The pace of change in the technology industry continues to accelerate as the competitive global playing field becomes increasingly overcrowded. Software and technology companies are under pressure to innovate and introduce new products or services that create value for their customers and win in their respective marketplace. Lotis Blue helps you manage your business across its dynamic market lifecycle, defining your business strategy, designing your organization for flawless execution, and aligning your talent to effectively and efficiently outperform the competition.
We’ve partnered with leading organizations in software and technology, including:
Strategic Alignment in Software & Technology
Software and technology companies in high-growth or mature phases must maintain strong linkages between their overarching strategy, organization design, and talent. Misalignment leads to product release delays, quality issues, customer dissatisfaction, and erosion of innovation and competitiveness. The keys to success include:
A Compelling Business Strategy Roadmap
Clarifying strategic intent in a software or technology organization begins with a well-defined roadmap that guides organizations toward its objectives. At Lotis Blue, we craft a comprehensive strategy map that prioritizes critical capabilities, sources of competitiveness, business priorities, resource allocation, and talent needs.
Organization Design that Fosters Distributed Accountability
Technology organizations are often complex, with less-than-optimal command-and-control or top-down decision making models. We work with clients to establish clear accountabilities, metrics, and decision-making processes at all levels. By emphasizing delegated and shared responsibility and aligning goals with strategic initiatives, we cultivate a culture of ownership and commitment.
Agile Talent Management
In software and technology companies, highly specialized talent is often essential. We help clients identify their workforce needs through disciplined planning that identifies the number, type, and quality of resources needed to execute strategy. We then build the talent ecosystem and infrastructure to ensure efficient acquisition, development, deployment, and retention of people.
The combination of a compelling strategy roadmap, an appropriate organization design, and the right talent helps our technology and software clients stay ahead of the competition and remain agile in adapting to new opportunities and market disruptors.
Identifying Opportunities to Improve Alignment and Results
Operational inefficiencies and execution challenges are common hurdles for technology companies. In an industry where speed and agility are paramount, any inefficiency can be costly. Whether it’s outdated processes, siloed departments or development teams, or bottlenecks in workflows, these issues inhibit progress and reduce a company’s ability to respond to market changes.
Lotis Blue helps diagnose and address the factors that hinder operational excellence with:
Operating Model Diagnostic
We start by establishing a fact base through a review of strategic documents, interviewing stakeholders, and analyzing the leadership culture. This phase culminates in developing a set of operating model design options, reviewed and approved by executive leaders.
Operating Model Design
Leveraging insights from our diagnostic phase, we work with the leadership team to develop a detailed design roadmap. This includes prioritizing and sequencing changes such as decision rights, governance, leadership structures, and workforce composition. A clear implementation strategy is outlined to ensure that the new operating model is seamlessly integrated and aligned with long-term goals.
Embedding Lasting Transformation
Change is a constant in the technology sector, but successfully managing change is often easier said than done. Whether it’s adopting new technologies, restructuring teams, or shifting business models, change management requires careful planning and execution.
The human element is particularly crucial, as resistance to change can derail even the most well-intentioned initiatives. At Lotis Blue, we incorporate behavioral science to understand and address the psychological and cultural factors that influence how change is received and implemented.
We work with our clients to develop change management strategies that are not only effective but also empathetic to the needs and concerns of their people. By fostering a culture of openness and adaptability, we help companies navigate change with minimal disruption and maximum impact.
