Fractional-CIO-led systems modernisation for mid-market operating businesses — ERP and platform implementations, business-process reengineering, and the project rescue that recovers a stalled, over-budget rollout. Practitioner-led change management for companies that have been burned by a methodology consultant and a six-figure deck before. Fifteen-plus years of transformation, in the seat, not the slide.
Digital Transformation is rarely one job. Engagements typically braid two or three sub-offers, led by the partner with the most relevant operating experience.
Where technology actually moves the operating model — and where it is spend for its own sake. The roadmap that survives a board review and a budget cycle.
Selection through go-live on the core systems that run the business — finance, operations, CRM. Sequenced so the business keeps running while the platform changes underneath it.
Redesign the workflow before automating it. The Six-Sigma discipline that takes cost, errors and cycle time out of a process instead of digitising the mess.
For the implementation that is over budget, past deadline, and quietly about to be written off. Recover it, re-scope it, or shut it down with the reasoning in writing.
Run the RFP, score the vendors on fit not demo, and negotiate the contract. The discipline that picks the platform you can actually live with.
The system only works if people use it. Steering-committee alignment, training, and the adoption work that determines whether the investment lands.
The partner who takes your first call is the partner in the room. We don't sell what we haven't run.
Mid-market operating businesses — roughly $10M–$300M — modernising core systems or recovering a stalled implementation. Below that, the lift is usually a single platform; above, you likely have a full-time CIO.

A big firm sells a methodology and staffs it with juniors. We put a practitioner who has run the CIO seat into the work, end to end. Same rigour, none of the deck-for-its-own-sake.
Yes — project rescue and turnaround is a core part of the practice. We come in, find out what is actually broken, and either recover it or recommend shutting it down, with the reasoning in writing.
Directly. Most transformations now run into AI and analytics decisions, and the same partner leads the agentic-operations and data-and-analytics capabilities.
