BESPOKE DATA AND TECHNOLOGY SERVICES

INTELLIGENCE AND INSIGHT
Whilst we place a premium and emphasis upon data and information, we never forget that the most powerful intelligence environments understand the power of human intelligence – or insight. We bring to clients the insight that reinforces intelligence, borne out our exemplary multidisciplinary, multi sector international experience.
DIGITAL
The digital revolution is an opportunity for all organisations to embrace; and use to both internal and external advantage. To capitalise upon the power of digital, it has to be incorporated into a coherent, co-ordinated and integrated strategic, transformational and operational framework.
Our digital consulting services have a single mission objective, to position organisations to effectively and dynamically harness digital disruption, power and technology to sustainably enhance value, performance, productivity and profitability.
We take a holistic approach to our digital consulting, placing it with an organisational ecosystem that encompasses multidimensional facets, across strategic, transformational and operational dimensions.
We also seek to ensure that digital strategies are deeply embedded into high performance cultures; from strategic MARCOMS and business planning; through the use of deep data across business and management systems; to engaging with and enriching customers’ experience and value to the deployment of technology and the engagement and empowerment of personnel around the use of digital technology.
Key digital areas we explore are:
- Client and customer engagement, enrichment and experience
- Digital disruption and transformation
- Digital deployment
- Digital marketing, communications and services
- Digital operations
- Digital and technological strategy
- Information, communications and technology strategy, capacity and capability
Along with our ADI specialists, and strategic and collaborative partners, we have the capability to author bespoke digital and technological solutions for clients; from AI and machine learning, through digital marketing; to data, intelligence, insight and analytics; to design and project management tools and services.

AGILITY AND STORM PROOFING
In the modern world, organisations of all sizes and shapes need to be able to successfully respond not only to everyday issues and challenges; but to powerful and disruptive knowledge, technological and digital forces.
Our agile consulting and advisory services, lead by members of the Lyre Group, are designed to ensure that your organisation is agile and storm proof, and so able strategically, tactically and operationally to respond to internal and external transformation, change and threats; and harness disruption, turning potential threats into opportunities for enhanced performance, productivity, profitability, growth and development.
Our agile consulting has two distinct, but complementary, pillars; corporate resilience and sure footedness; and iterative innovation and transformation. Our mission objective is to support organisations in embedding agility into their high-performance culture.
To achieve this, we take a SMARTER*, intelligent and holistic approach; from strategy to operations, across all organisational levels, business units, functions, stakeholders and supply chains; using our proprietary STORM* and P4I2E4* diagnostics, tools, techniques and frameworks to analyse current agility, and then propose solutions and support the implementation, development and enhancement of an agile culture across your organisation that positions you to be able to effectively and successfully respond strategically, tactically and operational to whatever disruptive forces you encounter.
So, from whatever your strategic, transformational, operational or programme and project objectives issues, challenges and agendas are, let us see if we can bring our agile consulting to serve and support you for measurable and sustainable success.
Think of us as your fly half – orchestrating resilience, sustainability and success!
MISSION ASSURANCE
The most successful operational environments are underwritten by a robust and rigorous ecosystem which is designed to engineer mission success and exceptional performance.
Developed from a blend of military, aviation and engineering platforms, our organisational mission assurance consulting and advisory services represent the purest, deepest, broadest and most forensic form of holistic organisational and operational assessment, diagnosis and evaluation.
Our OMA consulting has one simple mission objective, to ensure that operational performance and productivity is optimised and mission success assured as rigorously and robustly as possible.
Our OMA consulting views the organisation as an ecosystem, built on two living and integrated strands – environment and expression. Using our proprietary CAATT SCAN*, we take a layered, atomistic systems engineering approach to organisational architecture, operations and performance, deconstructing it to then build in and develop a rigorous and dynamic organisational and business mission assurance cultural fabric.
At the heart of this are the two integrated strands – environment and expression. Our mission assurance consulting seeks to ensure the highest performance cultures – the environment; which in turn breeds performance, productivity, ‘profitability’ – the expressions of organisational success. Combined effectively, these two strands allow an organisation to grow, develop, and evolve.
The most powerful building blocks in our OMA framework are the deployment and development of deep data and intelligence business and performance management systems; embedding dynamic risk analysis and management; and encouraging controlled innovation and disruption, across all organisational levels.
So, if you are considering how to assure and enhance your corporate culture and performance, let us see if we can bring our organisational mission assurance expertise and experience to serve and support you.
STRATEGIC MARCOMS
It really is very simple. No customers or clients, no business or organisation. So, survival, let alone growth, must be premised on attracting market share.
Our strategic marketing and communications consulting is designed to support organic, structured and sustainable growth; and a strategic, transformational and operational marketing and communications capability and capacity that is dynamic and responsive.
Taking a SMARTER*, intelligence led and customer / client centric approach, that is crafted backwards; from securing a repeat client who shows loyalty to your brand and organisation. Our building blocks are our proprietary D3ITE* paradigm, which focuses around optimising bespoke client experiences and interactions; communicating and building brand; and using deep data to understand and service bespoke client requirements.
Key areas we address are:
- Advocacy and brand ambassadorship
- Client and customer behaviours, engagement and experience
- Deep data use
- Market intelligence, insights and segmentation
- Digital and online presence
- Disruption and innovation
- Pricing
- Route to market
