Stage 1 · Both accounts
The team's and the report's.
What we do, in detail
Four services, independent of every supplier and scoped to end.
Program 01 · Including stop it
Project assessment
We talk to the people doing the work rather than only the people reporting on it, because those two accounts of a project are rarely the same. The report gives a plain verdict with the reasoning, and sometimes that verdict is to stop — which is unwelcome, cheaper than continuing, and the reason an outside view is worth paying for.
Stage 2 · What remains
Realistically, not optimistically.
Stage 3 · Options
Finish, rescope or stop, costed.
Stage 4 · Verdict
Plainly stated, with reasons.
Stage 1 · Scope and end date
Agreed before starting.
Stage 2 · Stabilise
The things actively causing harm.
Stage 3 · Document
As we go, not at the end.
Stage 4 · Hand over
To the permanent hire.
Program 02 · With an end date
Interim IT management
Interim work has one failure mode: becoming permanent by accident. Every engagement has an agreed end date and a handover deliverable from day one, and we document as we go rather than holding knowledge that makes us hard to replace.
Program 03 · What you own, and owe
Supplier and contract review
Organisations routinely cannot say who holds their domain, their code repository or their administrative credentials until they try to leave a supplier. We inventory all of it with the renewal dates, and flag where you do not own something you assumed you did. Whether a contract term is enforceable is a question for a solicitor.
Stage 1 · Inventory
Every supplier, cost and renewal date.
Stage 2 · Ownership
Domains, repositories, credentials.
Stage 3 · Gaps
What you assumed and do not own.
Stage 4 · Referral
Legal questions to solicitors.
Stage 1 · What they need
Written for the person arriving.
Stage 2 · Induction
Suppliers, systems and risks.
Stage 3 · Overlap
Short and deliberate.
Stage 4 · Leave
On the date agreed.
Program 04 · Designed to leave
Handover to permanent staff
The measure of an interim engagement is whether the organisation is less dependent afterwards. We write the documentation an incoming manager actually needs, induct them properly, and then leave on the agreed date rather than finding reasons to stay.
