Strategy and Case for Change
Our strategy practice focuses on establishing the case for digital change, technology and business transformation strategies, advanced technology or data adoption.
Service strategy
From statutory duty to citizen outcome. We help you articulate what your service must achieve, for whom, and how technology should support that — not the other way round.
Case for change
Build the evidence base that satisfies HMT Green Book, the board, and frontline staff. We translate operational pain into investable propositions.
Responsible AI adoption
Where does AI belong in your service? We map candidate use cases, weigh the ethical and operational risks, and help set policy that holds up under scrutiny.
Benefits realisation
Define the measures that matter — for users, for staff, for the public purse — and the operating discipline that keeps you honest about them.
Projects and Programmes
Our projects and programmes practice focuses on delivery of software, technology and digital initiatives, taking operational role in project or programme leadership.
Delivery leadership
Take an operational seat on your most consequential programmes. Recovery, scale-up, or a critical first delivery: we step in alongside your team.
Multidisciplinary teams
Set up delivery the way modern public services demand it: product, design, engineering, data, operations, and policy in a single team aligned to user needs.
Assurance and standards
Align delivery with the GDS Service Standard, the Technology Code of Practice, and the assurance gates your organisation actually has to pass.
Venture Building
Our venture-building efforts focus on early-stage startup and intrapreneurial initiatives, designing the product and growth strategy.
Discovery
Understand the user need and the public problem before committing to a build. We run discovery sprints aligned to the GDS service phases.
Alpha and prototyping
Test the riskiest assumptions with real users — accessibility, edge cases, vulnerable cohorts — not just the happy path.
Beta to live
Get to a live, supportable, accessible service. Build the operating model that keeps it running once we're gone.
Spin-out and partnership
When the right home for a service is outside the organisation, we scope partnerships, joint ventures, or commercial spin-outs.
