Capability to execute depends on your People, Processes and Technologies. Processes and Technologies are manifest as "business applications".

Every business has an application platform, whether it's been deliberately arrived at, or just evolved sporadically. If it's evolved, it may be problematic, lacking in functionality, and not serve your PEOPLE and PROCESSES properly!

True capability from a business platform means it will:

1. enable your people
2. streamline your processes
3. fill your overall marketting, sales and crm needs
4. be technically manageable
5. and not costly to manage

Steve has personally worked in large companies that have spent millions of dollars in each of these areas, some totalling in excess of $30M spend over a few years just in order to identify and relate to their customers effectively.

The journey of growth is to:

1. knowing your business
2. understand how other businesses do it well
3. detailing your competitive difference in terms of PEOPLE and PROCESSES

(see Business Improvement for information on this journey!)

Then you'll be able to grow your "application platform" capability to fulfil your optimised processes:

• choosing the typs of applications you need
• making sound choices on fit with PEOPLE and PROCESSES
• ensuring you make sensible TECHNOLOGY choices
• and that the applications are inter-operable!
