Technology advisory, project management & support

Senior judgement, before, during, and after.

Guidance for organisations that need a technology partner rather than a vendor: strategy, procurement, oversight of implementations, and the support agreement that keeps everything running once the project teams have gone home.

ListenBoard, management, and frontline interviews: what the business needs technology to do.
2
RoadmapA sequenced plan with costs, dependencies, and decision gates. What to do, stop, and leave alone.
3
OverseeWe manage vendors and timeline and report weekly. Your interests, not the supplier's.
4
SupportA service agreement with response times, a named contact, and a quarterly review.

Good fit when

  • An implementation that is late, over budget, or drifting
  • A need for senior support without a full-time hire
