IT management and IT delivery are separate topics, you would not take a coach driver and expect him to be able to drive a HGV1 articulated lorry with trailer, granted a good driver will more than likely be able to perform the task but it is an entirely different skill set. Yet we often expect technicians to also be our strategists, project managers and source of all information relating to technology.
We translate technical into business so that you can make informed decisions and then business back into technical to get the job done. We match the skills and the personality of the senior manager to the culture and requirements of your organisation, so that you get someone who speaks your language at every level and at a cost you can afford.
Nico Consultancy have trained consultants who are at the leading edge of organisational alignment and can provide business models to assist any size or type of organisation wishing to maximise their investment in technology.
There are many barriers to becoming an aligned organisation. Nico Consultancy can help identify and break down the barriers which often exist in organisations. We show people the potential benefits of becoming engaged and help to break down the myths and barriers which are often built up in an organisation over time.
IT Audits and Risk assessments are often misunderstood or not undertaken. If a company is going to spend a considerable amount of money on a new project isn’t it sensible to assess the risks before committing to the project. Regardless of the project type (in-house development, outsourced, new building or relocation) ensuring that the goals and objectives can be reached in the time-frames and within the budget must be important.
And yet we can all point to projects that have over run and are over budget, just look at almost all of the Public sector projects. Why is this? Surely they have teams of people assessing the risks and impact of the project.
Well no, often a project audit and risk assessment is no more than lip service by people who often do not understand the requirements, the scope or the time-frames. Nico Consultancy have been involved in global projects from both an infrastructure and development perspective and we can offer an independent assessment of any project so that you don’t rush blindly into the sales pitch.
