It’s common for organizations to struggle with making significant changes to critical business operations. When considering alternative service delivery models, you need a strong rationale and an informed strategy for change that reflects the risks and opportunities, allowing you to make the best decision and get the successful results.

Businesses choose Avant Garde because we help them make complex changes in the simplest way possible. Our strategy focuses on developing a clear strategy pointing out successes and failure of the existing operational environment functions. We then work with you to add systems that simplify processes.

We will:

1. Identify how various corporate strategies, business services, culture,  and related functions are currently conceived, organized and delivered, and how this is affecting your current environments
2. Establish the baseline costs for service levels, infrastructures and key performance indicators (sales and ROI) associated with each process and function
3. Assess your current third-party systems and services including any existing sourcing agreements
4. Prepare a plan based on your business and IT requirement in three to five years
5. Clarify and organize the current models you use for policy, service delivery, and outsourcing management
6. Develop a set of “Future growth” recommendations for  your executive leadership to consider

You business may start out small, but as it grows it will need to have strategies put into place to allow for future success. Small to medium business owners tend to think "it will fix itself" that is not the case, it will never fix itself. Some owners will hire a staff member that has better experience with computers so the task of fixing the problem is placed squarely on their shoulders. The business world is rich with examples of failed attempts to standardize and centralize back-office and system functions, as costs spiral out of control and the corporate culture erodes. Successfully implementing change to business support operations is a life-cycle event that you must skillfully manage, better yet "know when to asked for help".

Avant Garde is here to help.
