Requirements Gathering & Vendor Selection
Most clients find that during their selection process the differences between products starts to blur. When that happens the decision process tends to elongate and the probability that the selection is based on the vendor with the best sales person or slickest demo increases. Pervasive Performance Group assists clients in determining their most important requirements and ensures that the sales process is controlled by the client rather than the vendor. By guiding the client through the process and providing tools developed and honed over many years of experience Pervasive Performance Group can shorten your selection process and ensure that the selected solution meets your specific needs.
Workshops
On-site workshops designed to help IT and business leaders work together to develop a roadmap to a pervasive performance environment. Workshop includes: taking advantage of existing technology investments; uncovering hidden costs of the current state; defining the business value of expanding deeper into and wider across the enterprise; determining quick win opportunities; defining cross-functional accountability and collaboration; overcoming cultural challenges; and maintaining momentum through obstacles.
Client Off-Site Meetings
Many clients find significant value in having thought-leaders participate in company off-site meetings. Pervasive Performance Group works with the client sponsor to develop and present thought provoking topics targeted specifically at the participants. This configuration of the topic to the audience allows a direct dialog between your team and an industry thought leader about issues that are impacting your business. This stimulates interest, discussion, and debate that are not available at a typical vendor or industry conference. It is a great way to get the creative juices flowing and lay the groundwork for an interactive and productive offside meeting.
Performance Checkpoints
Most clients will engage a professional services firm to manage their performance management initiatives and implementation. Pervasive Performance Group does not compete with these service providers; rather we supplement these services with check point reviews and advice. The checkpoint review is designed to periodically inject impartial third-party expertise, perspective, and strategic advice in a non-invasive manner without jeopardizing the project team’s or service provider’s authority or credibility. This service provides valuable advice on the current stages of the initiative as well as maintaining momentum towards the performance management strategic vision.
