This is a summary of the items that we must do to Create A Sure BET:

In order to create success when business and technology sectors are working together, there are some things you must do:
  • Develop your business and technology professionals. Make them Business Enterprise Thinkers through training and coaching in business leadership, acumen, decision making, and command skills. Make sure they know the strategic objectives of the organization.
  • Ensure that the right people—those who understand the key impact zones of the organization and can provide guidance and advice—are at the table. Align business vision, mission and objectives with the organization, teams and individuals. Communicate.
  • Develop a clear understanding of the business problem, define key objectives, brainstorm challenges, outline the solution domain. Create a clear pre-project scope including the risks, financial impact and benefits. Then make a decision, one that moves the organization forward.
  • Establish effective organizational change and transition practices with embedded continuous improvement strategies. Build Business Enterprise Thinking skills and share knowledge between the departments and the various resources.

In the final analysis, it is all about alignment, business practice, and transformation. In our world where organization’s objectives are rapidly changing due to global issues, developing Business Enterprise Thinkers from the working ranks of the business and technical professional will have positive impact on your organization overall.
