Defining an Organization’s Problems: A Series to Help Solve Them
Posted on Wed, Jul 06, 2011
By ASG's Professional Services Group
Your organization is changing quickly. You have problems. Some of them seem small, while some of them seem quite large. Politics, budget, management, wrong people, technology, processes, metrics and ROI questions are crouching at your door. You have a choice as a manager: ‘Do I engage in these issues and, while painful, attempt to fix them, or do I simply turn my head and pretend they don’t exist?’
The next seven weeks are all about the problems you are facing and how you can overcome these problems with a little bit of wisdom, some collaboration and some of the best subject matter experts (SMEs) the industry has to offer. They have seen the problems and they have dealt with the organizational issues that are picking your group apart. And, surprisingly, they don’t have all the answers either. What they do have is situational awareness and experience of working through a process to get to the answers. As well, they have the stories to back them up. Stick with us as we interview these professionals, seek their counsel, and provide you some ideas that may impact change within your own organization.
Over the next seven weeks, we hope to share knowledge and ideas with our ecosystem to not only address these problems, but to help organizations take the steps to solve them. Our series starts with ‘The Business Problem’ and will proceed along the following schedule:
1. The Business Problem
2. The People Problem
3. The Process Problem
4. The Tool Problem
5. The Implementation Problem
6. The Metric Problem
7. The ROI Problem
You can help us to begin to share our tribal problems, concerns and wisdom as well by contacting myself or our editor/publisher: Jennifer Perez.
We look forward to reaching out and speaking or hearing from each one of you!
