Our Approach:
Sponsor Alignment and Project Governance and Structure:
Project Governance with Steering and Expert Technology Strategy Teams and suitable Governance and Communications structure were created, with a high degree of freedom extended to Expert team.
Team Creation & Building, Technology Framework Selection and Strategy Development:
To create a high performing team and to scope out and structure the project, we designed and facilitated a series of highly interactive workshops.
Each focused on different stages of Framework Selection and Strategy Development journey and built on previous:
Team Education and Alignment, project vision, future states and success at one and three years, decision matrix on technology frameworks, timelines and key milestones and initial Implementation Plan with a Communications Plan
Technology Framework Selection
Using decision matrix, Expert Team scanned internal and external markets and academic institutions for suitable processes and brought suitable models recommendations back for final selection
Agreed to progress with Technology Roadmapping Framework, Cambridge University- CTM
Strategy Development with Cambridge University Experts
Developed Technology Strategy with vision, scope and multi-year implementation roadmaps; whilst also addressing technology stronghold shortfalls.
Implementation Plan Finalisation and Client Handover:
Final Technology Strategy, Roadmap and Communications Plan aligned into Strategic Planning and Governance and clear actionable Communications Plan addressing the technology strongholds and Business Process overview.
Our Methodologies:
Whilst we used employed methodologies, these are the most important:
Technology Roadmapping Framework (Cambridge University – Centre for Manufacturing)
