During this phase, we work as a team with clients, utilizing the contextALM® 360° tool.

contextALM® is a set of maps and guides for navigation to keep the team focused on evaluating the options ahead.
The process step is typically conducted in an interactive setting where the priorities are evaluated and options are visualized. The outputs are charts that provide a common language and integration framework.
Our typical client finds this process very awakening, as it inspires new thoughts and ideas, as well as collaboration across teams including in-house and contracted services.

The contextALM® 360° action plan enables organizations to arrange priorities, plans, tasks, and checklists. The focus is on action and keeping everyone driven toward successful advances while day-to-day business is still ongoing.
The actions identified describe the major steps to be taken to implement the agreed upon strategy and are listed in the order of desired completion. These become milestones in an overall project plan. Each action has an owner and identified resources needed for success. Measurements are defined so that success can be properly assessed.
