Information Management & Technology

Productive interaction between people and information is an organisation’s lifeblood, a vitality that should deliver strategic performance advantage and cost efficiencies.

Nous works with organisations to determine how best to use information and technology to transform business performance and build efficient and effective IT capability to meet future challenges. Nous IMT consultants approach this work with:

• A focus on what matters – meaning the delivered strategy is realistic and invariably implemented by clients

• An inherent understanding of the reality that technology delivers benefits only through people – leading to strategies that encompass the ways that real people and real organisations work.

Nous consultants have held roles as CIOs, business and ICT managers and practitioners. We bring operational business experience, service delivery analysis, policy expertise and a deep understanding of strategy and people’s use of information technology.Nous’ IMT practice provides services in three broad areas:

Strategic direction

Strong business performance requires alignment between an organisation’s business strategy and its technology strategy. We assist our clients with knowledge management, information management and the development of business technology strategies that improve business performance. We work with our clients to develop strategies that manage technology and information assets in a way that delivers business value and encourages information sharing across the organisation. We apply our experience and knowledge of business strategy and people alignment to develop effective IT strategies.

Optimising technology investment

Nous works with CIOs and IT management to optimise and plan information technology investment so the potential value of an investment is maximised. We begin by evaluating IT structures, governance and business processes and then help to define a roadmap that achieves your business objectives. This includes all stages of the investment lifecycle and can include investment options analysis, business process redesign, business case development, mid-project reviews and post-project benefits evaluation.

Developing capability

Effective organisations require capable teams of IT professionals supported by efficient processes. We help organisations reach their potential by designing IT functions, creating efficient, customer focused shared service organisations and developing effective governance frameworks.Nous has a strong track record of delivery in the public and private sectors in all of these areas.
