Planning

Planning service
Yes
How the planning service works
Our unique safety critical communications service supports any organisation with safety critical operations that are using or migrating to Cloud, agile or SAFe. The service identifies and analyses issues in operations and communications that may be impacted by the introduction of cloud technology, agile or SAFe methods or principles. Our safety critical Cloud communications service ensures that communications and other human factors are included in the change management, project management and programme management cycles.

Our safety critical communications service diagnoses communications issues within and between teams and stakeholders. We can help all stages of projects following GDS Service Standard or DDaT Functional Standard principles, e.g. agile and lean, including inception, pre-discovery, discovery, alpha, beta and live phases (and their assessments). This important and unique service is of particular benefit where both agile and Cloud are a new to an organisation or a team within the organisation, or where the organisation operates to a strict hierarchy. The service can also support the planning of external communications around a Cloud, agile or SAFe implementation and the communications and functions for which Cloud services such as SaaS are intended to be used. The service can also support the planning of human factors considerations.

Setup and migration

Setup or migration service available
Yes
How the setup or migration service works
We work with you to analyse operations and communications issues that may be impacted by the introduction of cloud technology, agile methods or user-centred design principles. We advise on measures that can be taken before, during and after transition that will aid safety critical operations and communications.

This service is applicable to blue light, military, border, aviation, regulatory, fire and rescue, and any other service that has operations and communications that are directly or indirectly safety critical. This service also supports business continuity operations and communications in a Cloud, agile or SAFe environment.

The service employs proven tools and techniques from anthropology, organisational ethnography, and socio-linguistics to deliver a rigorous analysis of an organisation’s communication (both written and oral) and culture styles.

This unique service is invaluable in programme, project and change management or where two or more groups (including stakeholder groups) need to work together to deliver and maximise the benefits of Cloud, agile or SAFe. Our service also facilitates the inclusion of human factors analysis into the Cloud, agile or SAFe transition.

In addition to internal communications this service can ensure that there is consistency of message and tone in your Cloud, agile or SAFe service content.
