How it works

ARTek team of very highly skilled individuals will transform an organization to implement strategies with consistent results.

How will they do that?

ARTek Team members are highly experienced in strategy, planning, governance and measurement. Our team members work together well as a team with predefined positions. Our teams are business savvy individuals with a knack to improve people, process and technology.

Why the team?

ARTek teams have successful history of working together. ARTek team members are equipped with a predefined playbook that is adaptable to any organization with need to transform.

I have people who are responsible for what you said ARTek team will do. Why do I need the team?

Most organizations have teams with focus on strategy, planning, governance and measurement. However, it has been difficult to measure success of these teams. Typically these are individual teams isolated and overloaded with work. ARTek team has experience in breaking the barriers and establishing processes across the various organizations to achieve the business goals. Our team members have done this individually and together as a team.

E.g. Your organization may have a process optimization team, a requirements team and an implementation team. Are you satisfied with the outcome across these teams? Are they connected with each other, are they building the correct features, how are they building them? ARTek team members will connect across these silos within boundaries of your processes, organizations and technologies.

I get that, but why ARTek?

ARTtek team has established strategies for very large scale insurance IT organizations and US Department of Defense with millions of dollars at stake. Our team members have organically established strategies, project recommendations and ROI models. More over our team has overseen the execution of these strategies within an organization.Our team members have supported creation of technology road-map and data center consolidation for various agencies within the federal government.

E. g.

1. Identify process issues and establish improvements with a near shore, offshore and on shore model. Establish fixed cost operating models over upcoming years generating >20% ROI every year.

2. Execute on 10 year strategy to transform IT and business in incremental chunks of projects delivering 15% ROI year over year.

Are they consultants?

That is where the ARTek model is different. ARTek does not offer services via traditional consulting model; ARTek team wants to be part of your organization with specific goals and plan to execute on them. This is why we offer our services as a team offering as opposed to an individual-based offering. The team will come in to:

• • perform an assessment,

  • document facts,

  • propose improvements,

  • obtain decisions,

  • empower your execution leaders to implement tactical projects with strategic alignment and

  • continuously improve the road-map based on execution results.

Our teams' experience requires them to be part of the inner fabric of the organization to improve it, to enable it and to make decisions.

How will that work? This process may not continue forever.

ARTek team understands that, and that is why our team will establish transformation program over 18 to 36 months. The duration depends upon the size of the organization, projects, funding and organization dynamics. ARTek team will come in and tailor a short term, mid term and long term plan for what they will achieve for you.

Once a steady state is achieved the ARTek team will transition this to a team within your organization and then move onto a different organization, or strategies here or somewhere else.

Will I afford ARTek?

ARTek teams specialize and focus only on organization transformation services. ARTek team members are not bundled with a consulting package to execute on programs which require a large team of consultants. Our teams are usually small and specifically geared to enable organizations to adopt continuous transformation processes.

Our teams will provide their worth by achieving your business goals with clear definition of success.

What does the team require to implement successful transformations?

ARTek has concluded that the teams require organizational visibility, degree of decisioning authority and clear channels of communications with various partners.

E.g if IT can be more effective only if we change business processes, then they want to sit in between business and IT to achieve desired goals. Improve the process and build an effective IT solution. Our mantra is "Right solution, for right functions at right cost"

What are the typical tasks, timelines and deliverable?

Here is a Gant chart that will provide high-level view into ARTek's implementation case study. At end of every milestone ARTek team is equipped to provide appropriate output to make key decisions on the future course. The process that they implement is iterative and correcting such that ARTek team can adjust to business pressures.
