We support organisations to manage their data migration effectively across system implementations, data management platforms, and cloud migrations. We understand that data is at the foundation of every organisation and is a fundamental component of any digital change.
We use best practice to understand what mix of management and governance activities are best for an organisation, to meet both current and future data needs.
Project Health Checks
Our Project Health Checks can significantly improve project outcomes for an organisation. We have three levels of Health Checks:
- Ad-Hoc or Rapid Review
- Ongoing Review and Assurance
- Full Project Audit
Project setup or recovery
At CBO we use our tried-and-tested methods to make sure you have the building blocks needed for a successful project. Our experience has shown that these building blocks need to be in place when recovering a struggling project or setting up a new one.
A CBO project establishes key factors needed for project success, including:
- Structured governance
- Realistic planning and scheduling
- Effective risk management
- Commitment from leadership and team
Once established, the project can be handed back to your business or managed by one of our experienced CBO Project Managers.
