Independent Reviews

Get an unbiased, independent perspective on your projects, IT systems, or management processes. Based on years of experience, our reviewers provide validation and recommendations to address hidden risks and opportunities.

Independent Reviews

We conduct objective reviews or studies that are sometimes not feasible to perform in-house. In some situations, such reviews are requested for regulatory or corporate governance reasons, in other cases we are invited by customers to conduct these reviews as a way to discover and manage risks.

There are a variety of reviews that we conduct.

Management System Reviews

Review management systems for comprehensiveness and consistency. Identify issues, risks and opportunities for improvement. Recommend solutions to address the gaps.

IT Systems Reviews

Review current IT systems to identify issues or risks related to functionality, usage, performance, reliability or ongoing maintenance. Recommend options and ideas to mitigate challenges.

Project Reviews & Health-Checks

Review project activities, plans and interim deliverables to identify risks and issues. Put together constructive recommendations and work with the team to implement them.

Readiness Assessments

Evaluate whether your business is ready for specific technology, process, organization or other changes. Identify strengths and weaknesses, and develop recommendations to plug the gaps.
