We offer consultancy to people and organizations who face challenges in the area of business and IT. We can assist you in several ways.

Innovation

How do I stay on top?

A lot of companies started with innovative ideas, products and services. The average life cycle of a new product or service is about seven years. A lot of companies vanish after about seven years. Coincidence? We think not. When companies become successful, many fail to realize that then the time has come to innovate. If you fail to innovate before the end of the life cycle of the products and/or services you offer, chances are that you will get into trouble. We can help you to innovate on time, and to organize your innovation. With the right organization and mindset, you will be able to create a learning company that will reinvent itself when needed. On time.

Strategy

Where should I focus on tomorrow, next year, in five years?

Together with your company, we can formulate a (IT) strategy, based on your companies vision and mission, qualities and the forces in and outside your company. Whether you prefer the classics or more modern approaches like Blue Ocean strategy and Wikinomics - we can support you in formulating a path for the years to come. We like to work shoulder to shoulder with the people who are required to understand, adopt and control both your strategy and its resulting program. By doing this, we ensure your self support. After all, when we leave it's up to you.

Audits

IT Alignment

Is my IT up to the task?

Misalignment between core business strategy and the targets and expectations set out for IT department(s) is often a persistent cause of problems. We can analyze your IT alignment and deliver you the insights on which basis you can decide how to continue. When you're a start up, we can advise you how to arrange your IT.

Behavioral Audits

Why are my people not responding the way I expect them to? Why am I not on track? How do I get back on track? How can I prevent this in the future?

Valid questions many people face in our challenging, quickly changing and self-reorganizing world. Unacknowledged multiple points of view, mixed interests, diverted interests, insufficient communication, hidden agendas - there is a multitude of possibilities why your processes involving people do not work the way you anticipated the day you started. We can analyze your situation, the reasons you got there, your own contribution in it and advise your how to get back on course - that is, if you still want to continue your heading, knowing what we have learned.

Persistent Problems

No matter how hard I try, things won't change. Why is that? What is happening?

To understand the present, one must know the past. Not by digging for dirt, but by gathering knowledge about important pivoting points. We can analyze your history and the current forces that keeps your problem alive. With this knowledge, you can create working solutions and face your problem for the last time.

Software Selection

What software matches my needs?

Software selection can be a tough process. There are vast arrays of packages to choose from. All those packages have vast arrays of options to offer. When you need software for your business, it is very easy to feel lost without any help. A part of the answer is in the questions you ask yourself. What do I want to achieve? Which options do I absolutely need? Which options can I do without? What options should I avoid? What model should I choose - Open Source or proprietary software? Which company should I contract for support? Where can I get training? Do I even need training?

We can assist you in formulating the right questions. Questions that match your company, vision, strategy, program, challenges and how your company operates. We will use our extensive knowledge to advise you in which criteria to set. Once formulated, we can guide you through the selection and validation process and prevent you from stepping into pitfalls. We are neutral. It doesn't matter to us if you choose package A or package B; what counts for us is your success.

How We Work

No matter the consultancy task at hand, we will operate in full cooperation with you and your company. We consider consultancy to be only effective when you are both able to follow our advise and reach your success following it. Therefore it's of the utmost importance to us that you work with us and allow us to work with your people. This way we can collect the invaluable data and information we will base our insights and advise upon and which will ensure you the recognition of the people who contributed to it.

Of course factors as money and time are as important to us as they are to you. After the initial phase, you will be able to choose whether EduSense does it all, or if you want to execute (parts of) it yourself, to lower your out-of-pocket costs.

You are in control.
