Governance Assessment and Management

Data Governance is a framework that helps organizations manage their data more effectively. It involves the processes, policies, and people necessary to ensure that data is well-managed and meets the needs of the business.  

Benefits of Data governance: 

  • Improving data quality: Data Governance can help organizations improve the quality of their data by ensuring that it is accurate and consistent.  

  • Reducing costs: A well-designed Data Governance framework can help organizations save money by reducing duplicate data and improving efficiencies.  

  • Improving decision-making: By having better quality data, organizations can make more informed decisions that are aligned with their business goals.  

  • Complying with regulations: AData Governance framework can help organizations comply with regulations such as Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).  

Here at Blue Rock, we understand that there is no one size fit all framework, so we take our time and work closely work with our partners to help develop a framework that’s right for them.

Organizational Change Management

Change management is the most important part of project success.    

Organizational change management (OCM) is a critical process for any business looking to implement change within its organization. OCM is the process of planning, executing, and monitoring changes to an organization. It's not just about technical tasks like setting up new processes or products but also leading people's side in major changes that affect an entire organization and its goals. When done correctly, OCM can help reduce resistance to change and increase the likelihood of success.  

We help businesses with end-to-end implementation and adoption of new processes or products. 

Services we offer:  

  • Change impact assessment: Examine the proposed change, and the impact it will have on the business and staff. Identify any risks or dependencies that may affect project execution. 

  • Strategy: develop a strategy that highlights stakeholder, communication, and resistance management 

  • Develop an implementation plan: Document scope, actions, timelines, and resources necessary for success. 

  • Stakeholder management & Communication:  Implementing a comprehensive strategy to drive the creation and delivery of messaging to the stakeholders. 

  • Training and development: Develop the necessary training programs 

In order to be successful in today's fast-paced world, an organization needs a flexible and responsive approach.   Agile transformation is the process of adopting an agile way of working within your business. This can involve changes to the way you manage projects, operate your team, and deliver value to your customers. 

Why is this important?  

Because businesses that are able to quickly adapt to change are more likely to survive—and thrive—in today's economy.  

  • Agile projects have a 64% success rate, whereas projects under the competing methodology known as waterfall only have a 49% success rate. 

  • Agile is widely used by at least 71% of U.S. companies.
