In the current economic environment any time spent on improvement programmes or IT management initiatives must yield a rapid return in order for it to be viable. The reality is that many industry standard improvement frameworks assume a fully bought in senior management team with unlimited funds and appetite to invest in improving performance. These luxuries simply do not exist in the majority of organisations.
Equally, many organisations inadvertently increase the cost and reduce the chance of success through re-inventing the wheel or implementing inappropriate heavyweight projects to improve performance. Eventually the right level of approach is achieved but only after an expensive one or two attempts to get things up and running.
What is required by many organisations is access to simple, pragmatic and practical techniques and tools that reduce the cost of an IT improvement programme and accelerate the speed at which value is realised..
To address this need, Applio has taken its 20+ years experience in a wide variety of IT management challnges and developed a series of value accelerators. Value accelerators consist of an integrated set of tools including:
- rapid and effective "do's and don'ts" coaching
- proven basline processes
- rapid tailoring and adoption techniques
- standards, templates, guidelines and tools
- formal and informal capability development assets
along with expert support and advice on how to use these to best effect.
Deployed as part of our consulting engagements, these provide clients with a proven method to reduce costs and reduce the time to ROI in an improvement initiative.
Havng worked in the realities of the commercial world for many years, Applio has great experience in developing compelling business cases to undertake both tactical and strategic IT management programmes including approaches to making improvement initiatives self-funding.

- improve speed to value on their improvement programmes
- significantly reduce costs of making improvements
- avoid costly rework.
