Strategic Advisory

Strategies Workshop

The workshop objective is to give a perspective of the possible within certain vertical industries such as manufacturing, transportation, automotive, smart buildings, smart cities, utilities, etc. We will review key topics like common use cases, architectures, technologies and deployment models, analyze the market and the main players as well as discussing standardization, risks and security aspects. We will use case studies and real life best practice examples throughout.

Additionally, the workshop provides insights on skills and processes that are relevant when designing and enacting digital transformation. The workshop can be integrated into our Innovation/Ideation Workshop or can be consumed as a standalone event.

Innovation / Ideation Workshop

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.

Business Outcomes Workshop

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.

Strategy and Architecture Consulting

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.

Solution Design

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.
