Strategic Advisory

The objective of this workshop is to level-set the joint understanding of a group of executives in preparation of follow-up event like our Innovation/Ideation Workshop or Business Outcomes Workshop. This may include clarification of terms, common understanding of challenges and insights into what is doable. Such workshops usually also include suggestions about skills and processes relevant for a certain technology or solution area.

We currently offer the following workshops:

• Digital Transformation Strategies (per vertical / industry)
• Cyber Security Strategies 
• Collaboration Strategies 
• Cloud Strategies 

We recommend conducting an Innovation/Ideation workshop to develop an architectural and technical strategy aligned with the requirements of your business. In this, we invite tech and business leaders to meet and discuss outcomes, identify challenges, outline opportunities, and share ideas.

Our workshops are usually a day long. Our facilitators will lead the discussion, using group discussions, individual work, team activities, conversation mapping, visual modeling, and group presentations to maximise benefits for all. All activities are designed to generate new ideas as well as to identify those with the highest impact. When the day is done, we will complete post-processing activities to document all data and visual artifacts generated, summarize all generated ideas and recommend next steps.

While an Innovation / Ideation Workshop delivers insights, this workshop delivers proposed architectures and solutions aligned with previously identified ideas and desired business outcomes. By employing a business canvas model approach, this workshop allows Fast Lane to model use cases based on your specific business needs and to create rapid prototyping proposal for one or more solutions meeting your requirements. The workshop will identify your current pain points, deliver a customized roadmap with concrete next steps and a detailed outline of resources needed to build your digital business architecture. The workshop also supports the creation of a business case, ROI and value analysis of the proposed solutions.

Every project starts with an accurate assessment of the current situation. This is the baseline for every business outcomes conversation and subsequent solutions design. We recommend performing such an assessment before investing into a business outcomes workshop involving all key stakeholders of the company.

This service can be part of a Business Outcomes Workshop or consumed as a standalone consulting service. We build on the outcome of one or more innovation workshops to work with your teams to develop your strategy with regards to technologies, architectures and solutions. This includes a review of your existing approach as well as the development of a comprehensive architecture for your entire organization. In addition, we will determine the value of integrating legacy assets, identify potential issues and suggest the best approach to minimize risk. 

This service provides the conceptual design of one or more proposed solutions outlining estimated costs, benefits and risks. Once the preferred solution has been selected, we will provide a detailed design including implementation and migration scenarios.  

Today’s solutions tend not to be monolithic. If you are a vendor, a distributor, a system integrator or a service provider you will in all likelihood have to choose to focus on a number of verticals and solution sets. We are here to support you during that phase by working with you to determine your focus areas as well as the ecosystem of partners required to come up with corresponding solutions.
