01Start with the problem
What are you facing?
Choose the one that sounds most like you. We will show you what is usually going on, how we would approach it, and where we have done it before.
01Our programme is slipping and nobody can say why
What is usually going on
Programmes rarely fail all at once. They drift, through unclear requirements, untracked dependencies and plans that describe hope rather than evidence. The fix starts with an honest picture of where things actually are.
02We need to use AI, but safely and for real value
What is usually going on
The question is rarely “should we use AI?” but “where does it beat a simpler answer, and what does it cost to run for real?” Many AI projects stall because nobody asked that before the pilot started.
Business cases fail when the numbers are not trusted. Optimism bias, missing whole-life costs and benefits nobody owns all give approvers a reason to say no, or to say “not yet”.
How we would approach it
Get the evidence
Build the model
Make the case
Where we have done it
A financial case that secured a multi-billion pound programme
Most technology overspend hides in plain sight, in contracts nobody has revisited, services nobody has compared and “cheap” options that cost more over their lifetime.
How we would approach it
Baseline and benchmark
Build the portfolio
Deliver the savings
Where we have done it
Millions of pounds of savings, with no loss of capability
05We have lots of data, but not the answers we need
What is usually going on
More data rarely means more insight. The value comes from asking the right business questions, getting the data into a shape that can answer them, and putting the results in front of the people who decide.
The cheapest time to find out an idea will not work is before you build it. A working prototype in front of real users answers questions that months of documents cannot.
How we would approach it
Explore the idea
Prototype it
Make it real
Where we have done it
A working prototype that helped new legislation pass
Millions of pounds of savings, with no loss of capability
Members of the Devsultants team provided support to a national policing organisation to help them reduce ongoing operational costs, freeing up funds to develop new capabilities to help reduce crime and save lives.
“The team demonstrated superb intellect and brought a much needed analytical approach to the work.”
