We have a strategy, experience and a proven track record in delivering what clients desire!
Technology and data are revolutionizing everything from the way we work to our health and social care services. As Digital Enthusiast for ANAV Advisory Services (ANAV), we are tasked with leading the company’s business innovation efforts to solve big digital problems for clients.
⇒ But what exactly does that involve?
All of us @ ANAV enjoys mixed & diverse background, which means we are well-suited to work in digital innovation – and advise our clients about what’s on the horizon in their industry.
Being born and brought up in India, having studied commerce/economics/science/engineering (and if we went to business school or not does matter much), most of us fell into the technology world.
Most part of our individual career has been spent while working in emerging technologies – so we understand how each skill is adopted, what the patterns are, and how innovation works in those areas
The role of digital enthusiast didn’t really exist in this form before we began our journey in ANAV – we carved it out together when ANAV took its baby steps 2 years ago based on the needs of the business at the time.
Firstly, there was a need to better articulate the huge amount of work we do across a number of different areas in digital innovation. And secondly, although we have a lot of specialists here, in our early conversations with clients, we often go broad rather than deep. Since then the role has evolved into an innovation-centric role.
Business problems don’t always present themselves with a neat label about what the solution might be – it could be blockchain or AI or ML or Big Data or chatbots, or the answer could be design or a commercial model – so we have to be creative to find the right answer.
With a diverse team of consultants, process designers, solution developers and commercial people, we try and get our teeth into unsolved problems or opportunities that we can solve using existing tools – or sometimes by creating new ones. We always like to point out that ANAV team has representation from diverse background!
Day-to-day, we work closely with our internal technology innovation team, with external partners, and whatever we can find in ANAV that allows us to join the dots. We discuss with clients at least once a month in the present Covid-19 scenario.
It means no-one @ ANAV is boxed into a specific area and has free rein to choose what problem we want to fix and how we do it.
ANAV excels at solving large-scale, open-ended problems that require future thinking. We work with organizational departments on complex projects. Yet, the starting point is often small. One large wholesale/distributor wanted help tracking all the backend visitors who come to their stores – basically anyone who’s not a customer.
Within six weeks, working closely with the client team, we had designed an alpha product for just one store – a tablet interface that digitized the paper-based model of registering visitors. Within three months, it was in four stores. In less than 12 months, we have gone from idea to national rollout in 2,000 stores – quite good going for most ideas and large companies.
Due to Covid-19, we don’t go to the office. But we bunch up our face-to-face meetings on Mondays and Fridays via Video conferencing, which also allows people to work from home for rest part of the week.
We have embraced agile practices, so we use digital tools like Zoom, Google Meet, or Microsoft Teams and there’s a very transparent culture of everybody knowing what each other is working on.
On such days we are normally attending just a blur of meetings, because we can be involved with anything between six to 10 client conversations at a time.
At around 3 or 4 pm daily, normally we go back over the day and make sure we have not forgotten things.
The challenge is you think you’ll do A, B, and C, and you end up doing X, Y, and Z – it’s always urgent that gets done and not the important. It’s about being disciplined on a daily basis.
We all try and make sure there’s at least an hour of family time in the evening. We’re normally done with dinner by 8pm and then we read and catch up with the world.
Individually we all try to spend more time on each one of our passion, which can be writing/Music/Instruments/Singing/Reading etc. Impact of technology on culture is really fascinating. It has started to seep into everything: how we live and love, our politics and our societies. And there are the ethical aspects too.
We’re on the cusp of a healthcare revolution. Over the next 10 years, healthcare will become unrecognizable – from how we understand the human body to how we deal with diseases. It’s all going to change. And then we have a planet to save, and a lot of what we know of as work will get redefined. Every new and exciting technology solves a layer of problems, often creating new ones. How can you not be absorbed in these tides of change?
So yes, We @ ANAV are always aiming to look ahead to what’s coming down the pipe. It’s a privilege to be able to do that as part of our respective job!
