Digital solutions for real-world challenges

How we help
Practical, tailored advice and a clear path forward
Regardless of your industry or the size of your organization, from early or growth stage to mature operations, asking the right questions ahead of time can help you manage risks and maximize the value of the technology your business uses or creates.
With a wealth of experience in digital transformation projects, our team knows what to expect from third-party suppliers and what to push for to make a project successful.
1. Discover
We meet with the key stakeholders on your team to understand your organization’s current state, identifying the challenges you face with existing systems and assessing your current processes and digital governance. We learn about your desired future state, identifying requirements and defining success for the project, clarifying your strategic objectives and crafting a compelling vision for digital transformation.
2. Plan & prepare
We develop a practical roadmap for your project that anticipates common issues, avoids common pitfalls and proactively mitigates risk.
This includes advice on:
- Creating meaningful internal milestones and realistic schedule for your team
- Establishing a realistic scope of work and de-scoping if necessary
- Cultivating a positive project environment and encouraging buy-in and decision-maker support
- Agreeing on a joint communication plan with vendor
- Implementing formal/agile project management
- Determining gates for continued go/no decisions
- Risk management and contingency planning
- Monitoring and reporting on progress

We negotiate fair and reasonable sharing of financial impacts and create realistic go-forward plans and agreements. We can also assist with a transition if the vendor relationship is beyond repair.
