Consulting is limited
What if you could deliver consultancy without consultancies?
External consultancies can be expensive, inefficient and struggle to understand your business as well as you do. They may make recommendations which do not fully align to your strategy, putting their own needs ahead of your own.
The way forwd
A fresh new way to deliver technology in your organisation.
Forwd is here to help you build your technology capability so that you can achieve your business goals with your own team, free of external consultancies.
A few things we’re great at
We only focus on a few things and we do them really well.
Working with us is very different as our commercial model enables us to focus on reducing your costs, rather than growing your team with an exit plan defined from day 1. Our goal is improving your capability, not ours.
Talent sourcing
We work with trusted recruiters and your own recruitment team to specify roles, help to shortlist and interview and then integrate new recruits into your team.
Upskilling your team
Once we have the right team, we will work with them to ensure they are trained, and that they understand the business context.
Ensuring successful delivery
We proactively manage issues throughout delivery, reporting back regularly to you and ensuring the team remains a tight-knit unit, working together for the benefit of your business.

The process
The right people on the bus
To quote business guru, Jim Collins, we need to make sure we have the right people in the team before we consider what we will do.
Agree on the destination
We then need to confirm our understanding of what your business is looking to achieve.
Confirm the route
We will then work with you and your team to determine the most effective route there.
Upskill as needed
Training will be provided to your team and to senior leadership to streamline delivery and the journey the team will take.
Speed up the journey
In some cases, we may be able to provide business accelerators, in terms of tooling or templates to enable the team to deliver more effectively more quickly.
Manage your expectations
We will work with you throughout to ensure there are no surprises and you are satisfied with the way the team is working.
Get started
We will assess, build the team and define the journey
We will start by assessing the current situation with you, determining the projected costs of a management consultancy carrying out the work and then calculate the right team shape for you to carry out the work independently to meet your business objectives.
Measure your progress
Throughout the journey, we will assess and measure to ensure a successful outcome.
We will meet with you monthly throughout the engagement and with the team every two weeks. We will review progress to date and ensure the team are still on track, adapting as required to meet your objectives.
Our team
We are passionate about doing the right thing, ensuring our clients receive the very highest levels of service at every stage.
