A 3- Dimensional View

An Offer You Can't Refuse!

The health of an oganization is hard to measure. Executives can sense when something is not right, but it is sometimes hard to point to the problem. Often organizational health problems are defined in business-centric or technology-centric views. Consequently, almost all efforts focus on one of these two dimensions of the organization. Business modeling is done, with some processes changed, or new technology is explored and new systems are acquired. However, these approaches are missing an important dimension, the dimension of the organization. It is the organizational dimension that provides the context for business operations and technology, without it, business processes and systems can become mis-aligned, creating problems that are hard to isolate and remedy.

I would suggest a 3-Dimensional approach to assess organizations. By incorporating the business operations and technology support with overall organizational information, a unified view of problems can be provided. This unified look at an organization, business operations and technology provides solutions that transcend limited approaches that only re-engineer business processes or add yet another system to your technology infrastructure.
