Strategy

Strategy is a living thing: a combination of route map, game plan, and the corporate goals. The hard part is turning vision into reality and using that strategic view to drive the day-to-day operations of the organization. Often successful implementation depends on effective exploitation of tacit resources (knowledge, expertise, even gut feel) that are hard to communicate and encapsulate. Black Dog has unique experience - and proven methods - to support strategy definition and the implementation of information systems and operational methods that drive the organization towards those goals.

As an adjunct in this area we offer a range of services such as scenario planning (including looking at the reality of the "worst possible case") and satisficing (the art of doing "just enough" to move things forward or overcome a blockage without betting the farm).

"When I'm working on a problem I never think about beauty. I only think about how to solve the problem. But when I have finished, if the solution is not beautiful, I know it is wrong"
