We assist our customers in defining and initiating the implementation of enterprise-transforming programs
According to The Economist Intelligence Unit, companies initiate on average 7 large transformation programs every three years, in response to increasing international and domestic competition and market consolidation. This environment encourages enterprises to adopt transformational programs which impact the organisational structure, with the aim of enhancing operational performance and company growth (mergers and acquisitions, international development, etc.). Such programs can::
- Strongly impact operating results over two years due to:
mergers and acquisitions, outsourcing and off shoring, restructuring, and changes in strategic directions.
- Act progressively:
by optimising the value chain, improving vertical performance, or improving information systems.
Traditionally, our customers emphasize the difficulty of internally managing projects of such proportions: avoiding decreases in operating performance, motivating teams, communicating change, and piloting operations across multiple cultures, languages and management styles.
Soft Computing proposes an approach to managing large programs which allows our customers to design and manage an optimal portfolio of multiple projects, so as to execute strategic actions and deliver desired benefits.
Based upon multiple successes in managing complex programs, Soft Computing assists its clients by providing a "Program Management” methodology designed to:
- Integrate, structure, coordinate, and manage projects within a program
- Manage complexity, homogenise resources, and manage performance
- Provide a reference framework for program governance
- Federate teams and expertise
- Build upon experience and create centres of expertise
Our approach aims to ensure:
- the appropriateness and suitability of different projects and their contribution to the overall business objectives, by aligning each project with company strategy
- coherence between different projects (managing interdependencies between simultaneous and complex programs, scheduling, building shared enterprise data repositories, and clearly articulating business targets and goals)
- the ability of all actors (internal and external) to respond to corresponding changes
- a return on investment of all projects
