Your client's project scope just shifted unexpectedly. How will you adapt and overcome in IT consulting?
We usually break things down into “3’s”, right? I find the need to establish situational awareness in order to assess how best to move forward. What is the change, who is impacted (positive or negative), and who benefits from moving forward. 1. Client Organization. What changed and why? Have the business priorities shifted? Is an IT project relevant to where they need/want to go? 2. Client. How is my client impacted by this? Does she still have support (leadership and budget)? Is this initiative in her best interest? 3. Project Team. Is this engagement still in our capabilities and interests? Are there offerings that are a better fit to the new direction?

Here's how you can align your IT strategy with overall business goals.
Way too many IT strategy projects and PowerPoint decks on this topic. The primary focus must be measurable top or bottom line impact. No CEO or CFO has the time, inclination, or patience to wait for the return on a IT. IT has to be at the table and always be looking at the speed to impact and engage in business-relevant terms. Too many consultants on utopian architectures, data models, and the art of the possible. I know as a recovering consultant. It simple, focus on the IT components that drive your business.

publication descriptionDeloitte Consulting
In a scenario that could represent a future state of pharma, Deloitte presents a provocative scenario in which prescription drugs from multiple pharmaceutical companies would be detailed by independent representatives.
