Short Case Studies

Public Sector Programme Recovery

Challenge: A high-visibility Dynamics 365 programme was delayed, lacked confidence, and had no credible delivery plan.

Action: Re-baselined scope and cost, reset governance, aligned suppliers and internal teams, and established a clear path to green.

Outcome: Board-approved delivery plan, restored executive confidence, and successful platform delivery.

Housing Digital Transformation

Challenge: Fragmented systems, rising call volumes, and limited visibility across customer and property data.

Action: Led a SAFe-based transformation integrating CRM, housing, mobile workforce, and data platforms.

Outcome: 75% reduction in calls, 85% first-contact resolution, and scalable operations without additional FTE.

Commercial Platform Modernisation

Challenge: Legacy systems limiting growth and increasing operational cost.

Action: Delivered bespoke platforms, automated workflows, and integrated PropTech solutions.

Outcome: 38% error reduction, 17,500 manual hours removed, and improved customer retention.
