Planning
Foundation for Consensus
Could your organization use some help gaining clarity on the benefits, risks, and financial impact of a technology purchase and implementation?
We create realistic plans to identify quick wins, build confidence, and reduce risk along your entire journey.
We strategically align your organization’s diverse goals, expectations, and requirements to help you make smarter buying decisions, deploy more effectively, and build a healthy long-term partnership with your chosen vendor.
We identify points of friction in the way of progress and deliver answers or outline next steps to calm fears, unknowns, and organizational pressure so you keep moving forward.

Selection
Evaluate and Negotiate
We help you validate vendor expectations and commitments by focusing on the relevant issues that could impact your critical priorities. The difference between ‘missed’ and ‘exceeded’ expectations often lies in validating verbal commitments and finding the vendor who can deliver the implementation and support your need for a new operating model.
Maximize your leverage and influence as the buyer by knowing exactly what you need and why those needs are critical to the project’s success. Then expound on those expectations beyond the vendor sales reps to minimize the risk of missed expectations after you sign the contract.
