Our consultants harnesses statistics, AI and advanced market insights to identify meaningful patterns in large data-sets. Smartly deployed analytics provide premium insights into an organization’s performance metrics, and the complex, often bewildering, changes happening around them.

We understand that interpreting Big Data no longer gives you an edge on the competition.  Rather, in an era of digital disruption, it is essential to your very survival. This is because Big Data has cross-functional impact, proving indispensable to strategy, operations, HR and IT alike.

This is where Zelie comes in. It is not the data, but the people who can interpret and leverage it who are the real asset for our clients. Qualified data scientists are still a rare breed. Zelie provides the rare consultants who can combine their data science abilities, with strategic acumen with an ability to explain analytics in layman’s terms.

Whereas the traditional “waterfall” approach has one discipline contribute to the project, then “throw it over the wall” to the next contributor, agile calls for collaborative cross-functional teams. Open communication, collaboration, adaptation, and trust amongst team members are at the heart of agile. Although the project lead or product owner typically prioritizes the work to be delivered, the team takes the lead on deciding how the work will get done, self-organizing around granular tasks and assignments.

Agile isn’t defined by a set of ceremonies or specific development techniques. Rather, agile is a group of methodologies that demonstrate a commitment to tight feedback cycles and continuous improvement.

No matter where you are in your agile journey, our certified personnel enable enterprise agile success. Unlike companies that take a “one size fits all” approach, we work with you to shape a training and services strategy that is best suited to the needs of your organization.

Our consultants provide a systematic approach to dealing with the transition or transformation of an organization’s goals, processes or technologies. The purpose of change management is to implement strategies for effecting change, controlling change and helping people to adapt to change. Such strategies include having a structured procedure for requesting change, as well as mechanisms for responding to requests and following them up.  Zelie adjusts to your needs based on where you are in your change management program.

The era of everything-as-a-service (XaaS) has provided both an opportunity  and a challenge for companies across industries. The XaaS model, a subscription-based solution that makes cloud-based applications available on demand unlike the traditional license-based platforms of the past, delivers several noteworthy advantages over its predecessors. Between cost reductions and easier access to vital tools, XaaS is here to stay. For many, this also means the death of IT as we know it.

On the other hand, XaaS is accompanied by a new set of difficulties to replace older ones. For one, the sheer number of available applications means companies can find themselves overspending and becoming over-reliant on applications. Additionally, the ease with which they can be installed and add new users can create serious problems when attempting to manage large corporate ecosystems.

In an era where unpatched software and applications are growing increasingly problematic, having a veritable “Wild West” of applications on hand can lead to numerous headaches. For companies without IT departments, or with barebones operations, this means having to manually tackle the issue, or simply ignore it. For those who believe IT has become superfluous, the XaaS era proves them wrong. IT hasn’t become irrelevant, it has merely had to adapt to a rapidly changing landscape of which we are capable of working through the various hybrid solutions and cost-effective needs of any business.

M&A and divestitures are increasingly critical to business success. Why? Growth drives value creation, and acquisitions offer a way to grow when organic growth is limited. Actively pruning the business portfolio over time also helps a company sustain its capacity to deliver value.  The key is to manage corporate transactions as an industrial process, not an occasional activity.  Zelie consultants are available to work with you at any point in your activities with seamless interactions that make the decisions and implementations of the activities timely, thorough, successful and profitable.

Zelie consultants focus on planning, organizing and supervising in the contexts of production, manufacturing or the provision of services. As such, we are delivery-focused, ensuring that an organization successfully turns inputs to outputs in an efficient manner. The inputs themselves could represent anything from materials, equipment and technology to human resources such as staff or workers.

“Changing what we have the power to change, accepting the things we cannot change, and becoming wise enough to know the difference between the two.” It is a very old saying, and one that many people aspire to. But when it comes to implementing quality within your business, many feel they have or should have the power to effect change themselves. Sometimes, however, an outsider might be best to help lead the change.

Implementing quality within your organization is not about writing and distributing a manual. It is a new way of doing work with a new set of tools – and it’s going to have profound implications on your compensation and organizational structure.  Zelie’s Six Sigma consultants have very specific knowledge that helps guide our client’s through the processes necessary to achieve these goals.
