It's a bit of a cliché, but "business change" is generally accepted to be a ongoing feature of most organizations today.
Executive teams need to focus on, and distinguish between two distinctive areas of responsibility:
- Firstly, managing the day to day operations of the organization, often referred to as "business as usual" ; be it utilities, manufacturing, distribution or providing a service to existing customers
- Secondly, the Board needs to work strategically, determining what the organization must look like in the future and how it must operate in order to survive and thrive. The successful initiation, execution and completion of change programs and projects are central to achieving the "target operating model"
It is in this second domain, namely "program management" consulting, that an external consultant adds significant value to client outcomes. It is often assumed that managers and staff have basic and adequate project management skills and experience. And, with that experience, will be capable of planning and managing complex change initiatives on top of what is required of them to achieve existing goals to keep business as usual. In fact, this working assumption by many executives results in a significant amount of wasted resources and extensive disruption to core operations.
Program, Project and Operations managers are specialist disciplines that require a "get it done" type of individual ... a person who is capable of meeting the rigors of deadlines, the skills and methodologies required to plan and execute change initiatives with a high probability of successful outcomes such as is required with "Smart Grid" technologies.
