Crisis is something that should not be wasted ...

Everyone forgets that crisis is built into the system & that there is no growth without innovation & you have no innovation without a crisis.

Every major IT firm has started as a consulting company & went public when it has started to grow. Fine, but I realised there is no innovation in this. So what would be a innovative way of starting & leading a IT consultancy ....

I guess innovation should be clubbed with traditional way of IT practising. Its often misunderstood that innovation is completely different way of doing things. So things like advising businesses that they are free to make choices about the kind of service they want to take, but also advising repurcussions that may cause, bringing in transperancy into operations will be a start.

Lot of companies follow the principle that if in doubt, do nothing & to continue with the way things are being done. This comes from the fact that any considerable change leads to panic. These issues need to be considered.

The other best thing an IT consultancy can do for a company is Co-creation, that goes a step further by inviting enthusiastic customers to partner in the evolution. Its no doubt a longer process, but definitely a healthy one in both short-term & long-term. In addition to this, if we consider forecasting, the most optimistic & pessismstic views of future for the users, we can lead a project innovatively.

So increasing the ability of a company in being transperant, to point out existing glitches and to lead change without panic for a customer, encouraging co-creation & to take into account the most favourable & adverse situations that can occur is a innovation in itself.

These are my views about how a IT project or an IT consultancy has to be carried out as on 17/08/2010. Will come back to this post if I feel, I was an amateur in writing this stuff or if I feel I have a point. So I leave it to my existing & new projects to teach me ...

God Bless ...
