The situation
The ambition was to become a digitally excellent organisation. New housing and finance platforms were coming, and nobody permanent was in the chair to lead the programme.
What we did together
An independent assurance partner at the steering group; a business design executive service to shape vision, strategy and design principles; support for recruiting and onboarding permanent programme leadership.
“They made themselves unnecessary. That’s rare.”

Steering group, month 6.
What’s different now
The programme was materially de-risked and aligned to corporate strategy. Permanent leadership took over, and we stepped back.
