Emerging from the CoVID19 pandemic presents both peril and opportunity. To navigate both of these passageways 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 pandemic-pocked landscape requires 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). Additional risk comes from big business, which has 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 the CoVID19 era and in future years as we meet the challenges of international competition.
