K2 Advisory
K2 Advisory is a brand new Sift Media business, which calls on ‘horizon scanning’ research techniques to advise organisations on future strategy. K2 Advisory is run by Dr Katy Ring (director) and Kate Hanaghan (research manager) – both respected analysts with strong track records in the tech sector.
In addition to its advisory services, K2 Advisory will issue six horizon scanning research reports in 2010 addressing the following topics: Cloud Computing, Sustainability, Innovation, Skills, Outsourcing and Software Satisfaction. Visit www.k2advisory.com for more information.
Organisations need to plan for the future. In order to do that they need plausible insights into what may happen, and they need influence to help change current habitual thinking.
K2 Advisory is an analyst team with many years’ experience in the IT services sector and a determination to find solutions through creative and practical means.
Approach
K2 Advisory applies a Horizon Scanning approach to research to help organisations develop strategies for possible future scenarios.
The K2 approach to analysis is underpinned by our link into the professional communities run by our parent company, Sift Media. This eco-system of professionals and senior executives in Financial Services, Public Sector and Human Resources provides us with unrivalled connections into the end user community. In addition, we are networked into the CIO community of the UK, advising upon their strategies and surveying their views.
How we can help you
We provide analysis, consulting and event/networking services.
In 2010, our core research programme will be linked to the following themes:
- ICT (e.g. cloud computing, outsourcing, software user satisfaction)
- Human resources (e.g. digital workplace)
- Finance & Accounting outsourcing
- Public sector technology: challenges and opportunities
- Skills: the impact of changing business models
- Sustainability: the challenges and opportunities
A K2 Advisory Research Pass gives you full access to this analysis programme and complimentary access to our analysts. We also provide related consulting services to organisations big and small – applying our Horizon Scanning research findings and interactions with the Sift Media end user communities.
For our CIO community we offer Executive Leadership Briefings over breakfast, lunch or dinner – and sponsorship opportunities for vendors.
Please contact us if you are interested in any of these services.
