Strategic Engagement

Our Strategic Engagement service is a valuable step to coordinating and synchronizing efforts to identify and reduce conflict thus risk, to effectively plan the logical approach for dependent programs / activities, to maximise return on investments and start to see those benefits sooner rather than later, and to ensure people are not over utilized thus promoting and securing positive mental health.

Many companies have multiple projects and programs occurring across their ecosystem which usually involve a dependency overlap for specific key individuals such as superusers, IT, product owners, regional testers and trainers, business partners, it business partners, support teams, release managers, PMO, legal, 3rd parties and external vendors, etc. Our Strategic Engagement plan comes in two offerings, Advisory and Tactical.
