Framing workshop
1 to 2 days
An intensive session with your decision-makers to clarify the ambition, align expectations and produce a prioritized initiative list.
Ideal when you need to decide fast
Transformation and advisory
A clear direction before the first line of code.
We turn scattered digital intentions into a single roadmap: costed, sequenced, defensible to your leadership and actionable from the very next quarter.
The four cardinal points of a strategy
North - Ambition
Business goals translated into digital outcomes
East - Capabilities
Teams, data, systems and partners available
South - Constraints
Budget, compliance, technical debt and change capacity
West - Sequence
What we deliver first, and why
Starting point
Do at least three of these signals sound familiar?
These are not technical problems: they are symptoms of an implicit digital strategy. Making it explicit is already half the work.
- Digital projects running in parallel, with no clear arbitration.
- Overlapping tools and data that contradict itself.
- An IT budget that is hard to defend to leadership or the board.
- Technology decisions made case by case, with no target state.
- Heavy dependency on a few key people.
- Many AI ideas, few genuinely costed use cases.
Our work
Four axes behind every engagement.
Maturity assessment
We measure your starting point across six dimensions: processes, data, systems, security, skills and governance. Each dimension gets a score, factual findings and recommendations ranked by effort and impact.
Interviews with business and IT stakeholders
Application and data-flow mapping
Maturity score benchmarked against your sector
Cadence
The first 90 days.
A useful strategy is built quickly. Here is the rhythm we hold on most engagements.
Days 0 – 30
Understand
- Interviews and collection of existing data
- Process and system mapping
- Maturity score and shared findings
Days 30 – 60
Decide
- Target-architecture framing workshops
- Budget arbitration and prioritization
- Roadmap validated by leadership
Days 60 – 90
Kick off
- Launch of the first quick-value initiative
- Governance and indicators put in place
- First quarterly review scheduled
Deliverables
What you keep at the end.
Living documents written to be used - not a deck sleeping in a shared drive.
01
Assessment report
Findings, maturity score per dimension and identified risks, backed by field data.
02
Target architecture diagram
View of systems, integrations and data flows, in both leadership and technical versions.
03
One-page roadmap
Sequenced initiatives, dependencies, milestones and expected benefits over 12 to 24 months.
04
Budget estimate
Cost ranges per initiative, recurring costs and stated assumptions.
05
Indicator framework
Value, adoption and reliability indicators, with how each is calculated.
06
Change management plan
Stakeholders, key messages, training and adoption milestones per team.
Measurement
A strategy proves itself with numbers.
We define with you the indicators that matter, how they are calculated and how often they are reviewed.
| Indicator | How it is calculated | Frequency |
|---|---|---|
| Case processing time | Gap between average lead time before and after the initiative | Quarterly |
| Share of tool-supported processes | Critical processes covered by a tool / total | Half-yearly |
| Tool adoption rate | Weekly active users / target users | Monthly |
| Master data reliability | Share of complete, non-duplicated records | Quarterly |
| Roadmap progress | Milestones delivered / milestones planned for the period | Monthly |
Formats
Three ways to start.
Full assessment
4 to 8 weeks
Our most requested format: assessment, target architecture, costed roadmap and governance, delivered across three review sessions.
Ideal ahead of a budget cycle or an RFP
Fractional digital leadership
Ongoing engagement
A strategic partner alongside you a few days a month to steer the roadmap, arbitrate and challenge your vendors.
Ideal without an in-house CIO
FAQ
Questions we are asked.
No. Most of our engagements start from symptoms - slowness, duplication, lack of visibility. Our job is precisely to turn those symptoms into clear, costed initiatives.
