Fortes software solutions support organizations in shaping and realizing strategic change and growth. With an integrated set of easy-to-use, scalable apps, organizations can increase agility and strategic impact, while keeping control of costs, dependencies and risks.
We enable change.
With Fortes Change Cloud, organizations get a future-proof 'change platform'. This allows them to increase their impact by responding quickly to changes in the market based on the Think. Do. Learn. fashion model. In essence, this means that organizations formulate strategic goals (THINK), then convert them into concrete results through programs and projects (DO), and then measure whether the goals have been achieved and what impact this has (LEARN), so that the strategy can be readjusted again. A continuous learning and change cycle, in which organizations have the choice to work according to a traditional project-portfolio management method or based on Scaled Agile and Lean, or a combination of these.
As a software supplier, we have been bringing products and solutions to the market for more than 20 years that enable our customers to implement improvements and innovations faster, in a clear, controlled manner. Partly thanks to Fortes Change Cloud, leading multinationals, but also numerous public organizations, including municipalities, ministries, water boards and healthcare institutions, have been able to successfully implement extensive and often far-reaching change and innovation programs. We enable change!
Fortes Change Cloud offers various apps, each of which contributes in its own way to the strategic challenges facing organizations. How do I remain agile enough to respond to changes in the market? How do I ensure that our strategy has the intended impact? And how do I keep control and overview of the implementation?
Organizational agility.
Fortes Change Cloud helps organizations to continue to function well in "agile", Rapidly changing environments." It offers tools to organize organizations according to agile principles, independent of framework or methodology (such as SAFe, Scrum, LeSS, PRINCE2 Agile and AgilePM). Agility is all about communicating clearly within and between teams, setting goals, executing projects, measuring results and providing feedback on progress. Things that Fortes Change Cloud helps set up, document and share with stakeholders and agile teams.
From strategy to impact.
How do you go from strategy to impact? In other words: how do you ensure that your strategic objectives are actually realized and have the intended impact? So that you are doing the right things? Thanks to the integrated set of apps in Fortes Change Cloud, you can directly link strategic initiatives, business cases and investment proposals to portfolios. You can then translate this into underlying programs and projects, which convert strategy into concrete deliverables. The progress and achieved results can be made visible in real-time, with which you can measure to what extent you have actually achieved the set goals and KPIs. At the same time, you can learn lessons from this in order to further refine your strategy, thus forming the circle of Think. Do. Learn. is round again.
Keep a grip.
Agility is one thing, keeping a grip on costs, dependencies and risks is another. For some organizations, agile working is not the best approach. They will benefit more from a traditional waterfall approach. Grip on costs and hours spent and making the most of limited resources are central. Fortes Change Cloud has always offered a proven solution for this. Regardless of the chosen project methodology, you can plan your products and resources using a Gantt editor, make product break-downs and prioritize items in the backlog. And thanks to automated project and portfolio reports, you keep a grip on progress and costs, and at the same time an overview of current sprints, phases and projects.
People are central.
Good cooperation - within teams, between teams, with partners, customers and other stakeholders - is essential for any organization. Fortes Change Cloud connects strategy with results and with the people who work on it. Thanks to the flexibly designed apps, you can easily communicate about strategic choices, receive and process feedback, and efficiently arrange coordination across teams. With this Fortes Change Cloud facilitates an accessible collaboration between different disciplines within and outside the organization. Intuitive and from the user's perspective.
Apps.
As already mentioned, Fortes Change Cloud offers a number of apps that each contribute in their own way to organizational agility, effectiveness and efficiency. I will discuss this in more detail in a future blog. So… stay tuned!
