Innovative Project Management

We see project management differently.

Instead of wading through a series of checklists, we listen, stand back and help you review your situation and the resources you have at hand.

We quickly assess your project and your assets, applying foresight, and aligning both to business needs. We are adept at anticipating speed bumps and eliminating the greater obstacles that put most large, fast-moving projects at risk.

The approach we use to accelerate and guide a project goes beyond taking ownership. Everything we do connects to purpose and meaning.

Moving seamlessly between both technical and business worlds, we keep projects in-line and on track, reinforcing the business objectives of the project with every step of the way.

Accessible Business Analysis

This is what we live + breathe.

We listen, synthesize, and unpack the problem providing direction and uncovering opportunity. We excel in rapid situation analysis - instinctively knowing which questions to ask.

We will ask the questions that no one else in the room will ask: questions you will need the answers to.

We will not inundate you with reams of documents to articulate the problem. Instead we provide clear and concise business insight and analysis, then shape the project with practical direction.

The truth is always in the data. We get to the truth of the problem with a clear articulation of options, necessities, and impacts to your business needs.

System Architecture

At RDI, System Architecture is always “Business” System Architecture. Our approach integrates your most important business objectives with practical technical plans. How often do you see a system plan that falls short of its business objectives? Our technical skills ensure a successful, comprehensive synthesis of business goals and technical solutions.

The perfect companion to our practical guidance, our blueprints have led to faster gains and fuller yields, even in the most difficult of circumstances.

Clients have saved millions in lost time and lost revenue by following our insightful, appropriate, and exciting plans.

Strategy & Roadmapping

We walk in your shoes.

Nothing is better than sharing a fresh, experienced viewpoint to help you work through even the most difficult and hairy plans.

We rapidly assess your business landscape, weighing both its challenges and advantages. We capture the most complex global goals and objectives and shape them to reflect your greatest return. Then we offer clear and practical guidance.

We not only assist in building your strategy and roadmap, but as advocates, we never lose sight of its meaning with each project twist and turn.

As resources and a sounding board, we guide you each and every step of the way.

Big Data Synthesis

RDI is uniquely skilled at Big Data projects. Big Data is, frankly, a land of half-truths and missed objectives: a place where just a little bit of knowledge is enough to terrify even the hardened professionals.

Big Data is at best useless and at worst creates chaos unless it is practical and accessible. The only way to understand Big Data is to figure out the story it tells about your business. How do you realize the truth it is trying to share?

Our skills allow us to recognize the patterns of information most valuable to your company and quickly guide the process to its most relevant conclusion.

Let our global experience deliver you from the challenges, and the not so obvious pitfalls, of the Big Data world.

Consensus Building

Conflicting agendas provide the biggest obstacles to a successful project. We are highly skilled at identifying these conflicts and working carefully and tactfully to resolve them.

Our approach is cross-functional, working across the relevant business organizations to include the right stakeholders, each with their own objectives for features and funds.

We identify the right participants at every level and start building consensus by aligning interests and highlighting common goals, as well articulating the differences and needs for differing outcomes.

Then, we identify and connect, bring clarity to misalignment and, moving forward, shape disparate agendas into common goals and shared concerns.

System Guidance

Of absolute importance to the success of your system development is our ability to see the entire project – clearly – from both the technical and business sides.

Our knowledge of organization structure and operational models infuses our rapid ability to plot the best pathways for your project – and even further, allows us to see the problems most likely to affect your project down the line.

It’s like radar.

Having led IT organizations and delivered on large scale software applications running major business functions, we clearly recognize the avenues for both successful strategy and decisive implementation.

Come to us, when the outcome is critical and you want to seize as many opportunities as you can along the way.

Team Building

Your worldwide teams working together: that is where projects begin at RDI.

We identify specific skills and resources needed for a successful journey, allowing you to incorporate company-wide strengths at your earliest opportunity, where they can reinforce a project and do you the most good.

We believe in making working space for everyone on the team and in doing so, we bring everyone’s strengths into alignment with both our insights and your project’s goals.

Your teams are aware and on point, and decisively focused. The resulting harmony becomes a multiplier in ensuring the success of even the most complicated project.
