Auxilion's Digital Transformation Director, Sean Kennedy, on how effective Demand Management can provide crucial support to your 2026 business strategy
Somehow, we’re already at back-to-school time. This is also the time when businesses intensify their thinking about year-end targets and strategy for next year. For some organisations, a feeling of slight panic may already be setting in. However, with detailed analysis and careful planning, there is still time to adapt and advance business strategy for 2026. Let’s discuss how Demand Management can help.
The Year So Far
For many businesses, the score card for 2025 so far probably features some big successes, some ‘still to play for,’ and some projects and plans that, inevitably, look due to be pushed into 2026. This can provide some more clarity on exactly what the year ahead looks like. As the scramble to hit end-of-year targets kicks in and plans are laid for 2026, the pressure on various areas of a business tend to increase. This is particularly true for IT departments.
Business communities will be asking IT departments what projects they can deliver, when they can be completed, how much they will cost, what additional resources they may require…
End-to-End Demand Management
These are crucial questions that put the capacity of an IT department in the spotlight. This is where Auxilion’s End-to-End Demand Management process can provide crucial support. Your organisation may want to take advantage of the full, comprehensive process, or just access some of our key tools and consultancy support.
Our Demand Management process will help you to accurately match supply with demand, as illustrated in the graphic below.
Our Demand Management process provides:
- A clear view of your capacity
- The impact of overspill from 2025 on your 2026 IT strategy
- An efficient and reliable way to scope business projects
- Clarity around priorities
This comprehensive process means you won’t have to juggle balls regarding current delivery, ongoing service, and future proofing. You will have a clear system in place and a clear view of necessary resource allocation and scheduling. It will also help you to keep pace with cybersecurity and AI requirements (which of course have to be mentioned in any self-respecting IT blog in 2025!).
