"I never before fully appreciated the role the information service plays in R&D productivity and innovation. This isn't something that benefits our department; this is something that benefits the whole of R&D."
A client said these words to me at the conclusion of a Consulting on Value Chain project.
She got more than a deliverable – she got a critical shift in thinking. And, if she keeps her analysis up to date, her department's services will naturally evolve in tandem with changes in R&D strategy itself.
This isn't unique to information teams that support R&D – replace it with your priority customers in business development, account engagement, strategy, etc. – and the statement is still true.
Value Chain analysis benefits the customer by connecting information with business goals.
Here's my invitation to you: Tell me about one challenge you are currently trying to resolve for your information service. In a short conversation, we can explore how Value Chain analysis can create a more effective framework to enable you to address it – and then to use that framework whatever new challenges come your way.
