BLOCKCHAIN:
Blockchain: The IT of the Future:
In recent times, the development of blockchain has become very rapid because of its applicability, that is not only limited to the Bitcoin network but also in various other domains due to the features like being highly secure and robust. It has already received the attention of big companies and they have started implementing it in financial services and supply chain management. This technology can further prove to be a great help in areas like logistics value chain, banking, cryptocurrencies, healthcare, smart contracts, and voting as well.
Features of Blockchain:
A Trusted Approach:
Blockchain is known to offer a distributed ledger that exhibits tamper-proof transactions in a decentralized network. It can be rightly called a database in the decentralized network to validate and store all transactions in a consensus that is agreed upon by all nodes in the network, without any central authority. The complete and valid transactions are added to the distributed ledger with a timestamp and other details. Hence, the blockchain technology can exchange tangible and intangible data among the participants of the public ledger. Each stakeholder maintains a copy of the synchronized ledger, which prevents a single point of system failure or data loss. When changes are made, such as adding a new block, all copies in the network are simultaneously updated, and records registered. These changes thus create a chain. With many technologies and domains working to explore the blockchain, the technology is making a big name for itself. As a buzzword on the tongue of every other IT professional, blockchain stands to make operations more accurate, efficient and secure.
Build your Blockchain Project with Kunios.
TSI offers a comprehensive suite of end-to-end blockchain services from advisory, implementation, change management, to operationalization and application maintenance. We help clients embark upon a blockchain journey based on their maturity in terms of people process and technology. Typically, our service offerings can be categorized as:
Unique Blockchain Technology Considerations:
Data Standardization
Alignment between customers and suppliers agree on business practices or data and infrastructure standards. Blockchain projects require robust master data governance nd alignment on standards.
Operating Costs
Blockchains employ a concept of ‘gas’ within their design. Gas is a method of calculating a transaction fee for the data transacted on blockchain. Consider that how the layers of the system architecture impact transaction costs during design
Sustainability
Blockchain systems use more energy and require more data storage than traditional systems. Consensus mechanisms impact energy costs significantly.
Scalability vs Speed
Blockchain has, for low capabilities in transactions per second, originally 8-14 second transactions. Second generation protocols deploying alternate consensus methods can achieve significantly higher transaction rates.
Legal Considerations
The use of smart contracts has legal implications which must be considered as part of the design. A smart contract does not negate the need for the contract and the two artefacts must align.
Regulatory Environment
Regulations around the use of cryptocurrency and blockchain is not formalized, and is ever evolving. Consider how blockchain architecture plays into current and future generations
POTENTIAL USES OF BLOCKCHAIN
HEALTHCARE
TSI can use blockchain to store sensitive medical information of patients. Smart contracts can be used to establish the parameters of what data can be shared and between whom.
REAL ESTATE
Blockchain can be used to create decentralized registry systems to keep a track of properties etc.
FINANCE

Organizational Change Management:
Business Survival Requires Change:
Organizational change management (OCM) is a framework for managing the impact of new business processes, technology, changes in organizational structure or cultural changes within an enterprise. Today’s business environment is rapidly changing, requiring organizations of all types and sizes to continually transform in order to remain competitive, achieve business growth and meet their goals. Transformation projects have also changed over time, becoming far more complex in the new business environment. Kunios offers diverse project management and technical skills to optimize understanding of the business environment and impacted stakeholders. Kunios implements best practice techniques, methodologies, processes and tools, and other project and change management standards. These include, for example, the ability to develop a Work Breakdown Schedule, use of Requirements Analysis and Stakeholder Analysis techniques and a proprietary system for measuring performance against transformation goals.
The Current Business Reality:
There are a myriad of challenges that organizations face today, from competitive threats and everchanging customer needs to rapidly changing technology, global politics, financial and supply chain complexities . . . the list is endless. In order to conquer these challenges, businesses not only must be proactive and nimble, but all who enable the business — employees, suppliers, and customers – must understand, support and be able to implement the changes required to overcome these challenges. This is the “raison d’etre” of Organizational Change Management.
Don’t Leave Change to Chance:
Business transformation is difficult. Within our Organization Change Management practice, we ensure that we are tightly integrated with the overall program delivery team. This not only ensures a smooth deployment of technology to meet business objectives, but also allows for a seamless transition of impacted staff and stakeholders from the current state to the new state with as minimal disruption to operations as possible.
OCM STRATEGY AND INTEGRATION: We help our clients with OCM strategy and techniques that are integrated with the organization’s plans for business transformation.
STAKEHOLDER MANAGEMENT: We identify and document the approaches needed to be followed to increase support and decrease the negative impacts of stakeholders in the organization.
CHANGE COMMUNICATIONS: We develop strategies that consist of delivering timely, relevant, and consistent information and documents, as well as mechanisms, to share feedback, raise concerns, and ask questions.
ORGANIZATIONAL ALIGNMENT: We work with your team to make sure that the entire team from the most entry-level employees to the CEO shares a common vision and goal for the company.
LEARNING ENABLEMENT: We work with your team to make sure there is a transfer of knowledge and skills within the organization.
ENTERPRISE SUSTAINABILITY: We work with you to make sure that your organization can anticipate and meet the needs of present and future generations of customers and stakeholders through creating and innovating new business strategies.

Business Continuity Planning:
Only one thing is worse than having a prolonged disruption to your operations. Not being prepared for it. Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery (BCDR) is divided into two different phases/components:
Business Continuity (BC): BC deals with the business operations side of BCDR. It involves designing and creating policies and procedures that ensure that essential business functions/processes are available during and after a disaster. Business Continuity (BC) can include the replacement of staff, service availability issues, business impact analysis and change management.
Disaster Recovery (DR): DR is primarily focused on the IT side of BCDR. It defines how an organization’s IT department will recover from a natural or artificial disaster. The processes within this phase can include server and network restoration, copying backup data and provisioning backup systems.
Give your Business Resilience a Power Boost: Typically, most medium and large enterprises have an integrated BCDR plan or separate BC and DR plans for dealing with unforeseen natural or man-made disasters. TSI aims to help organizations successfully implement their BCDR plans and be prepared to respond quickly and effectively.

Business Process Reengineering:
Align your business processes to achieve your business vision.
Business process re-engineering is a strategy based on aspiration that aims to redesign the process almost from scratch. It takes into consideration the input and the desired output and comes up with an efficient process to achieve the aim. Thus, Business Process Re-engineering is a radical approach to the current business process. Business process re-engineering necessarily means replacing the existing system.
Radical Redesign for Dramatic Results.
Companies need to determine whether a certain process within the organization requires minor healing (continuous process improvement) or major surgery (process, reengineering). It depends on the circumstances facing the business. While process improvement efforts should be guided by organizational efforts, it is important to put these approaches in context to determine which is suitable. Business process reengineering is required when:

- The company wants to focus on overall strategy to be achieved, rather than tasks or process optimization.
- Existing process is already mapped/documented

– Blindspots of leaders: do leaders know what the team is experiencing?
– Which factors are most important to the team so they can focus on those areas to leverage and strengthen.
TALENT REVIEW
The most valuable asset in your organization goes up and down the elevator every day. What is your talent succession plan for 1 – 3 years? 3 – 5 years? In an emergency?
The FCG Talent Review uses a “3 C” heat map approach to understand if your talent are in the right roles given their abilities and their importance to the organization.
– What is the COMPETENCY level of each team member in their respective roles?
– What is their CONTRIBUTION?
– How CRITICAL is their role in the organization?
REWARDS AUDIT
Compensation is more than just the cash you receive. A plan that attracts and retains top talent must have a balance of extrinsic and intrinsic elements.
The FCG rewards audit will help the organization understand:
– If the current plan is Fair, Transparent and Simple.
– If the current plan aligns with the organization’s culture and strategy.
– If employees support the plan or if it is a detractor to performance.
Understanding your culture has never been more important.
The FCG culture assessment informs the organization on what employees think about:
– The cultural strengths that should be leveraged.
– The areas of development and their impact on the overall culture.
– The alignment around a clear vision of success.
Benchmarking to the FCG database is also available.
EQ - THE ENNEAGRAM
IQ gets you in the door and EQ (emotional intelligence) makes you successful. There are many tools to help you with developing your Emotional Intelligence but at FCG we think one of the most powerful is the Enneagram.
The Enneagram helps you to:
– Understand how your personality style impacts your communication, decision-making, and relationships.
– Understand the cognitive diversity within your organization and on your team
– Understand how you can strengthen organizational and team effectiveness by understanding your colleagues better.
360 ASSESSMENT
People don’t leave organizations, they leave managers. Feedback is the most important tool to ensure this doesn’t happen and you are developing your people.
Our fully customizable system allows organizations to:
– Assess leaders, managers, employees on specific competencies that are important to the organization
– Understand the strengths and development areas of the individuals and organization as a whole.
– Have an anonymous feedback system available so leaders get feedback from up, down and across the organization.

Emotional Intelligence
When emotions run high, they change the way our brains function, diminishing our basic cognitive abilities, decision-making powers, and even our interpersonal skills. That is why even the most talented people can underperform when faced with triggering relationships, rapid change and disruption, or high-stakes (and high-stress) projects.
Tech Guard helps you harness the emotions that stand in the way of building trust, collaboration, and engagement across the organization. We function as an extension of your team, ensuring that your people build the skills of Emotional Intelligence so everyone can perform at their best even during great challenge and change.
Why Investing in Emotional Intelligence Training is Essential:
Emotional Intelligence is the key to having a positive impact on your team and organization. It is foundational to developing people, teams, and cultures that can adapt and engage, no matter what challenges are encountered.
In today’s rapidly changing world, organizations need to develop leadership competencies that enable their leaders to proactively respond rather than react and demonstrate the empathy and care for their people that is more essential than ever.
In order to build a workforce that is resilient at all levels, organizations need to invest in emotional intelligence skills like collaboration, decision-making, conflict management, and motivating. This will ensure the organization has the trust, communication, and engagement that will allow people to perform at their best, in any circumstance.

continuoUs process improvement - Lean training
If you want to create a world class organization, then lets talk about Continuous Process Improvement (CPI). Continuous process improvement is defined as, “The ongoing improvement of products, services or processes through incremental and breakthrough improvements.”
It doesn’t only mean that a business should make changes along the way when things aren’t working smoothly. Instead, continuous process improvement is an actual type of work style that is designed to continuously review results and rapidly adopt new measures when deemed necessary. The keyword here is continuous because ultimately broad-scale change and progress stem from small steps along the way that are all geared towards optimization.
Do you want to ensure you are solving the right problems? Do you want a system that provides a consistent method of solving problems? Do you want to build an organization that creates products that are the highest quality, meet the customer needs and can be measured? Then this is the system for you!!
We will teach you how to use the A3 problem solving methodology. This is a structured problem-solving and continuous-improvement approach, first employed at Toyota and typically used by lean manufacturing practitioners. It provides a simple and strict procedure that guides problem solving by staff. The approach typically uses a single sheet of ISO A3-size paper, which is the source of its name.
