Keeping it all in Perspective

Projects and initiatives have the best chance of success when everyone involved understands how the effort fits in with the overall goals of the organization and what impact a successful delivery will have. Teams falter when they don’t all agree on what’s important or when they lose sight of why they’re doing the project in the first place.

To drive teams to this understanding, we use a practical, iterative approach that looks at your effort through four perspectives: Customer, Internal Process, Information / Organizational Capital and Financial Results.

Customer Perspective
Who is our customer? Who is our competition? How do we want to be perceived in the marketplace? What should our customer’s experience feel like to them?

Internal Process Perspective
What do we need to do internally to meet and exceed customer expectations?

Informational and Organizational Capital
Where do we need to learn and grow to support our processes and drive customer value? What technology needs to be in place to support the processes identified? What type of culture do we need to develop to support the organizations push to develop in these areas?

Financial Perspective
What benefits will we see from a successful delivery? How will we measure them?
The answers to these questions will drive priorities and enable project and individual efforts to align with an organization’s critical success factors. By taking the time to examine the problem from these different viewpoints, the team as a whole builds a common understanding of the work that needs to be done.
