Benefits

Business people and technologists can often speak different languages. Sometimes they seem to be communicating, but something is lost in translation. There can be misunderstandings that result in lost time, wasted money and poor quality.

You may well recognise the general perception that IT and the business don’t communicate, or work together, as well as they could.

At Emergent Solutions we set ourselves the goal of creating a process to improve communication, understanding and collaboration.Now we can provide the expertise and resources to improve the individual and group performance of your business and IT people as they go about their daily activities.

Performance

Emergent Solutions is a consulting company working in the area of uncovering and developing excellent performance.

We work with four key dynamics: 

• Individual – making the most of your inner talents to meet your personal objectives.
• Personal – how you interact on a person-to-person basis with key individuals and how you can maximise your relationships.
• Group – how you contribute to team activities and how to become the best team player that you can.
• System – how your performance is boosted, or held back, by the system that you are in and how to work best within your environment.

Change

Change is all around us. With the advent of the internet they say that the pace of change is ever increasing. If we don’t keep up we are lost. Businesses will be wiped out in a flash by the new pretenders.

We believe that change has always been around us. Today’s change is more visible to us right now because it’s thisOne of the things that divides us is not the change itself, but our willingness to embrace it. change that we are living through. Sure, there are change plateaus and mountains to climb but the saying that the only constant in the world…is change… holds true.

At Emergent Solutions we have an approach that looks towards what we are trying to achieve in the face of change and how we can use the energy of change to sweep us along rather than engulf us in a destructive tidal wave.

Teams

They say that a team is more than the sum of the individuals. While this is true for great teams, it’s also true for poorly performing teams. The performance of a poor team can be way below the level of any of the team members.

It’s hard to go very far in today’s world without being in some kind of team, from the officially sanctioned group to the loose collective. Teams are often created from a mix of other teams, groups and individuals that are already available, or those brought in to fill a gap.

As the team forms, a group personality emerges that is independent of the individuals and needs managing separately.

So, what specifically can we do to help bring out the best team persona from the team members?

Individuals

We are in the midst of a working revolution, driven by adding shareholder value and measuring everything against the bottom line. Companies have moved on from the hierarchy of bosses, managers, and workers. Middle management layers have been stripped out and meaner companies fight to be leaner.

We live in companies where the individual is more personally responsible for their own actions and performance than ever before. What has replaced the hierarchy? Flat structures? Matrix management? Multiple reporting lines?

We haven’t yet arrived at our final destination. It will be interesting to see how the changing role of back room support and increasing focus on internal and external customers plays out.

Consulting

Business at internet speed, this is the new economy where companies are born, live and die in a fraction of the company lifespan of fifty, twenty or even ten years ago.

Many companies bring in consultants to fill a variety of needs; an extra pair of hands, a skill unavailable internally, best practice, benchmarking, strategy. It’s all out there, from A to Z.

Our approach is to design our engagements in a more encompassing way, often re-applying techniques that have proven successful other fields.
