re-structure

This is the second stage in ascertaining your current readiness for change. The main purpose is to determine what operational competencies you have from a holistic perspective - incorporating business processes, the skill level of your people and your technology capabilities. These are reviewed to identify what new capabilities and competencies you require to achieve the identified strategic option you are adopting and a blueprint devised and drafted to enable the third step - "redirection" of the company.

As noted in Kalakota & Robinson's Ebusiness Roadmap to Success "Many companies plan really well, yet few translate strategy into action, even though senior management consistently identifies ebusiness as an area of great opportunity and one in which the company needs stronger capabilities. If you ask these same managers how their organisations execute activities and to assess their ability to achieve desired targets, you'll hear a litany of frustrations and little optimism for success"
