When we consultants are called in to an organization for the purpose of facilitating change, it soon becomes evident that the person of authority who engaged our skills is wearing rose tinted glasses.

This person of authority may indeed be an internal change agent, one who wants the best for her organization. On a surface assessment of many organizations though, it is clear we have a bigger task of change at hand. Change is a process and not an event, and it is such a shame that business, for the most part, has been conditioned into believing the maxim of change being an event.

How we motivate the whole rather than the part is the crux of our stimulation of change within our client’s environment. Using customized templates that work with your client’s choice of software would be ideal. This enables the user to take ownership of the processes that make up their business system.

The successful use of the tools, methods and mindset of visual mapping is what motivates organizations to get to the core of controlling organizational information economies. This is where we create, manage and exchange processes, and in turn we transform these processes into commodities contain data/information knowledge.

These commodities then become monetized, and the effective value of these monetized processes is what enables our business functions to be in control and continuously improved.

The two main constraints within business systems are; Time management and training. These two issues become major problems if they are not given a monetary value that can be managed within the CME (Create, Manage and Exchange) process.

Software: It really is irrelevant which information software your client chooses to use to facilitate change, as the need for change must first become the drive for improvement. The tool is irrelevant but at the same time it does matter.

This can be reconciled in the fact that we have an overwhelming choice of excellent software products that give us the three main demands of business, in regards to the needs of the information manager. These are: 1) a short learning curve, 2) seamless integration to established software standards and 3) Database qualities associated with information management.

If at all you are having issues with specific software, I suggest you widen your scope of understanding the capabilities of other benchmarks. The software you mentioned is of superior quality and capabilities to all other information management software products currently available.

Web 2.0 capabilities are now becoming a standard addition to most of the main stream software offerings, and I envisage organizations using the web 2.0 functions within their respective intranet setup. The security of information throughout the www aspect of the internet is an issue of contention for some. My view on this issue is one of concern, enough to advise my clients to create administrative restrictions on the saving and sharing of knowledge associated with their respective intranet environments.

Dashboard mapping is another article in the making. The user must first master their choice of software before even considering moving on to the finer and deeper uses of visual mapping to enhance and continuously improve their current and future business success potentials.

Please connect with me privately and I would be pleased to advise you regarding the deeper issues associated with information management security and the choices of software that suits specific environments of use.

I have the same experience. I am working as a senior business consultant and in my humble experience one of the key elements to get this working is the motivation of the client and willingness to really spent time to become a proficient user of a tool that helps visualise the information and processes. I have been working with MindManager which is very sophisticated and now has many functions but also is not that easy to learn and use as it has been. The clients I work with usually don’t think they need a training so in the end I do most of the work and they do not become the owner and some of my projects are not a succesful as others. What do you recommend? Other easier to use software? Another approach?

The idea of a dashboard works great but for teams it must be on-line. Mindjet connect is also not easy to use and many clients do not want their data on external servers. I heard some of the on-line packages can be run on the server of the client. What is your experience?

I appreciate your feedback,

Roger Clemens.
