Transforming Information Technology –

IT Strategy and Tactical Efficiencies

 

Information Technology is so often seen as just a painful and expensive necessity, particularly in difficult times.

 

The fleet footed take the opportunity of trying times to review whether they still have a recognisable and coherent IT strategy that’s capable of taking on emerging challenges.

 

The fact that you are reading this suggests that you have already rejected the short term expedient of sacrificing strategy for simple cost efficiency. After all, why address just half of the problem? Short-term, indiscriminate cost-cutting can do untold damage to future capability.

 

Maybe you’ve just embarked on a merger or a ‘forced’ acquisition – a situation you may not have chosen - but you now have to face the reality of a new organisation. What choices do you need to make regarding your IT solutions and how can you achieve the anticipated cost benefits of the joint structure?

 

In any of these situations we in Woburn Consulting Group know what you are going through – we’ve been there! More importantly – we’ve been there and we’ve thrived. We can help you do the same!

How to Master Your Mind & Your Potential

If you want to master your mind, create and maintain a disciplined methodology, and shape what you want to be, do and have in your life, then you really must read Philip Atkinson’s newly published article – “How to Master the Mind & Your Potential”. This is an introduction to his book of the same title, which will be released on December 24th 2011 and which can be downloaded from Kindle.

As we progress into 2012, we cannot be certain of anything anymore, including the economy and our own livelihoods. This book goes a long way in supporting those who want to take charge and shape the future the way they want to live it. The book is written as a novel and follows the progress of Sam, who changes his life around over a period of five days.

If you want to take charge of your future and don’t know where to start, this is a primer 101 on life management and personal success. So, if you want your 2012 to be the best year yet, I suggest you look for the title on Amazon and make your New Year a secure one.

The Power to Influence: Change Management

Your ability to influence others is critical if you want to drive any improvement or change project. The application of techniques and processes is not sufficient to change behaviours and business cultures. Reliance on using authority and the power that goes with it is insufficient to create along lasting change. What is required is the skilful use of a repertoire of behavioural techniques to bring about change and improvement in how we do business. Phil Atkinson focuses on the core skills that are necessary to become a catalyst and indeed a master in driving and implementing organisational change.
