Examples of our recent client projects:
Building a Data Champions Network
Our client was a Global Energy Organisation who was investing heavily in digital tools and standards, but adoption remained inconsistent. Teams lacked confidence, data practices varied across regions and partners, and users often struggled to apply tools in real‑world delivery environments. Leadership recognised that technology alone would not shift behaviours; a people‑led support model was needed to prepare the organisation for successful rollout.
We developed the strategic framework, role definitions, and activation approach for a curated network of data champions. As well as helping to create the overall strategy, we defined the purpose, expectations, and operating model for three champion roles. We helped to design activation workshops, onboarding materials, learning paths, and mission‑card visuals to equip champions with the clarity, confidence, and shared language needed to support good data behaviours. This phase focused on building the foundations required for future deployment and scaling.
This work established a clear, scalable model for champion activation, enabling the organisation to:
- Build a visible, credible network ready to support data‑driven behaviours.
- Strengthen alignment with digital delivery expectations.
- Reduce future adoption friction through clear roles, materials, and support structures.
- Create a repeatable framework for shared learning and cross‑project consistency.
- Lay the groundwork for a sustainable community capable of driving long‑term cultural change once implementation begins
Strengthening Programme Readiness
Our client is a UK Research & Innovation Programme that is scaling rapidly, with multiple partners, evolving requirements, and significant pressure to make early design decisions.
However, core information expectations were not yet aligned across domains, suppliers lacked clarity on what “good” looked like, and teams were struggling to navigate emerging standards, data flows, and documentation. Without a coherent IM model, the programme risked inconsistent delivery, rework, and reduced confidence in critical design information.
Working within the programme’s engineering team we helped define and stabilise the programme’s information backbone. This included shaping the Organisational Information Requirements (OIR), aligning AIR/EIR expectations, and creating a coherent deliverables framework to support supplier mobilisation. We facilitated cross‑domain workshops, synthesised complex technical inputs, and produced audit‑ready documentation to support governance and assurance. We also provided hands‑on support to clarify data flows, strengthen decision‑making, and prepare teams for structured information delivery.
This work created a clear, actionable IM foundation that enabled the programme to:
- Align stakeholders around a shared, traceable set of information expectations.
- Provide suppliers with clarity and confidence ahead of mobilisation.
- Reduce delivery friction by defining consistent processes, artefacts, and data flows.
- Strengthen governance and assurance through audit‑ready documentation.
- Lay the groundwork for a scalable information model capable of supporting future design maturity and programme growth.
