Accountants have been criticised for wanting to drive the car by looking in the (hard data) rearview mirror. Current information, we are told, has to be mined and viewed on a 'real-time' dashboard. Now, the rearview mirror and the dashboard are indeed essential components of the 'driving experience'......but how about seeing what's coming, by looking through the windscreen?!With the connectivity of the web, and pragmatic tools, we can now tap into the intelligent perceptions of knowledgeable individuals and teams, to understand the forces that are shaping the future of our organisations. RelationshipsAlignment, Resilience, Coherence (ARC) -- In the context of a value-net, every organisation is both a customer - having supply chains - and also a supplier, having sales and marketing channels. To avoid disruption and to secure a sustainable flow of value - from supply chains, through internal value-creation, to value-delivery, to the customer (via sales channels) - it is essential to develop Aligned, Resilient and Coherent relationships:Alignmenta state of agreement or cooperation (towards shared or complementary goals).Resilienceability to cope with and recover readily from disruption / challenge.Coherencelogical, orderly, and consistent relationship of parts.EmpowermentEmpower individuals and teams - typically in cross-boundary situations - by developing solutions and technologies that not only serve an immediate purpose, but that also provide a future growth path, scope for integration and protection from proprietary lock-in._e9d028ca-d640-11e4-a592-a33bb267d4e4IndividualsTeamsNew Information Paradigms (NIP) delivers web-based ARC-enabled application solutions for professional teams managing critical cross-boundary relationships.NIP has been supporting the development of collaborative business relationships for more than two decades, so there are collaborative working threads running through all of our products and services:Driving FactorsIdentify and make visible the important factors driving the day-to-day functioning of relationships._e9d02974-d640-11e4-a592-a33bb267d4e41Problem ResolutionFocus attention on areas where problems can arise and facilitate their resolution._e9d02a3c-d640-11e4-a592-a33bb267d4e42Advice & Best PracticeProvide access to context-sensitive best-practice and advice._e9d02b18-d640-11e4-a592-a33bb267d4e43Performance & MonitoringTake action and monitor performance._e9d02be0-d640-11e4-a592-a33bb267d4e442015-03-29http://www.nipltd.com/aboutOwenAmburOwen.Ambur@verizon.net
