DBFS are experiencing an increasing demand to help clients formulate IT strategy and project roadmaps in response to unprecedented levels of change being demanded from Product and Business Operations. We believe that, being independent, we are able to help in-house strategists identify change drivers and formulate solutions free from the constraints imposed by internal agendas and politics.

DBFS are able to apply rigorous prioritization, based on negotiated business metrics, to construct a project roadmap, with each project having outline solution description and broad dimensions, providing an audit trail tying back to the Operational or Product strategy.

Our buy side clients are increasingly seeing the value in undertaking this exercise with our help rather than utilizing permanent headcount to undertake it themselves. Even where clients are broadly comfortable with their roadmap, performing an independent review can prove to be of considerable benefit, in providing confidence in the end result and in filling in gaps often inherent in an internal process. Having a tight and rigorous data set (cost, risk, benefits, scope etc) around the future project roadmap provides a solid basis on which to undertake execution and prevents organizations continually being distracted by ongoing strategic doubt.
