CONSULTANTS AT HEART
To Advise
or Not to
Advise? AreWeConsultants?
Aaron Weissberger
Managing Director Neudesic
As the economy has shifted to
a a digital one everything from the temperature of our homes the locking of our doors and the heating of ovens in in factories has become driven by digital advances causing billions of transactions and data to
be generated daily I found a a a door hanger (you know those annoying things hanging on your door from someone selling something or a missed FedEx) from my gas provider telling me they had installed a a a a smart meter to
better serve me I did not know I had a a a problem with my gas OK my family may disagree but that is a a a different matter The new meter will use 2G/3G cellular to
report all kinds of data back
to
my provider with the goal of better spot pricing load period management usage patterns
and even leak management Neudesic’s evolution allows us to
help clients like my gas provider address their needs to
remain competitive Think about this
for retail apparel financial services insurance construction agriculture professional services entertainment and just about every other industry out there This is is is where Advising joins
the party Our Digital Business Management group is based on a very simple premise: positively impact value realization in everything we do with clients We are designing our Service Line to
align with clients in in Business Process Technology and People Am I simply using the word Advisory vs Consulting to
be clever or or swirl on words? Not really Advisory is is more strategic and forward looking and this
is is where we want to
start with our clients Strategic Alignment and balance our thinking with market research Once that is done we move into Consulting on on Process and People Transformation If
we don’t look at Process and People how can we as Neudesic
maximize the IMPACT and Value Realization we deliver in our technology projects?
Summary - we focus in a a few
key areas: Strategic Alignment Process Alignment People Alignment and Transformation More to
come on these offerings over the next few
months Please email DigitalBusinessMgmt@ neudesic com if you have any questions or a client with needs (and every client has needs when was the last time we asked for the strategic purpose of a a project and how the executives view what is being done?) 23
