Change The Way You Do Things

New Ground Organisations can find themselves entering new territory; doing things for the first time. Many times there are burnt fingers and painful lessons. Complex IT progrsmmmes are hard; changes in scale, technology, delivey patterns or sourcing models can create nasty surprises for both those who deliver the technology and for those who procure and use it. We can provide support to ease the jounrney across unknown terrain. Our experience helps us to work with organisations to plan routes that avoid risk, to assist them to stay on track, to develop and mentor leadership skills for future endevours and to deal with issues that do develop.

Increased Effectiveness and Efficicency On established ground we can work with you to increaase effctiveness and efficiency. IT programmes are notoriously unpredictable. Effectiveness comes first from predictability and then from refinement; improving the performance of elements whilst the outcome remains predictable. Effiecinecy comes from matching the extent to which predictable effective activities are done to the real needs of the work. We have experience leading complex programmes and of being on the sharp end of bringing solutions together and getting them to work. This experience gives us the broad insight required to guide improvements to disciplines and areas that have the most leverage over performance. Coherently structured activities with discipline in core practices and on interfaces provide the predictability and control that is amenable to continuous improvement. Out experience can help you to achieve these improvements.

Why SQC? - Every situation is different and problems need tailored solutions. That is our ehos; we do not believe in one size fits all methods. Principles are fairly universal but practices and processes must be adapted to the situation in which the principles must be applied. From us you will get solution proposals that are founded on a comprehensive analysis of your situation and of the issues and risks that exist in the situation but one that also reflects the issues and risks in attempting change. Across the industry too many change initiatives have failed because they were inappropriate, too radical or bcause they were not undertaken in an incremental manner. Finally the one thing you can be certain ypu will not get is a recommendation to adopt the latest industry 'silver bullet' trend simply because it is trendy and easy to promote.

Our Thoughts The articles in this collection represent our views and opinions on issues in professional IT delivery. Naturally the bias is towards testing and management; however some articles range further afield. Shaped by our own experiences, both successes and failures, they aim to stimulate thought, debate and maybe change amongst readers. See the examples on the sidebar to the right
