“One hand can’t clap.” It’s not about having technologically advanced team members, it’s about technologically enabled teams.
Team Technology Enablement
PSK Consulting Team Technology Enablement is a multiple steps process to identify, utilize, and enhance team members’ technological capabilities.
First, team members are interviewed to identify existing capacities, interests, and comfort zones. Then, an overall Team Technology Enablement plan with multiple options is suggested to the management.
Personalized training on conventional and advanced tools are delivered to each team member according to the option selected by the management. PSK Consulting designs client specific training around existing technological challenges of the team while providing guidance on publicly available triaging materials.
Process Improvement and Automation
PSK Consulting reviews the current state of business processes and suggests appropriate technological improvements and automations. The goal is to review and understand the existing procedures in order to improve the holistic process as appropriate rather than patching a partial procedure during extraction, transformation, and/or generation of data/information.
PSK Consulting prepares a managerial report of procedures in which technological improvements and/or automation can be applied to help management choose specific desired process improvement and/or automation. PSK Consulting designs the project roadmap according to the management’s decision of desired changes and builds or helps to build (management’s decision) the automation.
