Our Approach
When you engage with Cogentes, you gain our knowledge and experience as well as a refreshingly pragmatic approach to rapidly transforming strategic plans into reality.
As you can see from the Business Strategy Realization TM cycle illustrated here, an initially developed business strategy must move through several activity phases before it is transformed into concrete results. Over time, based on analysis of those results, the strategy is revised and the cycle begins again.
Most strategy development methodologies rightly focus on initial strategic planning and the analysis / review of results as input into a new strategic planning cycle. The activities that enable successful achievement of strategic results are rarely emphasized, creating a significant gap between strategic planning and measureable results.
Cogentes bridges that gap through the application of proven architecture, resource allocation, and implementation practices that are goal-driven. Our approach ensures that the processes, resources, and technologies leveraged to realize your strategy are directly traceable back to the goals defined in your business strategy.
Our coordinated services offerings comprise a broad spectrum of practices that we customize for your business to maximize your momentum and optimize your operational capabilities. This is depicted in the diagram below by displaying a lifeline for each set of service offerings along the Business Strategy Realization cycle. The thickness of each lifeline as it moves along the cycle expresses its focus relative to the others.
Our Enterprise Architecture Services offerings begin during the final stages of business strategy development by identifying architectural quality attributes associated with strategic business goals, and progresses into multiple activities focused on building an architectural foundation for execution of the strategy. This foundation is then used to develop a strategic roadmap that defines people, process, and technology tasks to implement the strategy.
To facilitate end-to-end strategy realization, we also offer a complete range of CIO Services through which we provide professional executive guidance and services both to organizations that have a CIO and need additional expertise as well as to organizations who need this role in residence, long-term or shorter-term. Throughout business strategy realization, these services help ensure optimization in all areas of information technology assessment, management and organizational compliance.
Our Infrastructure Architecture Services target completion of strategic realization through readiness assessments, business continuity planning, and high-availability architecture implementation as well as design and fulfillment of critical infrastructure systems such as messaging and directory services.
The completeness of our offerings enables us to tailor our activities to meet the very specific needs of your business, from initial planning through implementation, ensuring successful realization of both long- and short-term strategic initiatives. We work with you to align your organization, processes, and technologies to drive the breakthrough momentum you need to achieve success.
