Comprehensive Services
Although you can learn a great deal from an initial diagnostic, the primary value of methodology engineering comes from deep understanding of the nature of current challenges, the design programs to refresh and rebuild business processes, and implementation support to help a business embrace new systems as a constant routine. Changing the pattern of work requires the use of just that, change—the most difficult activity of those common to all organizations. Although many businesses, non-profit and government operations may openly admit a desire to transform their internal processes, tools and relationships, not many are ready to commit to a complete methodology engineering lifecycle.
To assist in a daunting process of pursuing change, Slaughter Development offers each of the major service phases in individual packages. And yes, we state projected costs, as part of our pricing philosophy:
