What we do.
· 0 1

Vendor selection.

A scripted demo programme. We write the script, run the room, score against your operating reality — not the vendor's slideware. Ends in a recommendation, not a shortlist.

Duration6 — 8 wks
· 0 2

Target operating model.

How the function works on the day after go-live. Process map, RACI, capacity model, the one decision log everyone refers to. Designed to survive the software, not the other way around.

Duration4 — 6 wks
· 0 3

Business case.

A three-page board paper with the numbers behind it. Investment, run-state, payback, the two assumptions that matter. Written to be approved, not admired.

Programme governance.

Steering rhythm, stage gates, escalation paths, owner of the change log. We design the governance you'll run yourself, then exit cleanly — usually by week 6.

Three phases. One decision per phase.

P h a s e   0 1

Frame.

Listen, read, walk the floor. Restate the problem in two pages, in your words. End-of-phase decision: do we proceed, and on what scope.

P h a s e   0 2

Test.

Run the work — demos, models, reference calls, structured options. Bring three to five concrete answers, scored against the frame.

P h a s e   0 3

Recommend.

A signed recommendation, with the two assumptions it rests on. Plus a 14-week plan and a run-book the next team can pick up.

They were the only ones who walked in with a plan — not a pitch.
