consulting
Your business needs are unique. Each business has its own distinctive objectives and desired outcomes. Its own strengths, weaknesses, and resources.
Whether you are looking for a little guidance from time to time (one of our clients calls us the "ITIL Whisperer"), or for support for a large scale project of a year or more, Deep Creek's teams are skilled consultants who will help you make practical decisions about how to leverage good practices and industry tools to support your needs.
One of the most challenging parts of implementing best practices is translating them to actual performance in the workplace. Deep Creek can help you break this vicious cycle and help you find your missing links. Whether it's writing user guides, building process workflows, or just facilitating workshops to help you develop the right questions to ask and the order you want to answer them, Deep Creek can help you build practices that are consistent, sustainable, and that will help you optimize your IT investments regardless of the tool, framework (NIST, ITIL, Agile, COBIT) or current governing structure.
We don’t come in knowing the answers to your problems. We help you unleash your teams to find solutions that work well for you.
Our customers are the smartest people in their businesses; we help organizations identify and prioritize their options so they can make their own best choices.
Deep Creek Consulting services include capabilities such as: Procedures and Work Instructions, Tool Assessment, Road Maps, Simulations, Facilitation, Workshops, and Keynote Speaking.
Best Practices are often presented as “Silver Bullets,” but we know in the real world a Best Practice is only as good as its implementation. Using a framework effectively takes practical experience in real world settings, Deep Creek’s experts have experience not only implementing frameworks, but in teaching businesses how to adapt them to their own organizations. In addition to direct consulting, Deep Creek Center offers in-depth workshops and simulations that help your organization build buy-in, commitment, and excitement among IT teams and customer stakeholders alike. If your company is just introducing a new Best Practice, we can help with that too- Deep Creek offers world class certification programs in NIST, ITIL, Agile, and COBIT among others.
Cyber
Security
Cyber-Security is the business equivalent of a national military. It is, perhaps, the most important and most difficult aspect of business safety today. In this large, rapidly changing environment, it is critical that priorities are clear and well-understood. From the Board room to the loading dock, IT affects every stakeholder.
Using the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, Deep Creek Center will help organizations of all sizes and maturity levels to identify and prioritize their cybersecurity investments. We translate very technical security activities and practice areas into consumable business language suitable for meaningful discussions with all business stakeholders, including the C-suite and the Board. We also help the IT staff determine and establish a security beachhead, drive optimization and improvement, and provide an effective roadmap for implementation activities.
With the threats today delivering projects on time, on budget, and at the appropriate level of quality is more critical than ever.
ITIL
Organizations implementing ITIL and ISO 20000 often struggle to achieve the desired objectives. Deep Creek helps organizations transform their use of ITSM practices through a series of simulation, workshop training and consulting practices to help and enterprise save money and improve quality of service.

Agile/scrum
Most organizations are beginning or have begun moving to the use of Agile practices, including Scrum, Kanban, and LEAN, among others. Deep Creek helps organizations adopt and adapt Agile practices to improve responsiveness and service quality.

Tools
Deep Creek Center is tool agnostic. We work for you, not the tool developer.
Every successful tool rollout begins with a detailed set of requirements, clarity on the interconnected needs of multiple process or project areas and integrated sets of knowledge to support management objectives. While there are many tools that CAN support these needs, without the correct awareness of the processes and procedural disciplines needed to produce that information, the tools and initiatives will ultimately fail. Deep Creek Center is tool agnostic. We want to work with your business to help you align your processes and tools with a strategic view of overall IT and business governance objectives. We work for you, not the tool developer. If you are not getting the results you expected from your ITSM or PPM investments, talk to us. We can help you get back on track and start gaining the returns you expected from your investment.
Governance
One of the fundamental problems organizations face is establishing clear lines of authority and control when provisioning and delivering cross-functional processes and services. Deep Creek helps its customers identify key roles and responsibilities, establish communications architectures, and facilitate better collaboration.
