Consulting practice
Business and ICT strategies and plans that are grounded in risk, governance and systems thinking.
A strategy is only useful if it changes what the organisation funds and does next. Our strategy consulting assesses where you are, defines where you need to be and sets out a plan that people can execute and measure.
We base strategy work on enterprise thinking: risk, governance, compliance, analysis and systems thinking are part of the method, not separate exercises. That means the strategy accounts for regulatory obligations, the constraints of current systems and the capacity of the teams who will deliver it.
A typical engagement starts with an assessment of the current business and ICT strategy, the portfolio of initiatives already under way, and the performance measures in use. We then work with leadership to agree priorities, define the target state and build a roadmap with owners, sequencing and dependencies.
Where you need ongoing support, we also supply automated solutions for strategy, planning and performance management, so progress against the plan is visible without manual reporting. If you need a quick start, the ICT strategy FastTrack produces a practical strategy and roadmap in a short, fixed-scope engagement.
Business
Tools that link strategy to measurable targets and report progress across the organisation.
Business
Architecture modelling tools that map capabilities, applications and technology to support decisions.
Business
GRC software that keeps policies, risks, controls and evidence in one place for assurance.
It depends on the size of the organisation and how much is already documented. The ICT strategy FastTrack is the quickest route; a full strategy with stakeholder workshops and a detailed roadmap takes longer. We agree the scope and timeline before we start.
Both. We define strategies and plans, and we can manage the programme that implements them, as we have done for a business services organisation.
Every strategic objective is linked to performance measures and owners. Where useful, we supply performance management tools so progress is reported from live data rather than spreadsheets.
A fixed-scope assessment shows where you stand and what to fix first. Tell us what you need and we will propose the right one.
