Emerging into a new world after the CoVID19 pandemic into increasing discord from polarized politics of the past several years, we expect more peril and opportunity. In addition, contention and technology may collude to present enormous challenges. To navigate these rough seas we offer a structured methodology that we pioneered to optimize performance and improve resilience against future disruptions. Our method provides a way to map possibilities into plans and manage implementation – to help our clients occupy the magic quadrant of vision and execution. We call our methodology Objective-Oriented Improvement™ (OOI™). Although related to Management By Objectives (MBO) and similar methodologies, OOI™ concentrates on structured planning with formal metrics, testing, and execution phases.
Navigating the years ahead will require innovation, flexibility, and discipline. Our new world presents not only peril and opportunity, but also specific risks for smaller businesses and organizations, including cyber threats and Artificial Intelligence (AI). We face a world of unfortunate information quality combined with practically infinite information quantity. Additional risk comes from big business, which has growing advantages of capital and advanced information systems. Automation Consultants has assisted many small and medium-sized businesses and organizations (SMBs: less than $5MM to $500MM annual revenue) by improving their use of information systems. Our intention is to help level the playing field by taking advantage of the adaptability of smaller organizations.
Our aim is to make our clients more effective and efficient, for their own success as well as national security and competitiveness.
As a Microsoft Partner, Automation Consultants has a long tradition of being product agnostic and following a professional code of ethics. Change can be demanding besides taking time and money, so it is important to have a good plan. We can help you evaluate your total business information picture and use information more effectively than your competitors. Here are some important considerations we think every business should address, especially in this new era, as we meet the challenges of international competition.
