why choose us
Executives may not recognize that many of the day-to-day business challenges they face involve issues of value management. Tyrne provides proven value management principles, processes and practices to enable enterprises to maximize the delivery of business value through strategic initiatives. We refer to these challenges as the most common tipping points—or “trigger” events that are likely to spur executives to improve their enterprise’s value management practices. Experience shows that the tipping points can come from two sources:
- Internal events
Experiences that bring into question the contribution of enterprise projects, business and IT functions. Examples include major project failures, serious budget overruns, and an enterprise’s inability to absorb people and process changes.
- External events
Influences from beyond the enterprise that necessitate the changing of business priorities. Examples include mergers and acquisitions, a major shift in the marketplace with respect to competitors’ actions, economic conditions or lack of competitive edge.
