our agenda

our purpose

As business leaders know, every organisational function is having to manage the pressure of change and disruption. Smart, effective execution of digital strategy and transformative change is critical to remain competitive.

Our purpose is to represent our customers to do just that.

Balancing growth and a digital ambition

Balancing aspirations of growth, a digital ambition and real world constraints

Balancing growth and a digital ambition is all-consuming. We think the most transformational activity is overstated. It is often tackled within a framework of known constraints that is not transformation, that’s making something less broken. We specialise in finance, sales and procurement operation transformation.

Addressing sustainable advantage

Addressing pressures for workforce flexibility to enable sustainable competitive advantage

We see business agility as a fundamental organisational objective to enable transformation, the subtle distinction between agile and agility. We appreciate the business challenges of evolving ways-of-working and the changing venn diagram of employee, competency, capability and technology tools that are disrupting change momentum.

Mastering the challenges of change

Master the challenges and opportunities of fundamental business model change

Transformative change can only be successful if the change is embedded in new ways of working. Deploying a new technology tool set often over shadow the often more difficult aspects of making the change relevant to the business, customer and workforce. And importantly, making that change stick without disrupting all the parts of the business that are sound, be it culture, reputation or an ability to service customer.

Designing for a meaningful impact

Designing for a positive and meaningful impact to experiences and lives

Customer attraction, acquisition and retention continue to be the centre-piece of most transformative business cases. We see the role innovation, experience and service design can play for a pragmatic organisation dealing with conflicting priorities. We see the pending mesh of experience, service design and more traditional analysis capabilities. We see an industry currently fixated with a title rather than the outcome. We think that’s not quite right and we look to make a positive difference.
