Executive Assessment

An Executive Assessment is not a technical assessment, but rather a structured analysis that examines your business and locates opportunities. Executive Assessment is a method developed and sold by IBM and its business partners as a consultancy service aimed at improving your business processes and contributing to greater revenue, reduced operating costs or a combination of both.

If you commission work now, you can benefit from 50% off, with the possibility of the remaining 50% money back against further work.

What is involved?

First we sign a bilateral confidentiality agreement. We will look at your business plans and objectives, your existing systems and look at the gaps, and provide an assessment of what e-business or systems investment is likely to give you the best ROI (Return on Investment). That is the most payback in the shortest timeframe.

the first step is typically a 3-4 hour interview based on a structured questionnaire
visit you at your location and discuss what you are experiencing today, where you would like to go and how we may be able to help you get there
start by gathering business plans, financials, sales data, product data, existing market analysis... etc
interview key decision makers in your company we would to ensure we are focused on what is important and establish urgency and priorities
complete a gap analysis identifying the systems that you have and on which we can build, as well as the new systems required
if appropriate we will work with you to identify your competition and analyse their e-business strategy for your comparison (optional)

The complete Executive Assessment process should take approximately 2 - 3 weeks, depending on the complexity of your business.

What do you get?

We will deliver a detailed business case with:

a strategic and tactical plan to help you reach your goals
recommended Solutions for process/software/hardware/services solutions and projected outcomes
ROI analysis (if applicable) including cost benefit analysis
overview of your marketplace and your position (if we do the competitor analysis)

How much does this cost?

The Assessment is a chargeable service that usually costs anywhere from £1,500 to several thousands of pounds.

If you were to do this work using your own people, you would probably spend from three to ten times as much time to gather the same information on your own. That is why we are confident that this is a reasonable amount of money when you consider the deliverables.
