The progressive over-all DKB Solutions methodology for projects
The “bit-by-bit”-dubbed methodology
|
|
| |
1. |
Always envision a "comprehensive project" within the space and a time frame |
| |
Why just implementing just a software solution meant to run aimlessly to no avail ?
Why just buy scanners to just digitize documents with no real sensible final purpose ?
Why not instead implement a software solution aimed at managing a document repository to be built from digitized and captured documents ? |
| |
2. |
Carefully define the project within the space |
| |
Question N°1 : "Where to begin from ?" |
| |
A suggested answer : "From the entity, within the whole company, managing the most information” |
| |
Question 2: "What to begin with ?" |
| |
A suggested answer : "With the most strategic information" |
| |
From deductive reasoning : "Begin with the entity managing the most strategic information" |
| 3. |
Carefully define the project within a set time frame |
| |
|
Rationale : Experience showed that a too big project turns out to be too costly.
Therefore, the company internal as well as external financial decision makers "kill" the project and the underlying concept.
|

4. |
The DKB Solutions “bit-by-bit”-dubbed methodology |
| |
|
Begin with a first “bit”, your choice being guided by the above reasoning.
After implementing the solution, rake in what from the savings garnered from the Return on Investment
With the savings raked in, begin a “second bit” and so on |
| |
| |
|
After the establishment of the solution, to appreciate the economies in connection with the Return on Investment |
| |
| |
|
With the garnered economies, to begin “a second small end” |
| |
5. |
Any project is a project of company |
| |
|
The project, as advised by DKB Solutions, must be under the aegis of Top management, but is open to all employees, whosoever, and their input.
A communication and awareness-building campaign, throughout the project and constantly aiming the company as a whole, is unfolded with the aim of making the people know about the solution, its rationale, and above all to convince them to use the new tool. The campaign purpose should also envision change : changing and eradicating the “die-hard” old habits
