Meticulous discovery and well-planned integration are the solid foundations we build on.
We understand the business drivers, plan precisely, manage risk and secure stability.
A merger of a different kind with it's own unique complexities. Different entities, different cultures, duplication of roles.
Sometimes the smallest changes can have the biggest impact on process improvement and costs.

We listen, question, advise, plan. We remove problems. Solve what is getting in the way. We cut through and see clearly what needs to be done. We understand your business and partner with you to deliver timely, cost effective and strategic outcomes.
Understanding you
It all starts with a conversation. We get to know you, you get to know us. We analyse the project and complete a full diagnosis. We listen. We talk through ideas, suggestions, risks, issues, timings, dependencies and propose options for different scenarios and outcomes.
The proposal
We write a proposal for the project and outline the process strategy. Process dictates the technology, not the other way round. We plan. We work out how to maintain business continuity and minimise disruption. Once agreed, a full scoping document is written to define the project and includes the parameters of our involvement, costs and timelines.
Implementation
We like to get things done. We see the project through from start to finish, no barriers, no excuses. We are part of your team. We project manage, lead, direct and advise. Did we say we listen? Absolutely ... communication is key to success.
Adoption
People power. The process and technology are in place, but neither will work without the human touch. We are complex beings and cultures become ingrained. With change comes emotion and managing change means sensitivity. We coach, support, document and train, guiding everyone through to the end. And then we want you to go onwards. Grow as a business, meet your potential.
Assessment
We aim to leave you with the tools to manage this in-house. A completed project often raises questions within another area of the business and we'd like to help with that. But we have no desire to overstay our welcome. We’ll give you the initial remedy… help you construct, configure, and focus yourselves. If you get stuck, we’ll be there. But only so you can carry on. So we can let you flourish.
