Capabilities
The Zazi Forum is uniquely situated to attack complex multi-faceted technology problems. Unlike traditional consulting firms, with their “busloads of MBA’s,” Zazi can draw on world-class executive and technical talent to work with executive management on thorny issues. While each engagement is unique, the types of capabilities Zazi offers includes:
Issue identification: what are the key issues facing the organization, especially issues resulting from technology shifts, technology integration problems related to merger/acquisition activity, etc.?
Technology audits: what are the technology gaps and deficiencies facing an organization in the context of the changing technology landscape?
Technology-based opportunities: what opportunities are present to exploit emerging technologies to the benefit of the organization? Such planning activities typically take into account factors such as return on investment and manufacturability.
Internal vs. outsourced development decisions: which technologies require significant internal resources, vs. which are appropriate for outsourced development?
Management of outsourced development: When appropriate, Zazi can bring in and manage development teams to rapidly deliver cost-effective, practical solutions.
Linkage to centers of excellence: Zazi maintains working relationships with leading laboratories and universities around the world, and can leverage leading-edge R&D activities on behalf of clients as appropriate.
