Diagnostics-a

Diagnostics

Here --> There 

A Diagnostic allows you to take full advantage of our collective experience. We partner with you to assess and diagnose what you are currently most concerned about. We will also identify risks and ameliorations and help you chart a way forward.

 

For example, if:

  • You are about to kick off a large modernization project and you need to know it will be successful.

  • IT, R&D or Operational spend does not seem to be lining up with value.

  • You need a strategic view over a complex set of issues.

  • An IT or R&D project is lagging and you have little or no visibility into it

  • You are faced with an existential need to pivot and you need to know how to line everything up

  • Or any other initiative where a diagnostic would help to strengthen or challenge current assumptions.

 

Depending on the nature of the Diagnostic, we assign the most experienced team members with the right mix of business and domain skills to suit the situation.

 

We work fast to understand the situation from you and your team. We fully immerse ourselves into your business situation, process and strategy, the company values goals and history, and documentation.

 

Once we can concisely communicate a clear understanding of the current state, we apply our wealth of experience and dive in.

 

We examine your initiative through the lens of risk versus value – always tying the value back to your business and the how the business brings value to its customers. This can take on many forms and is, by nature, as varied as the businesses themselves.

 

The outcome is an honest diagnostic of your situation, derived from many years of collective experience that will usually validate some activities and assumptions and challenge others. Any present dangers identified will have suggestions for remediation.

 

Following a Diagnostic, we can continue to partner with you with Leadership, Management or Engineering support at any level required.

 

We’re here for you.

Leadership and Management Support

Partners in Strategy

  • At Quicksilver, we recognize that strong leadership and effective management support are the driving forces behind organizational success in all technology supported businesses. Our Leadership and Management Support Services are not only strategic, but highly tactical. We are here to quickly figure out what needs doing, and then move straight to getting it done.

  • ​

  • In all cases we want to work with our clients to build organizations that are responsive and capable. We are here to help develop deep organizational awareness, get clear and aligned on next steps and then be your partner through to realizing the value.

  • Change can be difficult to manage, especially in fast-paced, high stress situations and environments. We bring a deep set of skills from Leadership and Change Management to Agile Coaching, Technical Architecture and all the way down to Engineering, if required.

  • Because of this ability to move up and down the complexity scale and into the most obscure areas of your business, we are a most capable Leadership Partner.

Agile, Architectural and Engineering Support

Partners in Tactics 

  • And on the ground.

  •  

  • We bring the right people to table to get everything aligned and functioning.  We work with your teams to get the right processes in place and nurture the right skills and behaviors to get things done and delivered.


  • We can work with your existing teams, or we can work with, and prepare you to take advantage of, offshore teams. 


  • In terms of the product and technology side of your business there is nothing too complicated, too scary or too off the rails for us to help. Because we see the business, the people and the processes we can help untangle the technology until it supports and empowers you rather than causing you to conform to it.


  • Let’s get it done.

Mapping, Modelling and Data Analysis

Let's see what we're working with here...

  • Sometimes you need visual / spatial thinkers to help pull things apart and show us what things look like – taking all that complexity and making it consumable and explicable in a way that allows for complex strategic scenarios to be developed and tested before being developed into full-scale initiatives.


  • Other times you need an operational digital twin. A model that covers Sales, Finance, Operations, Customer Success, Engineering, R&D, Forecasted Revenue ... and all other complexities so you can test theories, and see into the future.


  • We use a variety of modelling techniques and tools raging from Wardley Mapping and Service Design to Financial Operational Modelling and Business Process Modelling. We tailor the output to the audience and purpose and apply solid visual communication techniques to produce the output required for the tasks at hand, to the fidelity required to communicate the states and objectives.


  • The results are models and maps that are not only compelling communication devices, but tools that can be used to develop and test strategic initiatives on a large scale – reducing the likelihood of project failure or simply doing the wrong thing to begin with.


  • We know to never underestimate the value of these exercises and the institutional knowledge and wisdom they generate.

Quicksilver was an invaluable partner for our project. When they came on board 8 months into a 12-month project that had seen little progress, they were able to quickly assess the situation and develop a plan to recover it.
 
Quicksilver’s expertise in agile practices was essential in this recovery, as they set up processes that allowed us to seamlessly act on the future state architectures they developed. These architectures put us in a position to outcompete our rivals and achieve our goals.
The ability to recover our project was crucial to our success and Quicksilver played a key role in making that happen.
