Our Approach
Kickoff & Communications
SCT initiates projects by level setting stakeholders and team members on overall program strategies and crucial success factors for the implementation. Reviewing 360 degree perspectives of the effort across workstreams and critical inter-dependencies drives communication and collaboration, and establishes a sense of team-building to ensure shared objectives in terms of schedule and results that can be tracked to and remedied should challenges arise.
Best Practice Design & Scope Calibration
Throughout the design phase, our subject matter experts participate in design sessions across operations, functionality, and technology. Special considerations to best practice ensure that current state processes are not simply replaced, but where possible, new thought and improvements are infused into the future state design.
Change Management Workstream Facilitation
In addition to process design, SCT pays special attention to program methodologies across testing, training, and cutover planning. Best practices in implementation extends well beyond a good design and well implemented system, and SCT acts as a coach and collaborator to ensure valuable work products are delivered in accordance with best in class change management practices.
Milestone Quality Audits
As key project milestones approach and are achieved, SCT facilitates individual conversations with each workstream owner to level set on progress, ensure appropriate quality of deliverables, and that plans for the upcoming phases are well thought through – including template preparations for key deliverables and adequate staffing requirements identified for the use cases and scenarios to be implemented.
Roadmap Maintenance
As important as the quality of what is being implemented, consideration on what is being deferred is equally important to long term program success. SCT is a strong believer in not allowing perfection to be the enemy of progress, but also encourages a continuous improvement mentality. As such, our SMEs bring a longer-term vision for what is possible and ensure that roadmap opportunities are documented and prioritized in an appropriate sequence to deliver maximum value and eliminate short term decision making with negative long term impacts.
