We're proud to announce that we have won Most Customer Focused Digital Transformation Specialists 2021 - Greater Manchester in the Corporate Vision Small Business Awards.

We work extremely hard to build long-lasting relationships with our clients, building a deep knowledge and understanding of their business and their customers. We strive to improve the customer experience at every step of the journey, and the software we build shows how much we care about the work we do.

This is the second award we've won, having won Best Bespoke Software Development Consultancy - North West England in the 2020 awards, along with three other awards in 2020 and 2021.

As a small business, it's great to be recognised in awards that are not "pay-to-play" and recognise real achievement, so we're extremely proud of the awards we've won, and this latest award is further validation that we continue to provide exceptional value for money for our clients.

The Small Business Awards have been a part of the Corporate Vision awards programmes since 2016, with an aim to recognise innovative and hard-working organisations, and their owners. With so many obstacles to overcome over the last year, it is more important than ever to support small businesses however we can.

According to the FSB, SMEs make up 90% of the business population worldwide, and account for 50% of employment. With the economy relying on small businesses so heavily, it’s important to recognise their efforts as they help to shape the corporate landscape.

Awards Coordinator Gabrielle Ellis took a moment to discuss the success of those recognised in this year’s programme: “Small businesses are the backbone of the economy, and their work should be recognised to match their efforts. We offer our sincere congratulations to all the winners, and good luck for the future.”

You Don’t Have an AI Strategy. You Have a Dependency

Many businesses are moving quickly with AI, but speed can hide fragility. When a workflow quietly becomes dependent on one model, one provider, and one set of behaviours nobody controls, useful experimentation can turn into operational risk.

In this post, we explore why AI strategy is not about picking today’s best model, but building the architecture, context, and control to adapt when models change.

You bought Lean Six Sigma and it didn’t change a thing

If Lean Six Sigma did not materially change how work flows through your organisation, that was not bad luck. It was a choice. This article argues why optimisation is the wrong response to a broken operating model, and why redesign is now a matter of survival, not preference.
