Cheshire Henbury's expertise lies in the area of strategic management of technology. In particular we do not believe in a technology-based approach, where other important matters are treated as secondary or are ignored. The key to success with the application of new technologies lies in the integration of strategy, technology, organisation and people. Firms that do not achieve alignment between these four aspects tend to underperform and fail to achieve the full business benefits.

In this respect e-business is no different from other technologies. However, another factor is at work. Structural changes that are enabling e-business, and the structural changes that will follow from the implementation, result in significant levels of uncertainty. This coupled with a fast pace of change means that application of e-business if quite complex and challenging. To deal with this problem firms also need to adopt an agile approach. See our agility home page for further details.

Cheshire Henbury is one of the few organisations in the world that has pioneered the development of a focussed understanding of agility as a means of dealing with structural change and the associated high levels of uncertainty. This coupled with our insights into strategy, technology, organisation and people integration and alignment, makes our knowledge and expertise unique.

Our central philosophy is that e-business and agility are something one does for oneself, using outside experts to support this process.

For firms who are ready to begin to understand and embrace e-business and the agility required to deal with structural changes and uncertainty, Cheshire Henbury can provide support in several different ways. We can help customers to:

1. Better understand the topic and spread this understanding to key decision makers;

2. Develop a high level e-business/agility supporting strategy;

3. Identify areas where e-business can best be utilised;

4. Design company specific implementation processes;

5. We can also provide on-going support for internal e-business projects.

For conference organisers we are able to offer a key note speaker. Paul T. Kidd has extensive experience of making such presentations, both to public domain and in-house events.
