Digital Transformation Consultancy UK - Most Pioneering Firm 2023

In our years of involvement in transformation, we’ve observed that while the ‘major players’ like BCG, Accenture and McKinsey seemingly offer solutions to your problems, their focus is on prolonged management rather than genuine problem-solving.

Our approach is different. Unlike these counterparts, we aim to offer lasting solutions and genuinely fix the issues at hand, embodying our mantra to 'do consultancy differently.'

Most Pioneering Digital Transformation Consultancy

At the beginning of 2023, we received an award for the Most Pioneering Management Consultancy Firm at the UK Enterprise Awards. We won this award because of our alternative approach to Digital Transformation Consulting with one of the world’s largest banks, amongst other clients.

But first and foremost, we won it because of our belief in doing things differently to the traditional consultancies, leaning in to our clients’ problems and implementing real change.

This in-turn has enabled faster and more effective decision-making in the organisations we’ve worked with, as well as saving them valuable time, energy and momentum in the transformation process.. and money.

1ovmany’s Approach to Digital Transformation Consulting: Case Study

For over two years now, we’ve been directly involved with a Digital Transformation in one of the world’s largest banks. The bank faced significant challenges in decision-making, communication, and overall operational efficiency.

Decision latency was high, leading to delays in milestone delivery and regulatory commitments. Additionally, there was a lack of visibility into progress and impediments, which hindered effective problem resolution.

We co-designed our approach with the client, allowing for a more relevant, and therefore adoptable, new operating model across 5 pillars within the business. We employed 3 stages of adoption ("Crawl", "Walk", and "Run") to ensure that the implementation of the operating model aligned with the organisation's readiness and provided a progressive pathway for success.

Very soon after we started “Crawl” we noticed that the morale and motivation of the teams had changed, as they could see the immediate results of organising themselves within the structure of the new operating model. After just a few months in, decision latency was reduced by 83%, saving £5m per year in a single pillar.

Our team were able to come in as external capability and remain focused on the transformation outcomes, as opposed to the deadlines and deliverables, which were the primary focus of the teams executing the work.

How a ‘different’ approach to Digital Transformation Consultancy can help you

70% of transformations fail to achieve their goals. This can be attributed to a number of factors, but the leading one is a failure to understand the current organisation.

1ovmany employ a three-tiered approach to Digital Transformation Consultancy that exhibits a Goal-Setting & Alignment phase, an Organisational Capability phase, and finally creating a Business Operating Blueprint.

During these phases, we work to establish compelling transformation outcomes using Objectives & Key Results (OKRs), assess the organisational capability for getting where it wants to go, and co-design a Business Operating Blueprint in order to sustain the impact achieved through the transformation efforts.

Additionally, we offer a complimentary familiarisation phase enabling us to understand the needs of your organisation, as well as helping implement sustainable change through training, coaching and ways of working changes.

We’re doing consultancy differently; we’ve got the gall and backing to stand up for what we believe in, but at the same time, we’ve got the resources and know-how to actually provide and co-create solutions to the problems you’re having and make a lasting difference.
