How would you invest the savings you make?
There is opportunity to make significant savings – sometimes over 30% – even small steps are able to deliver double digit returns within months.
Realising value requires focus on areas that (a) have potential to deliver results and (b) are realistic for your environment. The greatest success comes from being openly curious, self-challenging and seeking constructive dialogue with stakeholders. Data can both guide and support for decision making.
Whether you are at an early stage or have a robust ITAM ecosystem, there is always potential for further gains.
Get more from your business relationships
Experience from thousands of reviews and projects shows several common themes:
- Value is left on the table – often because of the asymmetry of knowledge or information.
- Real world efficiency and performance levels drop below expectations, aspirations or forecasts.
- There is rarely a perfect alignment to policies and organisational goals.
- Risk does not disappear / transfer fully and non-compliance is pervasive.
Make sure that you get the right deals and they operate effectively, deliver in your favour and support positive supplier, customer and partner ecosystems.
Strong foundations for ongoing success
Adapting to changing needs is critical for functional groups and entire companies to remain viable. Innovating and finding solutions provides an enjoyable journey at the same time. It is understandable that governance may lag behind, even in well intentioned organisations.
It is natural for teams and individuals to focus on cascaded objectives and spend time on activities with the most tangible outcomes. With a constant need to ‘find a way’, control over processes, policies, data and quality can be deprioritised. The impacts include more limited coverage / attention, efficiency, and clarity for quality decision making.
Making improvements can deliver meaningful results, with the path often being simple and inexpensive. Defining the optimal route usually requires a pause to reflect on potential benefits beyond having ‘ticks in boxes’.
Unlock your inherent potential
Service providers have a wealth of expertise and experience that delivers significant value through services and products. This can also hamper a company’s ability to exploit the opportunity for accelerating financial results and driving greater customer impacts and satisfaction levels. There are common themes behind unfulfilled benefits, some of which are conflicting.
- Framing being confused between the objectives of central recipients and related stakeholders.
- An absence of, or resistance to, friendly contrarian challenge or suggestions for improvement.
- Limited exploration of synergies from collective areas of competence.
- Placing capabilities above client needs and outcomes.
- Diluting clarity through the sheer volume of benefits, functionality or use cases.
- Hollow messaging – buzzwords and overselling without compelling meaning or substance.
