In order to function at optimum levels, organizations must implement and maintain management practices and strategic policies that fully utilize existing resources and maximize opportunities to meet or exceed established metrics for success. Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) represent a crucial and often overlooked necessity in strategic planning. Alexius International has experience in fusing existing structures with new ICT functions and offers a wealth of strategic consulting services.
Developing an ICT strategy begins with formulating a solid course of action that takes the interest of the stakeholder community into account. As part of any strategic planning, we seek to build commitment and buy-in between all interested parties who are fundamental to the success of any ICT strategy. We work closely with establishing partnerships with stakeholders from both the public and private sector, building coalitions that actively participate in strategic execution. In addition, we develop institutional mechanisms that serve as a catalyst for the coordination and execution of the strategies, which often results in seeding initiatives that are later fully executed by private, public or civil society sectors.
Working with institutions, particularly from the standpoint of developing a drill-down version of a strategy focused on ICTs, strategic planning is often something completely new for organizations. Our approach focuses on transferring the skill set of strategic planning and project management to the staff in the organization so that it can be applied throughout the institution in other disciplines outside of ICTs. This exercise often positions the ICT staff as the lead planning organization in the institution.
