Organizations face new business challenges every day. Some of these are easy to solve, some are more difficult. Finding a solution for the more difficult business challenges of your organization is the goal of our Crystallizing Methodology.

Our Crystallizing Methodology consists of four phases:

• Understand your existing organization, its business objectives and its business challenges

• Define a solution to solve the business challenges

• Analyze the gap between the existing organization and the solution

• Plan the implementation of the solution

Phase 1 - Understand

The first phase of the Crystallizing Methodology is to understand your existing organization and its business objectives and to validate your business challenges. Is the business challenge helping to accomplish the business objectives? Is the business challenge feasible at this stage? Perhaps other, more suitable, business challenges need to be solved first? Eventually the business challenge that is considered to be most effective and feasible by you, your organization and Crystalloids will set the boundaries of our assignment.

Phase 2 - Define

When the existing organization, its business objectives and business challenges are clear the solution can be defined. When defining the new solution different aspects are considered. We believe that the foundation for a successful solution is based on three dimensions being people, process and technology. Therefore we will define the new processes, the required people to operate these new processes and the required enabling technology. These three dimensions will scope the solution.

Phase 3 - Analyze

On the one hand we understand the existing organization, its business objectives and its business challenges. On the other hand we develop the solution. In this phase we analyze the gap between these two. Performing a gap analysis will learn us the steps to be taken in moving from the current to the desired state. The result of this step is a gap analysis report that lists all gaps in people, process and technology, to be used as input for the implementation plan.

Phase 4 - Plan

In the final phase we will plan the implementation. This implementation plan describes the scope of the implementation, what efforts and resources are required to implement the solution and how the schedule of the implementation looks like.
If required a business case can be added to the plan to demonstrate the expected return on investment of the solution.
