Designing the digital future
IVI supports enterprises with research and service offerings in designing the digital future and to establish sustainable business ecosystems that are resilient and efficient.
Our core services include:
IVI Capability Improvement Assessments
IVI offers over 40 different types of Assessments for Enterprise-level organizations, all based on the IT-CMF Framework. The Framework has been in use for over 10 years and is backed by over 250,000 man-hours of rigorous academic and commercial research development.
Diagnostic Assessment tools
We understand that our Consulting Partners need tools that are both robust and rapid. The Diagnostic suite provided by IVI to our partners is backed by our proven IT-CMF Framework.
Business Case Development
Client Diagnostic Process
Our assessments are designed to help you uncover your clients’ capability gaps quickly, build a solution tailored to the clients’ needs rapidly and begin a valuable engagement with your customers as soon as possible.
IVI Capability Improvement Assessments
IT Effectiveness
If you’re looking to understand the effectiveness of your IT function, and transform your IT function from a cost centre to a value centre, we can help you with our assessment specifically created to evaluate the IT Effectiveness of your business.
Digital Readiness
What should my organisation be doing to be ready for Digital and where do I focus? Organisations are now looking to IT Leaders to be driving discussions on Digital Transformation.
Our Digital Readiness assessment has been specifically created to quickly help organisations understand their readiness for digital transformation given their current IT infrastructure and technology.
Data Protection Assessment
Since the introduction of the EU’s GDPR legislation in 2018, there has never been a more urgent time to ensure your customer data security, and that your policies around data protection are compliant.
Our Assessment can quickly help your organisation understand current data risks and exposers. Even for companies not operating in the EU, you can use our Assessment to understand your organisation’s Data Protection maturity.
Cloud Adoption
Cloud migration remains a challenge for some organisations. Our Cloud Adoption assessment has been specifically created to rapidly help an organisation understand their ability to adopt and manage a cloud environment. Let us help you understand more about Cloud Adoption.
Cyber Security
What is your organisation’s approach to Cybersecurity? How can you be sure it’s effective? The volume and severity of cyber security attacks continues to increase.
DevOps
DevOps presents a solution to the challenge that organisations face in releasing product updates into complex operating environments without causing service loss or disruption.
This is not a new challenge. However, the need to find solutions to the challenge has intensified as agile development practices and complex scalable infrastructure configurations have come to the fore over the last decade.
Diagnostic Assessment tools
The goal is to help organisations understand where their strengths are, and where their capability gaps are. Using this information our partners can quickly help their clients build remedial plans to uplift capability in the IT organisation, looking for capability trends that tie into the business objectives.
Blurred Lines
The lines between what is business and what is IT have blurred, new methods of procurement have arisen, and it is entirely possible for parts of the business to bypass IT all together.
CIO Leadership
In the midst of this, the CIO must be a people leader, a technology leader, and a business strategist, as well as handling all the complexities of shifting and evolving skill sets.
Strengths vs Gaps
It is little wonder then that our partner’s clients are coming to them asking for help, asking for partners to help them understand their own landscape, where their strengths are, and where their gaps are.
Thorough Sampling
The IT Effectiveness Assessment is designed for just that reason. Unlike our other diagnostic tools, the IT Effectiveness assessment does not limit itself to just one aspect of the IT Department. Instead, it samples every aspect of the IT organisation.
Client Diagnostic Process
Step 1: Online Diagnostic Tool
Upon selecting which diagnostic assessment you wish to use, you can provision your customer with a personalised link to carry out an online assessment.
All our Assessments are hosted on Qualtrics, giving you peace of mind knowing we can scale to large numbers and are hosted on a global secure and whitelisted environment.
Participants will receive a customised and individual link, where they will carry out the assessment.
Each question has been carefully crafted by the research team, and fits into the preceding and following question.
By having their clients complete this assessment, our consulting partners will quickly gain insight into the Capability level.
2. Data Harvesting.
With the assessments complete, you will harvest the data from Qualtrics, which will be automatically populated by our systems into a workbook for you.
This workbook will be a comprehensive mapping of the client’s capability landscape, with detailed analysis, prepopulated graphical resources, the ability to select between IT and Business responses, as well as general comments captured.
3. Interviews.
With the data from our workbooks, consultants can now engage directly with selected response candidates, to uncover additional information, to add context to answers, and to further understand the clients needs.
4. Workshop (optional).
With the interviews and assessment complete, consultants can now bring the key client stakeholders together to discuss the findings in the assessment.
It is important in this stage to identify the key themes within the client that need to be addressed.
It will often be the case that there are multiple capability themes that need to be addressed and it will not be possible to answer them all simultaneously.
The workgroup must decide what are the key themes, how they match up with the business priorities, and where to invest time and effort.
5. Capability Improvement Planning.
With the workshop complete, goals agreed, and buy in from all stakeholders, our consulting partners are now free to build the Capability Improvement plan.
IT-CMF contains within it a series of building blocks that partners can use to quickly build capability improvement plans for their clients, and deliver lasting engagement with the customers that deliver value.
