For many CIOs and technology leaders the rise of business led, or devolved, technology has been profound. For many, control and governance of technology can flip flop between central or devolved with increasing rapidity. This work looks to stop that effect and find a happy balance of central control and local flexibility. “Practice Management” allows the central technology leader to set standards, build a coalition or community of practitioners in technology and gradually bring standard good practice to technologists across your organisation. This work covers diagnosis of your current situation including a temperature check on relationships across the teams, a heat map on devolved capability and setting up the communities you need, considering the skills and culture the central technology team needs and the processes required to implement good practice.
Why assess?
Finding where there are gaps or where your team are exemplars will also allow you to shape your strategy.
Depending on the number of teams, an assessment of this type including a report will take about 3 weeks from start to finish.
Sometimes a picture paints a thousand words and a heat map of your operation against key service management capabilities can be invaluable. My unique approach to interview and assessment, will help you see where the systematic issues are or where there are relationship or cultural differences. Please do get in touch if you are interested in this assessment.
