• Understand the problem “ What problem are we trying to solve ? What is the company ’ s strategy , what is the technology strategy and what are the priorities to get the company there on both fronts ? Start with an end goal in mind . “ We ’ ve really stepped back and said : ‘ What do we want to be , five , six , seven , eight years from now ? What size company do we want to be ? What is the infrastructure we need ? What ’ s our omnichannel strategy ? Who and what do our customers want ? ”
• Get the tech right “ What technologies work well here , at what costs , and at what time ( timing is really important )? There are several good options , but what works best for your problem space and employee skills sets is important . Change management is critical – not just for the business but for the technology team .”
• Work together “ Education , collaboration and solutioning all require the business and technology teams work together . We work to partner across both our technology team and business teams at HoneyBaked ; working crossfunctionally to implement change .
