Turning Strategy Into Execution

 

Big ideas only matter if they can be delivered. We help organisations bridge the gap between strategy and execution, providing the structure to define where you are now, where you need to be, and the steps to get there with confidence.

Our services span from digital and data strategy through to AI acceleration, government change planning, and solution design. We build business capability models, define target states, and create roadmaps that make transformation real, ensuring clarity on direction, momentum in delivery, and change that lasts.

Strategy & Intent

 

Enterprise Business Intent

Defining what good looks like

Enterprise Business Intent brings the whole organisation around a shared view of the outcomes that matter, the problems that need fixing, the tactical priorities that can’t be ignored, and the longer-term goals to aim for. It recognises your starting point and builds on any prior work, so the picture of “what good looks like” is both practical and achievable.

With this clarity, change stays focused on business needs, priorities are tackled in the right order, and effort goes into doing the right things, the right way.

 

Strategic Operating Model Determination

Where to standardise

A Strategic Operating Model sets the level of process standardisation and integration across business units. Getting this balance right is key, too much standardisation can stifle flexibility, too little can drive up cost and complexity.

Finding the right model for your organisation ensures capability is standardised where it adds value, while leaving room for differentiation where it’s needed. The result is greater agility, lower cost, and the ability to respond with confidence as priorities shift.

 

Business Capability Model Development

A model of what your business does

A Business Capability Model creates a shared view of what your organisation does, not how or who does it. Because these capabilities change far less often than processes or structures, the model becomes a stable foundation for planning.

That stability means you can map systems, investment, and change against it with confidence. It gives leaders a common language to cut through silos, align priorities, and make better decisions about where to focus effort and spend.

 

Assessment & Design

 

Current State Solutions Assessment

Where are you now?

Every organisation carries a mix of systems, some essential, some redundant, and some no longer fit for purpose. A Current State Solutions Assessment identifies where there’s costly overlap, where gaps exist, and how well your current solutions actually support your strategy.

By understanding this baseline, leaders can make clearer decisions about what to keep, what to change, and where to invest. It’s the starting point for reducing waste, closing critical gaps, and building a technology environment that truly enables the business.

 

Domain Reference Architecture Development

What good looks like for a design domain

Every organisation has key design domains, from security to data and beyond. Domain Reference Architecture Development defines what “good” looks like in each of these areas for your organisation. It creates a reference architecture as a guide, a common language for the domain, and a set of principles that shape future decisions.

Domains can be tackled one at a time or prioritised based on what matters most to your organisation. Over time, covering all domains builds consistency, reduces rework, and ensures every design decision aligns with a clear standard of quality. The full set of domains is outlined in our Integrated Architecture Framework (IAF)

 

Target State Determination

Where do you need to be?

Target State Determination defines the future shape of your business and technology systems, the “beacon on the hill” that guides change. It clarifies which solutions should stay, which need to evolve, and what new capabilities are required to achieve your strategy.

Just as importantly, it sets the principles for how those solutions work together. Designed for change rather than rigidity, the target state avoids tomorrow’s legacy and gives your organisation a clear destination that is efficient, adaptable, and fit for the future.

 

Data Strategy

Turning data into a strategic asset

Data Strategy creates the foundation for making better, faster, and more confident decisions. It defines how data is collected, governed, integrated, and used across the organisation, ensuring it supports business priorities rather than becoming another source of complexity.

We help leaders establish clear principles for data ownership, quality, and accessibility, while aligning data initiatives with broader business and technology strategy. The result is data that can be trusted, shared, and leveraged to create measurable outcomes and long-term value.

 

Digital Strategy

Technology guided by business intent

Digital Strategy ensures technology decisions are driven by business goals, not the other way around. It connects enterprise objectives with IT strategy through capability modelling, operating model design, and enterprise architecture, giving leaders a clear line of sight from investment to outcome.

The result is a strategy that’s holistic, practical, and measurable, enabling organisations to move faster, reduce risk, and deliver change with confidence.

 

AI Acceleration

Turning AI into practical advantage

AI Acceleration takes the uncertainty out of adopting AI by focusing on the areas that matter most, data governance, infrastructure, capabilities, skills, and business integration. It combines strategy with delivery, helping you understand your readiness, close capability gaps, and invest with confidence.

The result is a clear path from experimentation to value realisation, so AI becomes a practical advantage for your organisation rather than a source of anxiety.

Roadmaps & Planning

 

EA Roadmap Development

How we achieve the best maturity level

An EA Roadmap sets out the plan, costs, and benefits for building the right-sized Enterprise Architecture capability for your organisation. It covers everything from making the investment case to developing or uplifting the practice and embedding it into day-to-day work.

The goal is a capability that’s living and breathing, not a one-off exercise. With a clear roadmap, leaders can build maturity step by step, ensuring Enterprise Architecture delivers lasting value rather than fading into the background.

 

Solution Roadmap Development

How do you get to where you need to be?

A Solution Roadmap turns your target state into a practical plan. It lays out the initiatives and projects needed to get there, with enough detail to support budget planning, business case development, and leadership approval.

The roadmap goes beyond an ideas list, it makes each initiative “shovel-ready” with clear costs, timelines, and sequencing. Leaders gain confidence in the total transformation journey, while each project retains the rigour of its own business case and funding process.

 

Complete Solution Roadmap

Where are you, where do you need to be and how do you get there?

A Complete Solution Roadmap brings everything together into a single, strategy-driven plan. It draws on prior work and combines the right services to give you a clear view of your current state, your target state, and the path between them.

The result is a roadmap that’s comprehensive yet practical, one that reflects your business intent, aligns people and technology, and provides the confidence to move forward with clarity and purpose.

 

Business Case Development

Investment cases that stand up

A strong business case makes the difference between a good idea and a funded initiative. Business Case Development turns strategy into a clear, evidence-backed submission that demonstrates outcomes, benefits, and value for investment.

Drawing on deep experience, we ensure cases are outcomes-driven, supported by the right figures, and ready for leadership or government approval. The result is confidence that your case will stand up to scrutiny and secure the support needed to move forward.

 

Machinery of Government Change Planning

Clarity through complex change

Machinery of Government (MOG) changes often trigger significant shifts in systems, processes, and responsibilities. Without a clear plan, these transitions can lead to underestimation, disruption, and unnecessary risk.

MOG Change Planning provides accurate estimates of the effort involved and a structured program of work to deliver it. The result is confidence that everything is accounted for, ensuring the change is managed smoothly, efficiently, and with minimal disruption.

Solution Delivery Foundations

 

 

Platform Requirements Definition

Fast-tracking platform selection

Selecting the right enabling platforms can be complex and time-consuming. Platform Requirements Definition accelerates the process by drawing on our experience across technologies such as integration, identity and access management, enterprise content management, and business process management.

We help you define requirements quickly and clearly, so you can move to market with confidence and select platforms that are fit for purpose ,without unnecessary delay or rework.

 

Solution Candidate Identification & Market Scan

Independent advice for the right fit

Finding the right solution in a fast-moving technology market can be overwhelming. We cut through the noise by identifying candidate solutions and implementation partners that fit your organisation’s size, industry, and needs.

Because we’re vendor and product agnostic, our advice is truly independent. You get clear, unbiased recommendations on the options most likely to deliver value, helping you choose with confidence.

 

Conceptual Solution Design

Enough design to move forward

Conceptual Solution Design ensures just enough design is completed to support accurate business case development and informed solution selection. Grounded in our Integrated Architecture Framework, the process keeps the focus on project outcomes and intent rather than unnecessary detail.

By shaping solutions at the right level, organisations gain clarity, reduce risk, and move forward with designs that are both practical and outcome-driven.

 

Solution Selection

Independent guidance for the right choice

Solution Selection goes beyond scanning the market, it provides a structured process to identify, evaluate, and select the solution that best fits your organisation’s unique needs. We consider cost, scalability, user base, and your existing landscape to ensure recommendations are both realistic and future-ready.

Because we engage directly with vendors on your behalf, the focus stays on the capabilities you actually need. This avoids overspending on unnecessary features and reduces the risk of vendor lock-in, giving you confidence that the solution chosen is the right one.
