Operational & Technology Alignment

ebusiness strategies works with you to develop and standardize your processes, design operational efficiencies and select and implement the optimal solutions for your organization and its unique strategic vision. Whether the required solution is organizational, operational, or technological in nature, our extensive library of tested and codified industry Best Practices helps us bring efficiency and effectiveness to bear on every aspect of CRE•WM, from project management to an IWMS solution to workplace mobility.

A major component of any shift in business operations is Change Management. Implementation of any new solution is challenging. To mitigate this challenge we employ an approach that aligns management and staff within business units, departments and teams; minimizes work disruptions and declines in productivity; and raises the levels of employee satisfaction and performance, always focused on increasing the velocity of the desired change.

Deploying new organizational structures, operational processes, mobility programs or technology solutions is dependent both on the identification of an optimal solution and on the adoption of that solution. To effectively dissipate predictable resistance and quicken the rate of buy-in and implementation, we work with our clients to develop a comprehensive strategy - to have the right person deliver the right targeted messages to specific audiences at specific times throughout the project.

Our Operational & Technology Alignment services include:

Workforce Mobility Program Development

Organizations have begun moving– some faster than others – from a manufacturing-based, linear, centralized mindset to one that leverages time and technology to benefit business, the environment, and employees through workplace mobility.

Process Redesign, Standardization and Best Practices

All work is done using processes. They can be informal, rigid, long-standing, SLA- or contract-driven, but they are always there. Standardizing and aligning them is essential to an organization’s operational success.

Organizational Design

An organization using a 21st-century business model looks significantly different from one that doesn’t. So does its structure and talent. Getting there requires designing the organization.

Operational Design

Word of mouth doesn’t work when more than two people are involved, especially in a large organization with its eye on the future. It takes a vision, a plan to get there, along with standardized processes – and fine-tuned operational policies and procedures to support them.

Transformation/Change Management

Any organizational transformation or technology implementation is complex and best put into practice with a systematic and proactive approach that deals with the inevitable change felt by organizations and individuals alike.

Technology Selection, Design & Implementation

Once you have your organizational structure and processes in place, your next goal is to support them with the appropriate technology solution.

Benchmarking

You want to know how good your processes are compared to the best industry standards. This way you know how competitive your organization is and what its prospects of success are.
