Can you share a picture of your business?
Business understands that change happens and continually strives to adapt as a matter of survival. Today’s challenge is to embrace a myriad of technologies including a mobile-connected customer base. Managing technology is no longer an option and the business has turned to outsourced key resources to secure technical talent and save costs. The need exists to share a common understanding of the enterprise and to communicate the supporting technology with these new team members.
Since the 1800’s corporations around the world have standardized on a single framework to visually represent their business – the Organization Chart. While the model does a good job of depicting functional areas of responsibility some very important entities are missing – specifically the customer, suppliers, and partners. Furthermore the relationship of the business processes, and supporting technology is nonexistent. The time has arrived for a new model. Introducing – the Business Portrait.
Explore what is possible when you can share a portrait of the business to clearly:
- Visualize
- Organize
- Transform
