You

My role involves:

The leadership role may be prestigious and rewarding, but it can also be extremely challenging. At times you may be stretched beyond your capabilities, or beyond the capacity and capability of your supporting resources. You probably know most of the fundamentals of your role, which typically include setting goals, planning, monitoring progress, and evaluating the following aspects of the organisation:

Knowledge and skills are so important to everything that we do.

At times we are all stretched beyond our current capabilities, or beyond the capacity and capability of supporting resources. The solution may be to develop our skills, delegate, or seek assistance.

Do you need to:

• Develop your own skills?
• Develop the skills of your colleagues?
• Provide training services to your clients?
• Develop and implement an effective learning strategy?
• Improve the learning environment within your organisation?
• Make effective use of online technologies and services?

The innovator probably represents one of the most exciting roles, but also one exposed to potential risk.

Although innovation cannot be guaranteed to be effective 100 percent of the time, there are procedures and practices that will help to ensure a higher probability of success, such as:

• Understanding the objectives of the brief and the underlying motivation
• Understanding the context and markets
• Research, science and discovery
• The process of effective creative thinking
• Prototypes -> pilots -> production
• Feasibility studies, risk analysis, tests and evaluations
• Policy, strategy, implementation, operation and maintenance
• Monitoring and evaluation
• etc.

Acro Logic fully understands the generic innovation process and what needs to happen for it to succeed. So whether you are developing a new product, process or service, Acro Logic can help guide you through all key steps of the innovation process, and provide appropriate support along the way.

In business, continued increases in efficiency and effectiveness are necessary for maintaining a competitive advantage. Lose that and you may eventually lose your business!

One of the first steps to improving business processes is to start by identifying each process, and to then monitor, measure and evaluate their performance. Look at the details of each process and compare these against best practice. If it looks as if a process may be improved by following best practice then try it (probably as a pilot initially) and evaluate the outcome of such changes. Sometimes improvements may be possible by collectively making changes across several processes, e.g. the use of an integrated information system, such as a corporate-wide intranet.

Acro Logic has extensive experience and expertise in the development of ICT applications and in the innovation of new ICT products, systems and services. This includes all key aspects of the innovation process, but with a particular focus on the following:
