Information Technology should mean more than dumping a bunch of computers on a bunch of desktops and hoping for the best.
It should mean an integrated multi-media approach to information storage and retrieval problems of all kinds.
It should also mean adequate training for staff who are expected to make use of these tools. Too often, investments in hard and software are not adequately supported by investments in staff familiarisation. In these situations, the value of the investment in hard and software remains effectively unrealised.
GrassRoots takes pride in providing appropriate solutions to IT problems.
GrassRoots InfoTech
1. Projections
- Assisting with development of financial projections and cashflows
- Development of spreadsheet models for ongoing client use
2. Training
One to one or small group practical “shortcut” training for key community
clients and/or Company staff in improving software efficiency, especially in:
- Word
- Excel
- PowerPoint
- FrontPage (Web site design and installation)
Many information storage/retrieval problems are not actually IT based. Many stem from more straightforward human communication problems. Some of the organisational skills and abilities we are able to bring to bear to assist either your staff or any clients you may have are as follows:
1. Collective decision making
- Facilitating group meetings
- Familiarising such groups with basics (chairing, Minutes, record-keeping, etc.)
- Facilitating development of practical/achievable strategies
- Formalising such elements of the above as required (including Company / Development Trust / Charity Registration)
2. Conflict Resolution
Conflicts, both internal and external, can often lead to litigation which then leads not so much to resolution of the underlying problems as to apportionment of blame in accordance with the strict application of the letter of the law.
Carefully negotiated processes of conflict resolution can often lead to more acceptable and practical solutions with less collateral damage in the form of sharply declining staff morale.
- Assisting with development of ideas into clarified documents and/or presentations
- Familiarisation with PowerPoint and other presentation aids
- Small scale video production (including output to DVD or CD)
From corporate events to technical presentations; from product launches to promotional videos; from natural observation to documentary, GrassRoots is your one stop shop. Further, GR can produce results with economic efficiency.
The core of GR's work is "the explanation". The explanation is at the centre of every attempt at human communication. By acknowledging this to be the case, GR can get to the root of the matter very quickly and prides itself in being able to convert any explanation to any required medium for any intended audience.
Our rates are generally lower than the consultancy norm, and can, in many instances, be reduced further for longer term undertakings.
