Thinkronization Newsletter – June 2012 – Caddies and Consultants, Who Knew The Similiarities?

by Brad Loetz on June 29, 2012

“It took me seventeen years to get 3,000 hits. I did it in one afternoon on the golf course.” —- Hank Aaron, 1971

Does your IT staff go for the green every time or simply take a mulligan?

Golf is a game of strategy, focus and patience. In golf, a caddie provides assistance, advice and moral support. A good caddie carries your bag and clubs. A great caddie knows the terrain, understands the rules of the game and provides strategic insight for the golfer to attain the best score. A great caddie also knows the golfer’s tendencies, strengths and weaknesses.

At REMEDI, we approach information technology with the same focus as a great caddie. We support, advise and direct our clients to achieve the best functionality and value with their IT solutions and talent resources. We help our clients stay focused on their own game (project) because we have the industry experience and knowledge. REMEDI takes the time to learn about each client, like a caddie would learn about a golfer.

“The real way to enjoy playing golf is to take pleasure not in the score, but in the execution of the strokes.” Bobby Jones

Do you REALLY know your caddie?

For The Decision Maker…

A caddie who can positively impact the confidence of their golfer can be extremely valuable. The caddie must know the both the player and the golf course very well. Do your IT consultants and employees stay ahead of the game, or are they always behind? REMEDI employees and consultants are on the forefront of technology, industry trends and training, and really get to know their clients and industries.

Do you trust your consultants to deliver the best solution for your integration needs? Positive visualization can be the difference between a birdie and a bogey and a great caddie can discuss slight corrections that can vastly improve play.

Does your caddie/consultant:

  • Provide your company the right tools to succeed in your marketplace?
  • Foster a relationship as a trusted advisor to you and your team?
  • Offer your company a solid return on your IT investment?
  • Keep your company ahead of your competition and provide strategic direction to maintain your lead?
  • Know and understand your company’s strengths and weaknesses?

If you answered no to any of those questions, it’s time to give the professionals at REMEDI Electronic Commerce Group a call. REMEDI is a business and data integration consulting services and placement company who can provide services, support and personnel to meet your needs.

“I never played a round when I didn’t learn something new about the game.” —- Ben Hogan

For The Talent Manager…

Caddies must be well-versed in the rules of golf to help golfers avoid penalties and play their best. Caddies are expected to be ahead of the golfer to predetermine the best route of play as well as work alongside the golfer to support and suggest the best course of action.

A caddie’s job is to make the game of golf easier and more enjoyable by managing all aspects of the golfer’s game, including equipment, scorekeeping and strategic advice. A consultant’s role is to make an IT upgrade or installation easier by managing all aspects of the client’s needs, including hardware, software and human resources; documenting processes, procedures and workflows; and providing strategic direction.

Does your caddie/consultant:

  • Understand what skill sets are most valuable?
  • Protect your IT investment?
  • Prevent loss of time and resources?
  • Lower stress and unnecessary expense by leveraging IT expertise?
  • Reduce the time and stress of finding quality employees?
  • Improve your company’s efficiency and ROI?
