Business Consultancy

Not every stalled transformation needs an interim manager. Sometimes the team is right, the budget is there, and what is missing is a frank outside read. That is a consultancy assignment: I look, I tell you what I see, and you keep the wheel.

When advice is enough

• The team can do the work. But nobody can say with confidence what is really blocking it.
• A decision is on the table that is expensive to get wrong. A vendor, a platform, a reorganisation.
• The board hears one story, the engineers tell another. Both are partly right.
• You want a second opinion first. Before you commit to a mandate, a hire or a rebuild.

What I look at

In a stalled transformation the question is almost always the same: is this a software problem, an ownership problem or an adoption problem? Each needs a different fix, and the wrong fix makes it worse.

I read the architecture myself, so I can tell a delay that is technically legitimate from organisational friction dressed up as a technical problem. And I have carried the whole weight as managing director: when I read your architecture, I am also reading your P&L.

Where I advise

Digital transformation, operational improvement, CRM strategy, data quality and governance, and change management.

How it works

It starts with listening. I have two ears and one mouth, and I try to use them in that proportion. Then I talk to the people who do the work, not only to the people who report on it.

What you get back is short and written down: what I see, what I think it is, and what I would do next. If you need it, I also help with the next step: managing the roll-out or the execution of the plan.

If the answer is that you need more than advice, I will say so. If you do not, I will say that too.
