Every firm you are talking to
looks exactly the same.
They have the same deck, the same delivery model and the same three case studies. The difference is not in the pitch. It is in who actually turns up, and what you are paying them for.
What you will be sold
- A partner at the pitch, an associate on the programme
- A pyramid, priced by the head and staffed by availability
- A methodology deck, and a discovery phase to fill in later
- An SI or software alliance you are never told about
- Time. Billed by the hour, indexed to how long it takes
What you get here
- The people in the room are the people who do the work
- Operators who have run the function and carried the budget
- Our AI on your estate in week one, not in a later phase
- No vendor alliances, no commission, no next phase to sell
- Results. Defined up front, with a break clause every month
Three disciplines. One firm.
Optimisation finds the money. Programme delivery protects where it goes next. AI changes how the business runs after that.
Digital optimisation
The estate you already own, read in full and made smaller. Four service lines run as one initiative.
- Strategic vendor negotiation
- Long tail spend
- Software consolidation
- Architecture as a Service
Programme delivery
The programme you are about to spend on, run from your side of the table rather than the integrator's.
- SAP S/4HANA
- Oracle, Infor and Dynamics 365
- Integrator selection and commercial assurance
- Programme mobilisation and recovery
- Enterprise architecture and data
AI enterprise readiness & delivery
The organisation made ready for AI, then the AI delivered: business-led, technically strong, built at scale.
- AI readiness assessment
- Use case and value case
- Data and platform foundations
- Build and deployment
- Governance, risk and adoption
Cyber security
IT and OT security assessed as one market rather than two. Capability requirements set with the business, the supplier market mapped against them, and an investment sequence you can take into governance.
RAMP marketplace
Our Resource Augmentation Marketplace: senior, vetted practitioners and partner firms, shortlisted in days. Technology and transformation first, the wider business next.
Four service lines.
One initiative.
They are never sold separately, because they are not separate problems. An assessment is how you enter the work.
Strategic vendor negotiation
We have led the SAP and Service Integrator negotiations on programmes of over £200m. You enter the tender with leverage, not dependency, and the terms are settled while the leverage is still yours.
Long tail spend
The spend nobody owns, aggregated and attacked. Hundreds of small contracts, renewals and licences assessed together rather than one at a time, because that is where the money quietly sits.
Software consolidation
Our decision platform compares every application against every other at feature level. You get an evidenced keep, swap, possible or defer call on each one, in days, not months.
Architecture as a Service
Senior architects and a design authority on subscription, drawn down when the decisions are live. The estate is designed for the business, not by the integrator.
Removed before it is contracted, not recovered afterwards.
On your estate from week one. Our tooling, your data, evidenced output.
Redesigned while the design is still open, not after the SI freezes it.
A smaller estate to migrate, fewer interfaces to build, less to run.
Organisations our people have delivered for.
The bench, not the CV.
We deploy a collective rather than individuals: group technology leaders, programme directors, design authorities and AI practitioners who have held the accountability, carried the budget and answered to a board. You get the mix the programme needs, at the level it needs.
A £1bn programme, reset in place.
After the Walmart separation we stabilised and reset the Future Programme: restructuring 144 projects into six integrated programmes, bringing business, technology and partner leadership under one governance approach, and resetting the commercial agreements with SAP, Blue Yonder, Manhattan, Salesforce, Microsoft and TCS.
We built the firm
we wanted to hire.
Five things that separate us from the firms you would otherwise be choosing between. They are not positioning. They are how the firm is owned, staffed and paid.
Independent by design
- Independently owned and financed, with no individual sales targets
- No vendor or SI alliances, and no commission from any software we recommend keeping or removing
- Your agenda, no one else's
- We tell you what we think, including when it is unwelcome
Partners do the work
- You get the people you met at the pitch
- Partners average over twenty years, our people over fifteen
- Small teams, and no pyramid to feed
- A small senior team costs less than a large mixed one
Hands-on delivery
- Senior practitioners who have carried the accountability, not advisers who have described it
- We have run these programmes, not only advised on them
- Rigour, explained simply, with cross-industry insight behind it
- Practical from day one, because we know where this goes wrong
We step back
- Bandwidth to your leadership team, with you rather than to you
- Knowledge transfer from the first week
- We build the capability inside your team
- We plan our exit from the start
AI native by default
- Built around AI from day one, with our tooling on your estate from week one
- Analysis in days, not months
- AI at machine speed, judgement at practitioner level
- More insight, faster, for less
We sit in the business, not in IT. Outcomes lead and technology follows. Business-led, AI-first, delivered by senior practitioners who partner with you, not consultants who simply advise you.
