Future State Visioning

Freeborders’ Future State Visioning service helps organizations define a range of desirable IT operating models, for people, process and technology, that organizations can work toward.

This service provides concrete definitions of what could be different in the future for all three areas of the operating model:

  • People – the range of skill-sets that will be needed to support business processes and technology infrastructure and how the relationships should be structured between business and IT staff.
  • Process – the key business processes that will be critical to supporting customers and the mission of the organization.
  • Technology – the technology infrastructure that will be best-suited to supporting mission-critical business processes, delivered in a set of architecture diagrams.

The Freeborders Future State Visioning service promotes unity of purpose and buy-in to the business vision and strategy from the key players who will be responsible to execute the plan. This service educates executives about the range of possibilities that are available for their operating model, given projected business conditions and objectives. This information, therefore, becomes invaluable to the strategic planning process.

Our Approach

  • Confirm business requirements beginning with a current state assessment.
  • Examine all data gathered to that point in the engagement and begin to develop the range of operating models we believe will support the strategic objectives of the business. We compare our proposed operating model with industry trends, practices and benchmarks to project how our client’s environment will compare to other companies.
  • Develop a range of operating models into specific systems with defined parameters for people, process, and technology. We include architecture diagrams for the technology environments and definitions of the human resources necessary to support the technology environment and business processes.
  • Provide our best estimate of the parameters of the operating model our clients should pursue.

Our Deliverables

  • A Microsoft Word document that contains our Discovery, Synthesis, Findings and Recommendations.
  • A PowerPoint presentation document that is used to present the key findings and recommendations of this service.
