Consulting Services
Consulting is an important aspect of our work. We can advise clients on any aspect
of our four specialist disciplines:-
Essentially, our consulting service is about simply providing impartial and independent
advice within our four fields of expertise. You may choose us to implement our
recommendations or you may decide to undertake that work yourself or use an alternative
supplier.
What is important to us is that you receive the right advice and that we provide
you with the mechanisms for successfully implementing it.
However, it is important to realise that we will only provide the advice we believe
to be right for you and your organisation. We won't simply endorse what has already
been decided, whether tacitly or explicitly. You may find that we challenge what
you are trying to achieve and we may even advise you to abandon your current path.
We simply provide impartial, independent and unbiased advice.
Our Approach
We consult on
strategy development,
systems and
network engineering, and
software
development. Although three of these four areas are primarily technical in content,
our thinking is always informed by a balance of management foresight and technical
expertise.
We are very
people-focused in our approach simply because we know that
businesses are systems that are made up of both people and technology. We do not
hide behind the technology, but address the issues present in the
entire
system.
We are influenced by systemic thinking when tackling issues that exhibit a high
degree of dynamic complexity and are firmly grounded in analytical thinking when
faced with design complexity.
Our consultancy work is client-centric, which means we never aim to become a 'crutch'
for our clients. We try to ensure that they become less dependent on us as experts
in the areas that are causing them concern over time.
This approach, paradoxically, is good for our business because it improves our
reputation and the number of quality engagements we are invited to undertake.
