OUR WORK
Complex environments.
Practical change.
Selected experience across the services and infrastructure that organisations depend on.
GOVERNMENT
One operating model. A clearer route to procurement.
- The challenge
- A government organisation needed to turn competing design options into one coherent model for a complex multi-provider environment.
- Our contribution
- Consolidated the target operating model, clarified retained-client and delegated-integrator authority, and aligned roles, governance and interfaces with the Lead Integrator service specification.
- Results to date
- A coherent, traceable design baseline connecting the operating model to procurement and future assurance, with clearer authority and interfaces.
ENERGY & UTILITIES
Bringing structure to complex transformation.
- The challenge
- A major energy and utilities organisation needed a more coordinated approach to IT and digital transformation, connecting investment priorities, delivery plans and accountability.
- Our contribution
- Led the development of the transformation management blueprint and coordinated successful programme delivery, bringing together portfolio prioritisation, governance, assurance, change adoption and benefits management.
- The outcome
- Introduced a governance cycle and portfolio reporting, established clearer ownership and agreed priorities, and put a consistent framework for transformation oversight into use.
CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE
Restoring control across a multi-provider environment.
- The challenge
- A UK critical national infrastructure organisation relied on one Tier 1 managed service provider, with control, knowledge and delivery concentrated in that supplier.
- Our contribution
- Defined the disaggregation roadmap, decomposed the service into 11 contracts and established an internal Integration Management Service while managing the incumbent exit and mobilisation of the new model.
- The outcome
- Control returned to the organisation. Integration became an explicit retained capability, creating a platform for further selective disaggregation and innovation.
