We help in a number of ways:

IT leadership, their teams & departments

IT Leaders in many organisations are faced with the challenges of driving more value for better business outcomes. Their organisation's business models are at risk from disruption from unexpected directions and their board of directors are seeking to find ways that they can disrupt or protect themselves against being disrupted and to do so in a cost efficient way.

We assist them to optimise their IT operations and help them position themselves to accommodate the changes that enable and support digital transformation. This can range from acing as a 'critical friend' or board advisor, to undertaking in-depth reviews of specific domains such as cyber security, enterprise architectures or innovation activities.

We help develop and where appropriate, run their in-house innovation activities and help them overcome the challenges that many established organisations encounter by bridging the gap between them and the entrepreneurs and startups whose products and services they they want to leverage.

Entrepreneurs, startups & scale-ups

"Think Big, Start Small, Scale Fast!"

We work with entrepreneurs, startups & scale-ups to help them achieve their goals and vision. This includes:

  • to gain first mover advantage & innovate by leveraging incubators, accelerators, tech hubs and start-up knowledge and experience from the U.K., Nordics & Silicon Valley,

  • with introductions to Venture Capitalists and Angel Investors and with the preparation of business and product development plans as well as investing directly at early stages,

  • helping them find introductions to enterprises who are prepared to adopt their offering even though it may not be a fully formed proposition.

Our team

Our team consists of experienced technical experts and senior executives from large multinational enterprises enabling us to add value by bringing knowledge and experience from both cultures for the benefit of our clients. Some of our team are also angel investors and have successfully founded and run their own startups

As one of our clients said "
It's not what you know, but who you know and what they know that matters".
