Collaborative Workforce
Employer
Building an agile workforce in response to continuous technology disruption and fast changing business goals are the impediments for enterprises today.
Decentralized and unbound digital business initiatives run by organizations without a strong in-house capability or a reliable vendor relationship with wide range of deep technical expertise will jeopardize the business success.
Speed and agility trump every other barrier that businesses face to achieve growth in today's market.
Gartner studies on adoption of Bi-Modal approach to Vendor management(VM) to support the flexible needs of digital business initiatives says,
To meet the demands of digital business transformation, VM leaders must provide alternatives to conventional VM process. This means reducing cycle times and allowing exceptions to long standing practices that may have hindered creativity or stalled vendor delivery of innovation.
Digital business demands greater dexterity in creating value from technology.Bimodal IT is a tool vital to addressing that challenge. Using it, IT adopts two distinct ways to meet enterprise demand - being agile and flexible, and having a step-by-step approach that ensures efficiency and predictability. Bimodal IT fills the digital divide between what IT provides and what IT really needs. Harnessing this same methodology for IT VM practices enables business stakeholders to (1) attain the innovation and agility they need from vendors, and (2) leverage best practices in VM adopted to fast-track" key business initiatives.
