In this issue, we provide some answers to two very topical questions facing many organisations: what does ‘good’ look like for IT outsourcing and how do you know if Cloud Computing is right for you? We also have an article on the importance of effective communication within your organisation and highlight a couple of Berkeley health-checks that may be of relevance to your business.

Try our new healthchecks to help you discover if your strategy and projects are in good health.

Strategy healthcheck

Whether at the corporate level or within a specific business unit or function, a well developed and executed strategy can bring huge improvements in an organisation's performance.

Project healthcheck

The project healthcheck can be used on an individual basis or it can be completed by a range of project stakeholders to provide a 360° perspective.
