The below process shows Black Penny’s approach to delivering our services. As with any engagement, knowledge is power, and so integral to our success is the ability to extract, analyse and share that information. It can be easy to get distracted by the excitement that these engagements bring, but by following this tried and tested methodology we are confident that together we can deliver real tangible value to your organisation.
Business & Customers
A business is nothing without its customers. Arguably this is the most important phase of the engagement. This is where Black Penny begin to build the picture of why you are in business, what value you deliver to your customers and most importantly how is this going to change. Once this is understood it underpins how we advise the way technology can facilitate your organisational ambitions.
Departmental Strategy
When Black Penny understand why you are in business and where your journey is heading the focus is then on verifying this through business divisions and departments. Alignment to a common strategic direction allows a business to attribute tangible value directly to the component parts of the organisation, such as IT.
