The focus shift: A guide to five key business outcomes
How is that five-year playbook you drew up 3 years ago looking today? Chances are that your projections for facilities, IT, staffing, and supply chain all turned upside down. The reality is that you need a whole new kind of blueprint today—not one that attempts to dictate a fixed future but rather one that prepares your business to thrive in this era of uncertainty. Here are the five ways to help you prepare for whatever is thrown your way while still meeting your desired business outcomes.
Workforce Experience
The whole purpose of gathering people in offices is so they can connect and interact; replicating this can be challenging when your workforce is distributed across multiple locations. Connectedness is about more than ongoing operations; it’s also about getting and keeping the best people.
IT Optimization
If the old style of blueprint was dogmatic, with a top-down structure offering little room to manoeuver, the new style of blueprint must embrace change and put people at the center. Give your staff the equipment they need to let them use the tools they’re already comfortable with, whether that’s a laptop, a tablet, or workstation.
Manageability
Nothing is more important than making sure that business can keep going whatever challenges arise. Today, enterprise IT’s mission has emerged not just as a vendor of services to internal corporate clients but as a full strategic partner in keeping the business running no matter where workers or customers may be.
Security Fortification
Whatever your security blueprint is, ensure it acknowledges the very real threats that are already occurring and likely to become more intense. That means having endpoints with built-in protection against the biggest threats and ensuring you have a mechanism to keep those endpoints up to date wherever they may be.
Sustainable Impact
Ensuring that technology is used in a way that aligns with your Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) goals is crucial for protecting the planet and creating sustainable working practices. By actively seeking out solutions that reduce your carbon footprint and promote environmentally responsible practices, organizations can make a positive impact on the world.
