This man is tearing his hair out because he can't meet his deadlines. The Managing Director is breathing down his neck. There is too much work and his department can't cope. There is too much duplication. Too many manual stages in the work his people do. And far too many printouts in this day and age. His staff are struggling to keep ahead of things. And they tell him he is over-staffed!
Just Think
Imagine it's 1066 AD. Imagine if just one of King Harold's men had an M240 machine gun and knew how to use it! What difference would it have made to the outcome?
Today we have more power on our desktops than the Apollo lunar missions of 35 years ago. Yet, every day, we muddle through most of our information work ... manually. Even when we think we are putting the technology to its intended use actually we are not. We do exporting, importing, cutting, pasting, emailing reports and schedules, when the technology (we already have) can do all this for us - faster, more accurately, even when we're not there. We repeat our inefficiencies daily. We involve many more people in a process than we need to. Most managers who have been through a recent ERP implementation feel that their departments now do more manual work than they ever used to do before! A client of ours observed eloquently 'we have been sent back to the dark ages. Our staff are now fighting with bows and arrows'.
Think about this. Isn't it theoretically possible that King Harold's soldiers could have had the advantage of firearms in 1066 AD? How? Gunpowder had already been invented by the Chinese hundreds of years earlier in the 8th century, and we have had the blow pipe since the stone age. What would have helped Harold is someone - a catalyst - who had brought this existing know-how together and had already done some research and development around it. What if such a person knocked on King Harold's door and demonstrated this clever stuff?
That's what we do.
We are such a person. Information working need not be a battle, but often it seems like one! The good news is, the clever stuff, tools and the technologies we need, already exist in most organisations today. All we have to do is 'to put the pieces together'. We want to show you that it is surprisingly easy. We want to show you that the complexity in your accounting and information processes can be simplified and how. We want to show you how the 10 Most Common Pains in Finance Departments can be eliminated with things you already have.
