Enterprisecloud Catalyst: 2-Week Envisioning & BVA Co-investment Workshops

Today, there are more solutions than ever to choose from on the market and you might not know where to start. Before committing to any software, you should take the time to evaluate and adequately scope your specific needs. This catalyst process will provide a structured and achievable technological roadmap to showcase your business case and ROI to Stakeholders with accelerated action toward the business outcome or goal. The Microsoft Catalyst programme is designed to help businesses analyse where they are, plan for the future, and create a solid plan and business case to enable and execute a strategy, all through innovative workshops and architect-led sessions.

The two-week process of Microsoft-structured Envisioning and Planning workshops will include: Day 1 | Kick-off and Catalyst Charter: Agree on scope and time. Day 2 - 7 | Stakeholder Interviews: one-on-one interviews with senior stakeholders to understand priorities and goals. Day 8 | Envisioning Workshop: This takes place in the Inspire phase, and is designed to help potential clients outline their current state. You will be asked to identify current challenges, product or process gaps, and areas for improvement Day 9 | Business Value Assessment: The Business Value Assessment, or BVA, is another essential exercise, as it helps further outline the project scope and quantify/qualify with a lens of value recognition. Day 10 - 14 | Solution Assessment: You will be thoroughly guided through solution assessments and demos to demonstrate the solution's value and suitability based on the Envisioning Workshop and Business Value Assessment.
