Making bespoke IT projects a breeze
Hello. I’m Hannah and I help companies like yours deliver critical bespoke IT development projects with more ease than they ever thought possible.
I’ve helped technology projects deliver revolutions, evolutions and tiny marginal gains. With onshore, near shore, and offshore teams. Waterfall, Agile, or somewhere in between. Fully remote or combined teams. Bespoke software or COTS implementations.
I’ve seen projects succeed against the odds. And projects flop despite doing everything right on paper. And along the way I’ve developed a plethora of techniques for solving project problems.
AI, Agile, Lean, IoT, blockchain and all the other buzzwords
Everyone’s talking about them.
But they’re only valuable if they help you reach your business outcomes.
I can help you determine which latest new toy delivers value that’s worth your investment.
I don’t have all the answers, but I have answers that other people don’t have
Me? I focus on what I know best:
- helping you scope & choose projects that deliver the best outcomes for your organisation (gotta be aiming for the right destination in the first place)
- helping you design those projects to deliver more benefits, more quickly (the MVP is dead, long live the QPS – Quickest Path to Success)
- and constantly smoothing the path as the project moves through execution (even the tiniest of bumps causes a bit more unnecessary friction – the exact opposite of marginal gains)
It’s like I’m steering the ship, stoking the boiler and making the cocktails all at once.
I call it the 3D+ approach: Decide, Design, Deliver, and the added bonus: Measure, so you know how you’re doing
Whether you’re a consultancy or a client, I can help you elevate your project
Whilst I’ve worked with a broad range of organisation, I’ve found that there’s a sweet spot where my skills and experience can really elevate the value of a bespoke software project: large enough that the benefits are material to the bottom line, and small & nimble enough to be able to apply my advice.
You’ve already got a fantastic team entirely focused on delivering your core competencies. But what if a client needs more?
I provide ad hoc business architecture & analysis services on behalf of truly exceptional niche consultancies just like yours, broadening your potential offerings without you having to commit to a permanent team.
- Pre-sales project consulting to help you secure more, and better, work
- Sculpt & streamline proposals to create projects that are easier, cheaper & less risky for your team to deliver
- Hands-on business architecture & analysis to craft a strong, structured and well-developed backlog, so that your team can focus on what they do best
- On-demand services so you can get started quickly, without having to go through a long-winded recruitment process
Planning a project that is above & beyond your organisation’s normal baseline? I can help boost your team’s capability, capacity or both.
I work with carefully selected small & medium sized businesses to break through a maturity plateau and help them reveal and achieve their full potential
- Boost your business architecture & analysis capacity with tried & trusted services, so you can access world-class services without the pain & risk of recruiting individuals
- Supplement an existing team or rocket-power an entirely new capability: whatever your starting point, I can help you achieve more
- Increase the skills of your core team with coaching, ‘leading by example’ or a full upgrade of your BA toolset
