How Technology Enablement Can Enhance Your Operations

by blackwoodimpact

Blackwood Impact Group helps businesses like yours increase profits by examining your business’ operations and identifying opportunities. Your company’s Operations is essentially the inner workings of your business; it’s how you do what you do. The more efficient you are in the course of providing your products and services to your customers, the more profitability you’ll experience.

We use Business Process Improvement (BPI) as a tool for analyzing your operations. With it, we can identify where you can reduce redundancies, improve accuracy and become more efficient and cost-effective in the process of delivering your products and services to your clients.

One of the ways this can be accomplished is by identifying areas of your business that can be automated or can leverage technology to reduce costs and improve the speed and accuracy with which you deliver your final products or services to your clients. This is called Technology Enablement.

What Is Technology Enablement Consulting?

The consultative technology enablement process helps companies explore hardware and software tools designed to optimize their business process, scale operations with consistency while managing risks, expectations, and costs. With the right pieces in place, technology enablement can make introducing new products and services to market faster and more profitable. Our goal as technology enablement consultants is to help all of your business processes flow easier.

We have a surprisingly simple, yet thorough three-step process we conduct to arrive at the optimal tech tools for your business.

  • Step 1: We assess your current technology.
  • Step 2: We create a technology strategy to optimize your goals for growth.
  • Step 3: We help you manage the change with your people and existing systems.

When you work with Blackwood Impact Group as your Technology Enablement consultants, We don’t just drop a change management plan in your inbox for it to sit forgotten and unused. We walk with you through the process and help you chose the right technology for you. Unique to our approach is our concern for ensuring the technology solutions works well with and for your team. Our goal is to make sure your technology compliments your processes seamlessly and helps you achieve your goals. In addition to assisting with implementing your new tools, our team can also assist with training your staff to ensure 100% user adaption.

Is Technology Enablement Consulting Right For You?

Our philosophy at Blackwood Impact Group is that there is always room for improvement in any business, regardless of size or industry. In most situations, leveraging technology is the smartest and most cost-effective way to allow you to scale and grow anything you are doing in your business without sacrificing quality.

Companies facing specific challenges, however, tend to be ideal candidates to experience all the benefits a technology enablement consultation can provide. If you are wondering whether or not technology enablement consulting is right for you, consider your answers to these questions:

  • Are you searching for ways to cut production or costs, and reduce waste?
  • Do you need to develop repeatable processes to create uniformity in your client deliverables?
  • Are costly errors reducing profitability and customer satisfaction?
  • Are you looking for a way to increase revenue without increasing leads or sales?
  • Do you need to optimize your workflow?
  • Are you considering improving on the best selling product or service to generate even more income?
  • Do some of your team members feel overworked because they have too many tasks to perform?

If you’ve answered yes to one or more of these questions, that is a good indication your business can benefit from Technology Enablement consulting. A great way to get started is by downloading our exclusive tool called a Process Improvement Table. It is an Excel spreadsheet designed to help you think through the various stages of your operation and product or service production. This tool is designed to give you visibility into areas where software or hardware tools can make the most significant impact.

Once you’ve downloaded and utilized the tools, we are here to help you interpret the information you are looking at and take the next steps of exploring technology options. Give us a call at 770-502-6295 or email us at info@blackwoodimpactgroup.com for a no-obligation consultation.
