What companies prioritize is creating value and their customers. Unsurprisingly, the insights, best practices and free resources that transformation projects tend to need are often lacking. The ball is always in the customers’ court and they’re the ones who have to find solutions. Outsiders can’t climb the mountain for you - but they can make it less daunting. External experts can bring experience, methods, tools and templates on board for the right input and impetus at the right time, ask the key questions and plan, steer and drive.

Our best practices, methods, tools and templates for transformation projects are all you need to set out the red lines and roadmaps which make your projects feasible. We’re your script and soundtrack in other words. We propose agile but feasible ways to transform, aligned with our customers’ current REALITY, scope to change and goals. We plan and manage projects to keep everyone’s onboarding in sync with the project phases, work packages and milestones. Instead of blanket support for the project team and steering board, we provide it as and when needed to promote autonomy. We can’t run the marathon for our customer - but we’re an unbeatable pacemaker. From start to finish, we tailor a pace and tempo that stretch you but get you to the summit - stronger and wiser.

Once the major investment budgets have been discussed, new departmental organigrams done, new processes outlined, licenses purchased and the new managerial principles drawn on a flip chart for senior management... that’s when you think it’s in the bag.

Unfortunately, this may soon prove over-optimistic. So what’s the issue? Falling flat, despite top-tier strategies, consultants, management principles and IT solutions? Blame the disruptive and ever-unpredictable human factor. For transformation to happen, the people involved have to be allowed, willing and able. And that, in turn, depends on challenging and supporting them in a targeted way.
