Mobile and flexible working
However, it also throws up challenges. Mobile and flexible working can work against common information management standards across the organisation. There are significant security concerns, and the unplanned adoption of particular technology solutions by different departments may represent a step backwards. Success depends on taking a strategic and holistic approach which recognises the organisational, cultural and technical challenges in order to maximise the transformational benefits.
Socitm Consulting can help your organisation implement mobile and flexible working efficiently and successfully. We can advise on new mobile technology use and appropriate suppliers. We can produce business plans, cost /benefit analyses, risk assessments and business continuity plans. We can help to manage the transformation to new management practices and the change of culture required.
How we can help:
- Home, mobile, flexible and smart working strategy development
- Maximising savings on the property portfolio and redesigning working environments
- HR considerations – preparing staff and managers for new ways of working and measuring performance
- Business process improvements with a focus on lean systems approaches
- Redesigning systems – including electronic document and records management and unified communications
- Information management considerations – including data quality, security, business continuity/disaster recovery and information assurance
- Benefits realisation
