CBS Change Partnership Programme
The Consultancy conundrum.
The value in expert consultancy services is well documented, however, for smaller organisations the cost can sometimes appear prohibitive. So, how do you get that experience and insight to help you succeed without committing to significant work?
Here at CBS, we have considered this dilemma very carefully and have created a tailored solution to meet your needs.
CBS packaged consultancy services.
As a result, we now offer packaged services that provide great value and will help increase your confidence in the business and the IT changes you need to make.
Perfect for smaller organisations.
If you’re a relatively small organisation with a limited investment budget, we can offer a flexible, managed service for a modest annual commitment. You select the appropriate services for your change priorities and “drawdown” on your annual investment with CBS quarterly—putting you in control!
Tailored to your needs.
With an agreed number of days per quarter, CBS provides access to subject matter experts (such as payments, risk, finance, and technology specialists) who can provide input to your business cases, project plans, solution designs and test/implementation plans as an independent advisor.
Based on your internal change plans and industry programmes, we agree on priority focus areas for the quarter ahead. We then allocate the appropriate resources and time to the agreed priorities.
Complemented with a quarterly review to track the quality of CBS deliverables and to review overall service performance, our genuinely flexible model to provides access to our expert consultants and industry knowledge, helping you achieve your business goals and objectives.
