Phases of our collaborationPhase 1: We get the big picture.
We start with a pre-study of the situation, where we discuss your business, your problem, your competitors and other essential issues. It usually takes 2 or 3 meetings, where we get a clear idea of what the project would be. Phase 2: We define the project and initiate We specify our project and set goals, requirements, tasks, deliverables, time and money. We come to an agreement and proceed to the next steps. Phase 3: We analyse the situation in depth We dig deeper, to clarify where we are and where we are heading to. We conduct our study using in-depth interviews, marketing tools, intelligence from the field, hard data and ERP/CRM reports. Phase 4: We propose specific solutions and you decide Based on the findings of the previous phase, we plan strategy and practises to achieve the goals we have set. We present budgeted alternatives, discuss, evaluate, modify and finetune according to your decisions. Phase 5: We implement Puting plan into action day-by-day. We can be there, or curate your internal employees. Take your pick. Implementation is of the same importance as planning. |
