If you've ever...

• Struggled to prioritise or make time for strategy
• Made strategic plans, which were left mostly unactivated
• Been confused by the resistance to 'process changes' that the whole team agreed upon...

...then you need to get the full test of this insight:

"It's the daily actions and continuous improvement that make your vision a reality."

This is the final insight of the Research Focus, "The Information Centre of Excellence - commercial, consultative, collaborative".

This insight speaks to Jinfo's recognition that strategy and optimisation are two sides of the same coin, and together they form the foundation of an Information Centre of Excellence.

If you want to act on this insight, Jinfo has options:

• Start with the Jinfo model - mapping your service to the Centre of Excellence model to determine where practical action can move you forward
  
  
• The Jinfo model - recipe capture and optimisation, included in a Jinfo Subscription, offers a self-paced learning option for exploring one of the fundamentals of optimisation
  
  
• Jinfo Consulting Workshop: "Do better with less: workflow optimisation" goes deeper, featuring one-on-one work with a Jinfo analyst to enable your team to master optimisation principles through practice and coaching

Or talk with us about your specific needs - we can design projects to help you close the gap between your vision and your day-to-day reality, whether for one area of your service or across all operations. Start the conversation today.
