Taking ownership of your issues and resolving them
Hatstand consultancy is not about telling the client what's wrong, then leaving them to it.
Nor do we add needless new processes to an already complicated change environment. Instead,
we join the project team, sharing ownership, shouldering the risk, and partnering the client to
identify solutions and deliver them successfully. We identify obsolete and legacy processes,
admin and software and replace this with valuable integrated solutions to improve performance
and reduce risk.
Top down or bottom up?
The consultancy partnership can take a 'top-down' approach, beginning with an analysis of
the existing business or IT strategy, benchmarking it against best practice, and identifying
new opportunities. Alternatively it can look at the trading operation from 'bottom-up' - for
example executing a simple brief to review the process model for efficiency improvements.
Hatstand consultancy is structured to offer a service that ranges from identifying quick-wins
through to developing long-term solutions and strategy.
• Latest, Best Practice Consultancy, including direct market access, trading systems HA review and inter-connectivity systems review
• Development Consultancy, including requirements analysis, risk assessment for alternative options, implementation strategy and planning
