Business and IT Strategy

Business and IT Strategy

Helping our clients define a better future

Strategy is an art. We work side by side with our clients’ senior management to help stretch and sharpen their ambition – grounded firmly in the realities of the marketplace, the capabilities of their organization and the goals of their stakeholders. Strategy stands or falls on execution – and we are known for delivering ‘executable strategy'.

We are fast building a reputation in the marketplace for offering unparalleled knowledge and expertise to address our clients’ strategic challenges whilst helping them take the practical steps to execute their strategies effectively.

Our strategy experts bring tried and tested processes and methodologies, significant experience and complete impartiality to help you tailor your strategy to your unique business requirements. In-depth market understanding enables our clients to accurately predict the impact of business, commercial and technological change on an organisation.

The Pyradigm strategy team advises across the entire programme of Business transformation including strategic direction and planning, portfolio management, business case definition and benefits identification, IT organisation and effectiveness and enterprise systems strategy.

Pyradigm's strategic services offer business leaders independent strategic advice based on practical real experience.

The range of challenges we help our clients tackle is diverse, but our client engagements have some common characteristics. For example:

We help clients clarify the nature of the opportunity or problem, frequently assisting in providing ‘structure to the unstructured’
We support clients in making the right strategic choices about those problems
Crucially, we work with clients to develop executable solutions to those problems.

Business Case Development

When a change in direction is needed, you need the best information possible to gain buy-in from those in charge. Pyradigm’s senior business consultants can help you develop a structured evidence-based business case that provides organizational decision makers with the information required for proper evaluation. We will conduct a risk/benefits analysis, evaluate the market in which your business operates, assess operational needs and requirements, create financial projections including Return On Investment (ROI) and Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) analyses, and recommend next steps, providing a roadmap for future activities and success.

Cross-practice Collaboration

Change Management

Project Management

It goes without saying that Change Management goes hand-in-hand with Project Management. Although Pyradigm usually develop a Change Management plan which is separate from a Project Management plan, more often than not, Change Management activities are executed as part of the Project plan. It is imperative that Change Management initiatives are begun from the start of a project and the Pyradigm emphasis always for the Project Manager and the Change manager to work very closely together.

Business Analysis

The Business Strategy practise works hand-in-hand with our Business Analysis practise, which can support our Senior Business Strategists by carrying out analysis in key areas such as:

Strategic planning — the analysis of the organization's strategic business needs identification
Operating and business model analysis — defining and analyzing the organization's policies and market business approaches. Building business models that fit with your organisation both now and for the future
