What advice can we give?
The service usually involves one of the following aspects of strategy:
-
Definition of strategies for managing data and information
-
Reviews and critiques of those strategies
-
Input to the definition of those strategies
Strategy definition
Typical engagements
While the precise starting point will differ from one assignment to the next, this service results in the preparation of a strategy document and any outputs required by your change processes. It is common for the strategy definition service to include socialisation and stakeholder reviews.
Typical engagement effort
While the duration is dependent on the specific strategy and its requirements, a full strategy can take several weeks of elapsed time to allow for meetings with stakeholders and for initial review-feedback cycles. Most of the documentation work can be delivered off-site after a period of on-site fact finding.
Strategy review
Typical engagements
This service is concerned with the review of a complete strategy, so requires rather less effort than for the definition service. Nevertheless, strong stakeholder engagement remains important to successful delivery.
Typical engagement effort
Assignments are usually only a matter of days, allowing for time with key stakeholders to understand their priorities and desired outcomes for the strategy (and its review).
Strategy input
Typical engagements
This service is concerned with the contribution to the development of a strategy, so requires rather less effort than for the definition itself. Nevertheless, strong stakeholder engagement remains important to successful delivery.
Typical engagement effort
While there can be peaks of activity, input can usually be provided on a part-time basis and linked to when version iterations are produced. Stakeholder engagement remains important to ensure that the input reflects the desired outcomes and priorities.
