Approach

The hallmarks of the Wave Approach are:

• Knowledge Transfer
• Continuous Improvement
• Partnership
• Incremental Delivery
• Flexibility

Adapted from the Corporations of the 90's

Wave is committed to building long-term relationships with clients and partners to ensure sustained value is derived from the systems and processes that it implements.

Knowledge Transfer - "Developing the skills of client staff is critical to enhancing the organisation's overall capabilities, both in its own right, and as a complement to the implementation of processes." *

Continuous Improvement - Wave is committed through training and mentoring of client staff to the continuous improvement of information processes. As client staff gain greater understanding of what is possible, then this engenders innovation and continuous improvement.

Partnership - Wave is committed to a partnering approach with clients. Working in teams with client staff, a focus is maintained on building foundations to enable the client to "own" the new information process and to facilitate continuous improvement.

Incremental Delivery - Wave's approach is to deliver solutions in increments, using an iterative process to deliver early business benefits and return on investment. As clients become attuned to what is possible, the propensity to provide further value in Enterprise Information is achieved.

Flexibility - At all times Wave is flexible to enable it to respond quickly to the changing dynamics and information requirements of clients.

The Wave Approach is based on the PRINCE2 project management methodology, supported by research conducted by the The Monash University Centre for Decision Support and Enterprise Systems Research (CDSESR) and underpinned by real world experience across many projects. Wave uses Enterprise Architect to provide design and documentation rigour in the solutions it develops.
