Stand-up

Build the technology and information foundation from the start.

End-to-end design and delivery of foundational ICT and information management capability for a new agency, a new business unit, or a new entity after separation.

What it is

End-to-end design and stand-up of infrastructure, systems, policy, governance and the operating model, built around how the organisation will run.

What it solves

Greenfield ICT

Starting from zero means there is no legacy to work around, but there is also no foundation and usually a hard deadline.

This work establishes the foundation correctly the first time, based on how the organisation operates rather than a copied template.

What the engagement covers

The work is scoped around your actual environment.

The engagement can include the following areas, shaped around the problem to be solved and the decisions your organisation needs to make.

  • Foundational architecture and platform selection
  • Identity, access, and device management
  • Core application selection and implementation
  • Information architecture, classification, and retention from day one
  • Security baseline and support model
  • Operating model design, not just systems
  • Vendor and platform selection support

Why act now

Greenfield is the only chance to get information architecture right before there is any information in it. It does not come round twice.

How the work proceeds

A clear sequence from the current position to an actionable result.

Each stage has a defined purpose. The exact depth and timing are agreed around the size and complexity of the engagement.

How the work moves

Design and build through a clear sequence

4 stages
01

Design

Target operating model and foundational architecture defined against the entity's obligations.

02

Select

Platforms and applications chosen on fit and total cost, not familiarity.

03

Build

Environments, identity, information structures, and integrations stood up.

04

Transition

Support model handed over to the internal team or a chosen provider.

What you receive

Useful outputs your team can act on.

The work concludes with practical material designed for decision-making, delivery, governance, or handover.

  • Foundational ICT and IM design
  • Implemented core environment
  • Information architecture and governance framework
  • Support and operating model handover

Expected outcomes

What should be different when the work is complete.

  1. 01

    A working ICT and IM capability from day one

  2. 02

    A foundation built for how the entity will actually run

  3. 03

    Room to scale, rather than a rebuild in eighteen months

Who it is for

Built around the need, not the size of the organisation.

The same service applies in different operating contexts. The scope changes to match the environment, obligations, and decisions involved.

Public sector

New agencies, machinery-of-government separations, and newly established statutory bodies.

Commercial organisations

Carve-outs, joint ventures, and new business units standing up independently.
