Jo Youle, Chief Executive, Missing People –
“Smartdesc have helped us develop a new mind-set for IT & Digital.
With their expertise and practical application, they have created plans that have enabled us to secure new funding to kick start our IT & digital transformation.“
Solution
The output was a comprehensive report describing the emergent themes, challenges and opportunities. It also set out a strategy spanning systems and technology principles, culture, processes, skills, team structures, budgeting & planning, approaches to measuring success, project management, change management and an overarching guiding vision.
In addition to the in-depth review, the report offered practical steps to commence the transformation. It included a A single programme roadmap, which laid out the projects to undertake, how they would fit together and the funding required.
Missing People implemented the recommendations in full – acquiring investment to achieve the full strategy and partnering with Smartdesc to oversee the coordination of the programme, and to successfully bid for a key IT & Digital grant.
