- 18. Our Services Insight Insight – this is the “Ah Ha Moment” initial step where we talk to stakeholders, gather ideas and issues lists, perform guided brainstorming, and generally seek to uncover cross-cutting recognition of where improvements can be made and the potential Order of Magnitude gain from making the improvements Objectives Working with leadership, we use the detailed analysis from step 2 to define Objectives and Goals for the organization, be that the entirety of the company or as constrained as a single team or even scoped around a particular initiative. This step produces the Outcome State map. We do encourage that Objectives be Clear and Practical and, therefore, achievable. Analysis Detailed data gathering and compilation to support (or debunk when appropriate) the information from the Insight Step. Measure We passionately believe this is one of the most critical elements that divides success from failure, or at best mediocrity! If a change or activity can’t be reasonably and objectively measured to determine impact against investment, then we feel there was a mistake made in 1 or more of the steps from 1-5 and needs to be revisited prior to Execution. Plan The Plan Step develops the Framework(s) under which projects and activities will achieve the Outcome State delineated in the 4th step as well as the expected resourcing, timelines, structure, and governance model(s). Execution Based upon the Plans from step 5, projects and activities are launched and managed to fulfill the Outcome State and necessary transitions. Strategy In this step, we are working with leadership and key stakeholders/SME’s to define the “what-ness” of what we’re going to do to achieve the Objectives defined in step 3. Put another way, we declare and document what things need to be in place to achieve the Outcome State In working with client organizations to develop and establish Strategies, supporting Frameworks, and Governance Models, Aria uses a highly “Waterfall” oriented, 7 Step Approach where each step inherits from the preceding step: Through this approach, we believe SUCCESS can be achieved. Management Consulting
- 19. Programme Management DEFINE AND INCORPORATE BUSINESS PRACTICES focuses on gathering and documenting current state aspects ranging from Business Rules that form process scaffolds to determining alignment with the Capital Plan for the corporation as well as goals and KPI’s MEASURE, COMPARE, ANALYZE, AND CAPTURE Measure, Compare, Analyze, and Capture – is all about developing Planned vs. Actual and other measurements and data capture systems to ensure the Programme stays on track and is able to deliver what the organization expects and needs SUCCESSFUL OUTPUTS Actualization of the target state(s) for the Programme DEVELOP STRATEGY AND PLAN using the outputs from Phase 1, we define strategies, including communications and cost management, to achieve the goals, plan for how the strategies will be actualized REPORT AND RECOMMEND In this phase we are concentrating on “keeping the wheels on the road” for the Programme and communicating with stakeholders as well as adapting to expected and unexpected changes 01 02 03 04 05 Aria uses a 5 Step Methodology in designing, developing, and executing successful Programmes:

Transformation Target Operating Model (TOM) definition or optimization Leveraging our Enterprise Architecture experience we concentrate on design new and/or optimizing existing Operating Models including Business Process Reengineering, Authority Models, Transition Approach, Controls and Governance System Adoption Aria has a demonstrated history of success with unconventional approaches to getting users to WANT to utilize new technology and processes. We would love to discuss how we can put this experience to work for you! Our Transformation and Adoption services focus around 2 primary axes:
- 21. Our Services Get in touch While Aria can adapt to various Project Management methodologies per client needs and preferences, we recommend a methodology developed by St. Andrews University that is a “Lean” oriented approach developed to best deliver Rapid Improvement Events (RIEs) which are highly Agile and intensive ideation, planning, and mapping sessions to deliver tightly scoped outputs. Cumulative accretion of these RIE’s results in project and delivery cycles and outputs. Project Management Our extensive experience selecting, designing, and implementing/building solutions at all levels of organizations from small team solutions up to ERP platforms that span the entirety of the corporation, with organizations in more than 30 Industry Verticals, across multiple countries and cultures, and organizations ranging from as small as 20 staff to multi-nationals with 100,000+ staff provides a very broad perspective from which we can pull to create an effective technology design, configuration, and plan. We bring together the hardware, software, data and operating principles that make the most PRACTICAL sense for your opportunities and constraints to be able to be put into ACTION and deliver your desired results. Talk to us today to find out more! Solutions Architecture Leveraging our experience in Transformation/Change Management, combined with many successes in conceiving, designing and deploying effective Solutions, we take a “50,000 foot” view of aspects of not only the technology landscape, but also the processes that feed into and are fed by the technology, and fold in considerations of industry norms and best practices, as well as current and predicted trends, to develop a Current State and Target State and assemble roadmaps to be able to achieve Target State over time. Aria generally aligns with the TOGAF (The Open Group Architecture Framework) Methodology that spans People, Process, and Technology to drive holistic views of our client’s organizations and technology landscape opportunities and risks.

Lorne Rogers Our Dedicated Team Managing Director & CEO Calgary, AB., Canada +1 (587) 481- 8575 info@ariaconsulting.net ariaconsulting.net Lorne Rogers, Aria Consulting’s Founder and Managing Principal brings 20+ years, more than 60 projects across 25+ technology solutions, more than 15 industry verticals, client organizations ranging from 20 staff to more than 100,000 and in 3 countries (Canada, US, Hong Kong), combined with notable accomplishments in Transformation and Change Management, which has imbued him with unusual perspective. Leveraging this perspective in addition to an innate and exceptionally intuitive nature to “see the forest AND the trees”. According to one of the seminal “Personality Profiling” tests (Meyers-Briggs), Lorne tests consistently as an “INTJ-I” which is nicknamed “The Architect” for the unusual aspect of having an above median measurement in all 4 quadrants the results are stated in, though having the 2 strongest quadrants being ‘across’ from the other versus adjacent, which is exceptionally rare. He would love to bring the benefits of that to bear on YOUR needs today! For a longer personal and professional history click below….. MORE INFO
- 23. Lorne Rogers Our Dedicated Team Managing Director & CEO Calgary, AB., Canada +1 (587) 481- 8575 info@ariaconsulting.net ariaconsulting.net Lorne’s 25+ years consulting experience began with a boutique OCM (Organizational Change Management) practice, at a time when even the term “OCM” had not entered common lexicon, focused on driving improvement for client organizations primarily through team dynamics, leadership coaching, and gain-sharing programs which afforded him exceptional depth and breadth of learning. Following this, Lorne began his more than 20 years experience in Business Technology in an implementation consultant and SME role with an Alberta-based furniture manufacturing organization leading their adoption of a new ERP (Enterprise Resources Planning) software solution. Upon completion of this many-faceted engagement, Lorne continued working in the ERP software realm with a local boutique reseller/system integrator as, initially, a Project Manager, and was promoted a few months later to Practice Manager for the Great Plains ERP consulting team as well as serving as a senior consultant for various Lotus Notes projects. Upon the unfortunate insolvency of this practice shortly after the “Y2K” non-event in early 2000, and being unable to find work in the IT field at the time, Lorne made the difficult decision to take the last few clients from the now insolvent practice and founded the initial incarnation of Aria Consulting as an ERP software platform reseller and implementation/system integrator practice partnered with new, via a merger, software company in the US called Epicor Software; a partnership which endured until 2005 when Aria Consulting was forced into bankruptcy due to actions taken by Epicor Software that were in contravention of the partnership contract. Subsequently, Lorne became an independent contract resource primarily working through a variety of staffing agencies, initially working in Project/Programme Manager roles that became more technical in nature over time, and eventually, transitioned to a Solution Architect role working with the Calgary Board of Education where he had the distinction of being one of the first 2 people in Canada to lead an enterprise scale production deployment of Microsoft SharePoint 2007, according to Microsoft Consulting Services. This led to Lorne joining EDS (Electronic Data Systems) as a senior management consultant leading what was termed the Microsoft BPOS (Business Productivity and Office Solutions) consulting efforts for Canada focused mostly on SharePoint. Lorne remained with EDS for approximately 18 months after EDS was acquired by HP when he was laid-off. At this time, Lorne went back to independent contracting until, in 2014, he was recruited to work in Hong Kong by Cathay Pacific Airways as their Manager, ECM to establish and lead the critical and foundational first year of an ECM (Enterprise Content Management) platform composed of IBM FileNet integrated to a hybrid SharePoint 2013/Office 365 solution. In the years since returning to Canada Lorne has held a number of senior contract roles in solutions/enterprise architecture and management consulting. In early 2019, Lorne decided to take Aria Consulting, which had been nothing more than a shell through which the contract roles were channelled, back to being a Business Technology software and hardware reseller and professional services implementation practice by establishing partnerships with a range of carefully hand-picked software companies to collectively provide a significant majority of the technology components that could form the base many organizations need to power their Digital Transformation journeys.
