DIGITAL & BUSINESS CONSULTANCY SERVICES

As well as our construction and building related services, we also have deep expertise and years of experience in digitisation, automation, business productivity optimisation, strategy writing and organisational change management.  We use this blend of capabilities to provide the following Digital & Business Consultancy Services:

Software Development

We have decades of experience in all areas of software development and can either license you one of our estate management products such as SiteWise or work with you to create something specific for your needs.  For more information, see the links below:

We are also proud to be a RICS Tech Partner!

Data Management

We have deep expertise in data management and have helped many clients streamline their mobile data entry procedures using bespoke validated form templates and also helped them migrate data between incompatible systems Robotic Process Automation (RPA) and more classical Extract Transform Load (ETL) processes.  This often complements our surveying service offerings where we would create user friendly mobile data capture forms for our clients that export data that is directly compatible with their estates and asset management systems.  We have created many such integrations for clients in the educational, healthcare and housing sectors with packages such as Global Maximo and Northgate's SAM.

As well as expertise in enterprise data management systems such as Microsoft SQL Server and Oracle, we also specialise in automation and data solutions using Microsoft's Power suite - Power Query (built into Excel), Power BI, Power Automate and Power Apps.

Business Process & Value Mapping

We can map your business processes to help you understand where you are generating value and where you are suffering waste.  This is a powerful technique that is the foundation of any organisation drive around improving efficiency and effectiveness.  For example, we recently created an Opportunity to Revenue Map that helped a client identify where they could save many thousands of pounds through rationalising a number of their project delivery processes.

Digital Productivity Advice, Training & Consultancy

We are experts in maximising value from technology assets and can provide advice, insights, training, and change programmes to help you and your workforce become more digitally productive.  This has helped organisations we have worked with manage the transition to working from home more seamlessly.

Agile Project Management & Continuous Improvement Programmes

We are certified consultants in Agile Project Management and can provide training, advice, and guidance to organisations introducing frameworks and processes such as Scrum or Kanban.  Every year, for example, we work with the Alacrity Foundation to deliver Agile training to their start-up entrepreneurship programme.

We have helped organisations tailor their work management processes for clients based on agile delivery cycles to help them keep on top of managing opportunities and delivering projects in a more responsive manner.  We have also helped organisations introduce cyclical retrospectives to help shape, focus, and embed their continuous improvement programmes.

Organisational Change Management

We are certified consultants in Organisational Change and can help you manage the impact of change.  We can advise on the techniques and tools to effectively plan and implement successful transformation initiatives covering areas such as:

• Unlocking  resistance to change.
• Providing effective support and motivation to individuals and teams to embrace change.
• Drawing from a range of professional approaches to implement change smoothly and effectively.
• Managing and informing key stakeholders throughout the change process.
• Speeding up the implementation of change initiatives.

Strategic Exploration Workshops & Brainstorming

We have expertise in strategy formulation and using techniques such as Value Proposition Design and Impact Mapping to facilitate strategy brainstorming sessions for our clients.  We recently ran an OGSM brainstorming workshop for a client which enabled them to formulate their Objectives, Goals, Strategies and Measures for the next 3 years.  We followed this up with a test and challenge session to assess how SMART the strategy was before facilitating the production of the annual implementation plan.
