The first step in any project is identification of a need. In a typical example Vision Quest's consultants would establish a relationship with a client through one of our consulting services, gaining an understanding of how your business works through regular face-to-face consultations. You might approach us with a need but more usually we would use our understanding of your business to help you identify potential areas of need, our broad experience meaning that we can identify areas that you may have been unaware of. Once needs have been identified we can help you to analyze, compare and prioritize them, and evaluate possible solutions (including making Requests for Proposals and Requests for Technology). During the Project Initiation phase we can also assist you to scope the project, carry out cost/benefit and risk analyses, and create project initiation proposals for presentation to top management.
