Navigate the complex world of business-critical systems with confidence and set yourself up for success in 4 weeks or less.

(We can work together even if you’ve no tech expertise and have never run a project before)

Did you know that 70% of digital transformations fail to meet their goals (McKinsey), often due to poor system selection and implementation? And with the rapid advancement of AI and automation, choosing the right systems has never been more critical—or confusing.

Here's the problem you face: Selecting and implementing business-critical systems like Finance software, ERP systems, and Sales & Marketing platforms can be overwhelming, time-consuming, and risky. Especially if your team lacks extensive technical expertise or experience with these systems and can’t determine fact from fiction during a sales process.

Which means you could be wasting valuable time and resources on ill-fitting solutions, putting your organisation at a significant disadvantage. And that's without considering how quickly your competitors could be pulling ahead with the right tech stack.

Is this you? 👇
  • Overwhelmed by the sheer number of options in the market
  • Concerned about making the wrong choice and its impact on your business
  • Unsure how to accurately define your organization's requirements
  • Worried about potential disruptions during system implementation
  • Frustrated by the disconnect between vendor promises and actual system capabilities
  •  Anxious about justifying the significant investment to stakeholders
If so, I’ll help you:  
  • Define precise requirements that align with your business goals
  • Navigate the complex landscape of complex software with confidence
  • Evaluate systems based on your unique needs, not just flashy features
  • Help you tell the different between AI usefulness and AI hype
  • Minimise implementation risks and ensure smooth adoption
  • Maximise ROI by selecting systems that truly drive business value
  • Future-proof your tech stack to support long-term growth and innovation

Even better, you can achieve this using a proven methodology that combines industry best practices with the latest insights into AI and automation.

Common concerns:
  • "We've never gone through a formal system selection process before."
    That's perfectly fine. No prior experience with system selection is required. All you need is a willingness to learn and improve your business processes.
  • "We're already overwhelmed with our current workload. Can we find the time for this?"
    Absolutely. I understand you're busy, which is why our sessions are designed to be efficient and impactful. Each workshop is only 90 minutes long and can be scheduled flexibly around your team's availability. Think of it as an investment that will save you time and headaches in the long run.
  • "Our team is resistant to change and new systems."
    Change can be challenging, but our approach is designed to build enthusiasm. We'll demonstrate the tangible benefits of new systems and involve your team in the selection process, fostering buy-in from the start. By the end of our sessions, your team will be excited about the possibilities!
  • "I'm unsure if the team will actually adopt new systems once implemented."
    Adoption is crucial, which is why we don't just help you select systems – I can also guide you in creating a comprehensive adoption plan. Remember, successful adoption is a journey, and we're here to support you every step of the way!
  • "We've had bad experiences with software vendors overpromising and underdelivering."
    Unfortunately, this is all too common. My process is designed to cut through the sales hype and rigorously evaluate systems based on your specific needs. We'll teach you how to conduct effective demos, ask the right questions, and validate vendor claims to ensure you make an informed decision.
