Solution Focused Consulting
Aptera’s consulting stands apart from similar services provided by other technology companies because we go out of our way to avoid technology. When it comes to discovering the root of inefficiencies and devising a plan that will truly improve your organization, our first concern isn't figuring out what tools we might use. Why talk tools before we even know what we’re going to build and why?
Our Agile Alignment philosophy means that our highest priority is defining success and sharing a vision for that success. This applies to our consulting just like any other service we provide. Our first goal is to provide a roadmap toward addressing some or all of the challenges you face.
Outsider Perspective / Insider Understanding
We want to give you an outsider perspective, but not until we have insider understanding. Our consultants start by listening; we learn about your processes to find out where there's room for improvement. We sit down with the people who have an immediate stake in solving the challenges facing your business. Then, once we truly understand your organization and its challenges, we can begin to talk in general terms about the types of solutions that will benefit you the most.
Far too often, technology companies approach an organization with a technology focus. This can lead to hasty recommendations based on an incomplete or inaccurate understanding of your industry, your customers, or your business. Aptera starts with a different tactic, with a focus on your existing workflow. We meet with people all across your organization, not just leadership or tech personnel.
You might be surprised what ideas emerge when people from different departments start to share their concerns and view solutions as a common interest, not just an IT issue. You might also be surprised at the increased buy-in when solutions are put in place and users feel like they were heard.
Our goal is to provide recommendations and a timeline that set you on the path to efficiency. Our recommendations might involve technology, and they might not. After all, we might run into concerns that need to be resolved to clear the way for change and leave people open to a new practices. This is where the increased buy-in really starts to pay off. It's the product of users feeling genuinely heard. When they see their concerns voiced and placed right alongside a discussion of improved process, they are happy to embrace new solutions.
When you choose Aptera, you know you've chosen someone who will take the time to get to know you, to map out your processes, and to provide consulting grounded in a true understanding of your organization and your people. Aptera has served businesses and organizations across many industries, but we don’t presume to understand yours. Our roadmap for making a difference in your process will be custom-tailored to you, not focused on a specific tool or a watered-down industry standard. And it’s all because we collaborate with you to develop solutions.
