance entry points and build from there.
Business Technology
Becoming completely integrated with people and technology is a goal that comes with tremendous business value. It is a destination that when reached, enables small and medium size businesses avoid the pitfalls of “bolt on” solutions for their software, hardware and people strategies.
- Build a mature company beginning with strategy and planning around the basic fundamentals of business success. Those being: vision, mission, values, purpose and financial milestones. You will discover numerous opportunities for immediate financial gain, long term success, expansion possibilities and personal, business and community legacy.
- Revenue Hunt® is an exclusive service to Innovation Networks Consulting. Clients are guided to find immediate and long term cash flow that is being left on the table. Services, products and process areas that are currently under performing will start to deliver the results you had long expected.
- Talent Development through continuous coaching and training must be linked directly to the key initiatives. Individuals need to be able to develop new skills that are defined, specific, focused and relevant to your industry.
- Implement and Sustain. Unlike outdated traditional training, Innovation Networks consulting becomes an extension of your existing team by implementing a Standard Management Operating Procedure or what we like to call SMOP. The tenants of this process involve our Category Four and Lean management principles which take the guess work out of maximizing day to day operations. People love this because it brings them out of the “cold of the unknown.” Let job expectations and confusion reign supreme with your competition- not in your organization.
Frequently Asked Questions
- How long do the improvement projects take?
- When are we likely to see the results?
- What exactly takes place during the process?
- Who should be involved?
- Why shouldn’t we just do it ourselves?
How long do the improvement projects take?
Innovation Networks Consulting works with their clients in processes that take approximately 4-24 weeks depending on the amount of people in the organization. We work on site with the clients so that all the work gets completed and no loose ends are left hanging.
When are we likely to see the results?
We like to estimate 30- 180 days depending on the nature of the client and the severity of the issues at hand. It also depends on how diligent the client is with what we are working on together. However, with our Revenue Hunt program, teams have taken immediate action on new strategies and tactics, delivering instant and significant revenues.
What exactly takes place during the process?
It depends on the stage of the project but essentially we are always engaged with the people that are carrying out the new strategic direction. Sometimes the work takes place through one on one strategy sessions with senior managers and at other times, in small or large groups. As we progress to the middle stages of the project we are in training mode with the greater number of employees either in groups or through internet training.
Nearing completion and the sustainability portions, we work behind the scenes and with the client to review, tighten, improve and monitor.
Who should be involved?
The involvement of staff is dictated by the relevance of people, jobs and the components of the project. For example, only the key executives need to be involved in the initial Strategic Planning, while sales and marketing people would begin their participation in the Revenue Hunt program.
From there, all managers, line supervisors, line workers and administrative staff participate in training relative to the new strategic direction. Our approach to getting the desired client results, means that all employees receive the appropriate training during the improvement process.
Why shouldn’t we just do it ourselves?
Internal initiatives can be successful to a certain degree, depending on the nature of what is to be improved. The challenge is when the company needs real and lasting change to make an impact at every level of the organization. Innovation Networks Consulting is experienced and will handle this with great care and expertise. It’s what we have done every day for 18 years and why hiring us is a more sound decision then trying to improve things only through internal resources.
