Discovery Project
Things not quite right?
Let's figure it out together.
Many businesses aren’t getting the most out of digital and tech but can’t quite figure out why.
​
Often the problem is really your Enterprise Architecture: how your business actually works and how your data flows, supported by applications and technology.
​
The CIO Studio Discovery Project will create a high-level picture of your current architecture, figure out what's wrong, and create a plan to move your business forward.
About the Discovery Project
What you get:
We help identify your business goals with this initial deep dive, and the digital transformation needed to achieve them.
​

​
-
High level outline of your current state

Finding the root cause of some of your challenges
-
Mapping out the best future state
-
Customised "plan on a page" roadmap
-
Fixed price package
-
Value-guaranteed promise
​
No surprises. No risk. No brainer.
A full digital and tech strategic review
​
If you want digital and tech to drive your business success, you need to start with a strategy.
​
The Discovery Project is the first part of this process – a full strategic tech review to figure out what makes your business tick, what's holding you back, and what to do about it.
This is all-encompassing, and focuses on four key areas:
Your business
High-level needs, strategy and objectives
Your applications
Processes, systems and the applications
Your data
What's important and how it needs to flow
Your technology
The foundations that support your business
While this looks similar to the TOGAF Framework (for those who know it!), we generally take a more pragmatic, practical and effective approach, more suited to the complexity of your organisation.
An analysis and a way forward
We identify the good, the bad and the ugly and outline the digital and tech changes that could empower and enhance your business.
​
You get a plan of attack, with approximate timeframes and cost, to get things moving.
All summarised in a
Plan on a Page
Once you have your review summary and plan, you can either finish there, or look to implementation.
​
Most choose the latter, but that's your call.
Mapping out a proper strategy will lead to a better customer experience, better staff experience and a more efficient operation.
Who is the Discovery Project best for?
No two businesses are the same and we customise the Discovery Project for your needs, but there are some common characteristics.
Companies with:
Rapid growth: need to take a more strategic approach to digital and technology
Clunky systems: lots of manual admin, poor digital marketing, other digital/tech challenges and need a hand figuring it out
Legacy technology: need a plan to modernise for the next phase of their digital journey
Competitors racing ahead: want to see how they can use digital and tech as a competitive advantage
Want to validate their current approach: want to ensure they're currently getting the most out of their investment
Just need a second opinion: looking for a review of their current plan
All businesses: it's good hygiene to review your digital architecture and find better ways of working
Talk to us to see if it's right for you.
Your investment
The cost depends on your business size and complexity and is based on an agreed up-front fixed price.
Discovery usually runs as a standalone project over 2-3 months and involves a "deep dive" understanding of your organisation and its needs.
