Business, Technology and Organisational Transformation
From leading strategic M&A’s at global scale to deploying a single industry expert into an important meeting for an hour… we’re fast becoming the go-to alternative to Top4 consultancies and large systems integrators.
15 Years of Outstanding Client Delivery
We Provide High Class, Unbiased, Highly Capable and Effective Consulting and Delivery
We are famous for our ‘big things’… like leading large Financial Services M&A’s under heavy regulatory supervision, corporate turnarounds or restructures. We’re often found designing, leading, or ‘recovering’ global scale transformation programmes or delivering complex technology strategies and systems integrations, often when others have failed.
Yet we deliver clients value every day, through much simpler activities. Like providing managed project, assurance, technology or change teams or deploying individual consultants or fractional leaders via our Professional Services business. Or maybe the odd ‘quick phone call’ to brainstorm a pressing issue as a critical friend.
