ONLY 25% is THE tech
Digital Transformation is Organizational
Coherent Ways CONSULTING HELPS our clients LEARN TO use technology wisely.
Our Healthy Digital Ecosystem model is the basis of our approach to creating and delivering realistic transformation programs and new ways of working. It is a comprehensive approach to managing the constant interplay of Business, Design, Technology, and Skills.
We use mentoring and knowledge transfer to teach our clients how to continuously align business and technology strategy with organizational design and skills. Clients learn to normalize the use of constantly changing technology as a true strategic advantage, and to help people understand how they can use technology to do their work better.
We go beyond just "digital transformation" of the technology stack and get to the real challenge: the digital optimization of the organizational design, workflows, and technology skills need to turn technology into a true strategic advantage.
The work:
Create practical and attainable transformation program roadmaps, business process design, and governance models to guide and manage short- and long-term strategic technology and digital transformation initiatives.
Solve acute and chronic business challenges resulting from technological disruption and opportunities.
Provide completely neutral and unbiased evaluation and selection of technology vendors, inclusive of business platforms and outsourcing firms.
Mentor the whole organization by co-working with everyone in their contexts and with their real-world situations & technologies.
We also offer and source tactical support to activate, accelerate, and complete digital transformation initiatives, including upskill and reskill programs, content development and data migration.

VOLUNTEER FIRE COMPANY
"As a 75 year old Volunteer Fire Company, we have a lot of history and old habits - but in recent years, with fewer volunteers and much more technology needed to run the company, we appreciate how Coherent Ways is respectful of our history and of how many of our members are not "technical" at all. We've been able to streamline and simplify so much of the administrative burden of the company using technology we had all along!
