When reviews are needed_
These reviews are typically used when organisations need:
Reduced uncertainty before major investment
To understand risk, cost, and readiness in a specific capability
To unblock stalled or underperforming change
To provide assurance to executive or board stakeholders
To establish a credible baseline before transformation
It is often commissioned:
Ahead of cloud, digital, or AI initiatives
After repeated delivery or operational issues
When confidence exists, but evidence does not
The challenge we see repeatedly_
Most organisations believe they understand their IT Capability until decisions need to be made.
Over time:
Ownership becomes unclear
Risk accumulates quietly
Decisions rely on assurance rather than evidence
Delivery compensates for structural weaknesses
Without an independent view, issues surface late, costs rise, and confidence erodes.
What the reviews will deliver_
In four weeks, the reviews provide:
A clear view of current capability, strengths, and constraints
Identification of material risks, inefficiencies, and gaps
A prioritised set of improvement opportunities
A practical 90-day action plan
A 12-month roadmap aligned to operational reality
All findings are synthesised into a board-ready narrative, not a technical report.
How the review is run_
The review follows a structured, repeatable approach:
Targeted senior stakeholder engagement
Focused artefact and evidence review
Practitioner-led analysis grounded in real delivery experience
Consolidated into clear findings and priorities
The emphasis is on how the capability works in practice, not how it is described.
Who leads the reviews?
Each Capability Review is led by a senior practitioner with direct accountability for that domain, typically one of:
CIO or Senior IT Advisor
Chief / Principal Architect
CISO or Security Advisor
Chief Data Officer or equivalent
Portfolio or Operations Director
This ensures findings are credible, pragmatic, and decision-ready.
Typical indicative outcomes_
(1,000–5,000 user organisations)
While outcomes depend on context and scope, organisations typically achieve:
10–30% improvement in control, predictability, or efficiency
20–40% reduction in unmanaged risk exposure identified
30–50% faster executive decision-making through clearer evidence
Improved readiness for change, supported by a defined action plan
Indicative outcomes are based on comparable organisations and depend on implementation decisions.
