CONSULTING · HCM · WFM · GDPR

Advice that turns decisions into delivery.

A project to plan, issues to pinpoint, or a system that no longer meets expectations? We advise on HCM, workforce management (WFM) and data protection (GDPR). Where AI brings a clear business benefit, we include it in our recommendations. Depending on your needs, our support ranges from a focused assessment to implementation oversight, working with your teams and partners.

The Consulting layer: scoping workshop, dashboard and roadmap, with GDPR compliance running through them.

EXPERIENCE FROM THREE PERSPECTIVES

A clear-eyed view of your choices.

Choosing a tool you will then have to implement changes the way you choose.

  • 1998–2006

    Client side

    An HCM system for 5,000 employees selected and rolled out in 30 countries in less than a year. Then a merger of two groups: both IT landscapes mapped across 40 countries, working directly with both CIOs to guide the choice of target systems.

  • 2007–2025

    Vendor

    The other side of the tender: demos, RFP responses, conversations with leadership teams. Knowing which questions to ask so a demo answers your real need.

  • SINCE 2026

    Builder

    Platforms designed, built and run in-house. The true cost of custom work, measured day to day.

No vendor commissions, no resale partnerships: the recommendation depends only on your needs.

OUR METHOD

Value Engineering

In every engagement, we work out the expected value with you: visible assumptions, full costs, ROI, a realistic ramp-up. The resulting business case helps you justify and defend the project, then track what actually happens.

HOW WE ENGAGE WITH YOUR TEAMS

Many counterparts, one conversation

A project involves several leadership teams. We speak each one's language, and connect them.

FROM BUSINESS TO SYSTEM
  1. Business

    Processes, rules and priorities, with your HR director or another sponsor and operational teams.

  2. Value

    Assumptions, total cost of ownership and the value expected over time, with your CFO.

  3. Delivery

    Architecture, integrations, implementation roadmap and operations, with your CIO.
