Translating business outcomes into a clear set of technical requirements is no simple task. It requires people that can fluently understand both languages. Definition is one of the most critical points of any technology programme and sets out, in detail, both the backlog of work that needs to be undertaken, as well as the time and cost required to deliver them. We can help you to build up a clear picture of the work that needs to be done, in a way that means technologists can execute and business stakeholders are clear about what they’ll get. You’ll have the certainty of knowing how much effort will be required and for how long.

Times change and business priorities change with them. When your teams are fully occupied by delivering on the day-to-day requirements of doing business, it can be difficult to spot where there is an opportunity to work better, or smarter.

For many brands, personalisation represents the holy grail of customer experience design. But while personalised experiences are easy to describe in concept, supported by a wealth of technologies that make it possible, implementation of effective personalisation can remain a complex challenge in practice. Putting true personalisation into action means delivering the right messaging, content and offers, at the right moment, for the right audience, via the right channel. This requires meticulous planning and testing to establish the correct logic, and no small degree of technical capability to bring all these elements together in real time. We can help you plan your approach to personalisation to ensure the right things happen at each stage of your customer journey.

A technology investment that doesn’t result in new and better ways of working is a wasted investment. At the very least, any new technology will require your teams to learn new skills to get the most out of it. That means more than just a one-off vendor training workshop on how to operate your technology. It means putting into place a framework that allows your people to not only refresh their memories on best practice, whenever they need to, but also the ability to onboard new employees and teams or enable external agencies and partners. Beyond training however lies the question of how your business teams should be organised to get the most of your tech platforms and what new skills and ways of working are needed. We can help you to set up your business teams, establish ways of working and provide training to make sure your business and technology teams are operating at the top of their game.
