Our Services

  • Turn your vision for transformation into an achievable plan

    The problem:

    You know where you want to go but you don’t know how to get there. You aren’t getting value from your investment in technology.

    What we do:

    • Create realistic, achievable and affordable technology roadmaps

    • Build business cases that actually get funded

    • Help you prioritise what matters most

  • Know if you are ready for transformation before you spend the money

    The problem:

    You are about to invest a significant sum of money in a major change programme. Previous change initiatives have stalled or failed to deliver the expected benefits. You don’t know if you are now ready to actually deliver this one.

    What we do:

    • Assess your organisation’s readiness for change

    • Identify gaps in governance, capability, and capacity

    • Evaluate leadership alignment and decision-making effectiveness

    • Actionable recommendations to improve your chances of success

    Bottom line:

    Avoid embarking on change programmes that are set up to fail.

  • Get senior technology leadership without the senior salary

    The problem:

    You need strategic, executive level technology guidance but can’t justify the cost of a full-time Chief Information Officer (CIO) role. Your current team is lacking senior, strategic experience. The board and senior management team needs independent advice they can trust, not supplier sales pitches.

    What we do:

    • Provide part-time / fractional CIO expertise and strategic oversight

    • Review major technology decisions before you commit

    • Mentor and develop your existing technology team

    • Provide independent advice to board and executive team

    • Ensure technology projects deliver business value

    • Bridge the gap between business strategy and technology delivery

    What you get:

    • CIO-level expertise at a fraction of the full-time cost

    • Independent technology advice free from vendor bias

    • Better technology investment decisions

    • Better supported, stronger and more confident internal team

    • Transformation roadmap continues to develop and be aligned with business goals

    Get the strategic technology leadership you need without the salary costs.

  • Get your transformation projects delivered successfully - or get them back on track.

    The problem:

    You don’t have the internal expertise to manage complex change programmes that involve technology. Your current project is behind schedule, over budget, or not delivering what was promised. You need experienced people to either deliver successfully or rescue what’s going wrong.

    What we do:

    • Provide executive level technology expertise

    • Bridge capability gaps in your teams with experienced resources e.g. project managers, business analysts, change managers

    • Manage vendors and suppliers to ensure delivery

    • Implement effective governance and risk management

    • Rapidly assess and stabilise failing projects

    • Recover projects that have gone of the rails

    What you get:

    • Experienced transformation and project leadership from people who have delivered similar projects before

    • Honest assessment of failing projects with clear recovery plans

    • Knowledge transfer and upskilling of your staff to strengthen your internal capability

    • Reduced risk of projects failing

    Bottom line:

    Deliver your transformation projects successfully or recover them before they fail completely.

  • Cut through the hype and buy technology, data and AI solutions that deliver real value.

    The problem:

    You're overwhelmed by technology options and AI promises that sound too good to be true. Vendors sell you what they have, not what you need. You risk buying expensive systems that don't fit your business needs, or jumping on AI trends that deliver no real value.

    What we do:

    • Clarify what you need before talking to vendors about potential solutions

    • Carry out an initial, independent assessment based on your requirements before presenting you with the options

    • Run a fair and competitive requirements based tender process using our proven procurement framework

    • Secure favourable payment terms, exit clauses and SLAs

    What you get:

    • Clear requirements

    • Technology that meets your needs and supports your transformation objectives

    • Solutions that integrate with technology you already have

    • Protection from vendor lock-in and unfavourable terms

    • Better prices and contract terms

    • A robust, reusable procurement process that stands up to scrutiny

    Bottom line:

    Get technology, AI and data solutions that deliver real business value, not just follow the latest trends.

  • Keep your organisation running if the worst happens

    The problem:

    Your cyber insurance won’t cover you if you haven’t followed best practices for cyber security. A successful attack could shut down your business for days or weeks, damage your reputation, and result in regulatory fines. You're not sure if you're properly protected.

    What we do

    • Assess your cyber resilience and cyber security effectiveness to identify vulnerabilities and improvements

    • Create a cyber resilience risk log and identify mitigating actions

    • Support you in achieving Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus certification.

    • Create a cyber resilience strategy

    • Create practical incident response and recovery plans

    • Provide effective cyber awareness training that is more than a ‘tick in the box’ exercise

    • Build resilience so you can operate through attacks

    What you get:

    • Confidence for you and your customers that you have taken sufficient steps to protect your systems and data

    • Improved protection from cyber security threats

    • Compliance with customer, supplier and regulatory cyber security requirements

    • Improved business continuity in the likelihood of a cyber attach

    Bottom line: Reduce cyber risk, keep your data and systems safe, and keep your business running when attacks happen.

  • Get affordable expert advice when you need it

    The problem:

    You're facing specific technology or change challenges. You need advice from someone who's actually done it before, but you can't afford full-time consultants or commit to long-term contracts. You need expert input now, for a short period of time.

    What we do:

    • Provide flexible access to senior-level experts when you need them

    • Offer targeted advice on specific challenges you're facing right now

    • Provide practical experience from professionals who've led major change initiatives

    • Deliver timely input without long-term commitments or minimum engagements

    • Available by the hour, day, or short project

    • Flexible engagement - use us when you need us

    • No minimum commitments or retainer fees

    Bottom Line: Get senior-level expertise and advice exactly when you need it.

  • Make your suppliers accountable, be a good customer, reduce costs and get more value for money.

    The problem:

    Your vendors aren't delivering what they promised. Costs keep creeping up with little justification. When things go wrong, no one takes responsibility. Your contracts don't protect you, and you have no leverage to demand better performance or fair pricing.

    What we do:

    • Review and renegotiate contracts that don't work in your favour

    • Set up appropriate vendor performance monitoring and reporting

    • Resolve disputes and mend relationships quickly so they don’t escalate to legal action

    • Benchmark costs against current market rates

    What you get:

    • Vendors who deliver on time, on budget and to specification

    • Clear accountability when things go wrong

    • Better value for money through proper contract management

    • Reduced business risk from vendor failures

    • Solid vendor relationships based on performance, not promises

    • Exit strategies when vendors consistently underperform

    Bottom Line:

    Stop accepting poor vendor performance and get more value from your existing contracts
