Have you got something you want to publish, and need to know how to go about it?
Publishing anything, let alone for the first time, can be daunting. There are a lot of questions you need to find answers to, and a lot of decisions to be made. What are we going to publish? How can we find out if there is a market for our product? How long will it take? How much will it cost? How do we get it printed? How many should we print? How do we distribute it?
OPC works with you to define the questions you need to ask and helps you find the answers as the project develops. We provide coaching inputs to develop and strengthen your publishing skills, as well as project management so that your product gets to market on time, at the right price, and looking good.
Do you want to get to grips with digital technology, so that it works for you?
The latest digital technology is out there being harnessed to produce new publishing projects and the way they are published – the web, e-books, print on demand. It is a complex and fast moving area, with enormous potential. But it can be difficult to know which way to turn, which direction to take, even what to do once a decision has been made.
This is where OPC comes in, with its depth of strategic and practical experience, to work with you to develop, and implement if needed, the most effective way forward for your organisation.
Do you want to green your products?
Green products and green publishing are high on the agenda of corporate social responsibility, and they also provide competitive advantage in an increasingly aware market. Going green is a continuous process – an evolution – and the more one does it, the greater the impact on the organisation, its products and the market.
OPC is increasingly involved with green issues, from how and where to start, to producing sustainable strategies that make it possible for businesses to achieve their green objectives.
Is it time for your organisation to review and rethink its strategy?
A well thought out, up-to-date strategy is vital to the efficient running and growth of any organisation. When a strategy works the organisation generally thrives. When a strategy fails to work, the organisation starts to languish. When this happens it is time for the organisation to review and rethink its strategy.
During strategy review, OPC works closely with the organisation to diagnose the situation and suggest possible ways forward. This involves looking at the resources available in terms of people, time, money, skills, and how these might be best deployed in a range of strategic possibilities. Finally, we provide support for strategy implementation, as well as means for monitoring and evaluating its success and its internal and external impact.
