Transformation & Delivery

Leading change from roadmap to live systems, for SMEs and for divisions within larger organisations.

Most transformation programmes do not fail for lack of strategy. They fail in the gap between the strategy deck and the systems people actually use. Our work sits in that gap.

We have run digital transformation programmes for SMEs and for divisions in banking, defence, communications and IT-services organisations. We have helped scale-ups find operational efficiencies they did not know were available. And where the right system did not exist, we have built it.

What we do

  • Roadmap and strategy. Research, analysis and a practical roadmap that matches your goals to a realistic sequence of change.
  • Programme and delivery leadership. Owning delivery end to end: scope, suppliers, teams, risk, and the awkward conversations.
  • Operational efficiency. Finding where time and money leak out of your processes, and fixing it.
  • Turn-key solutions. Where a product does not fit, we design, build and hand over a working system with the documentation and tests to run it.
  • Technology due diligence and architecture. An independent view of what you have, what you are being sold, and what you actually need.

Who this is for

  • Small and medium-sized businesses taking on change that is bigger than their internal team.
  • Divisions of larger organisations that need delivery capability without a large consultancy's overheads.
  • Scale-ups whose processes have not kept pace with their growth.

How an engagement usually runs

  1. Discovery. A short, fixed piece of work to understand the problem and agree what success looks like.
  2. Roadmap. A sequenced plan with costs, risks and decision points.
  3. Delivery. Led by us, with your team and suppliers, through to live.
  4. Handover. Documentation, training and a clean exit. We do not design in dependence on ourselves.

Experience

This practice is led by Pawan Sharma, who has 28 years in technology: compliance technology leadership at Bank of America Merrill Lynch, chief technology officer and head-of-function roles in start-ups and scale-ups, and digital transformation programme leadership for a UK defence technology services company.
