The buttons to the left access the seven key pillars of our business.   Our excellence in delivering these is based upon our skills; our diagnosis and problem solving capabilities; our commitment and ability to deliver complex business transformation projects and, uniquely, our shared risk approach to business transformation .

Expertise

Vizone was born from and continues to grow on the back of our expertise in business transformation.  As a company we do not advertise our services.  We secure contracts via recommendations at company Board Level.  This means our legacy or what we leave behind after a project is as important to us as it is to our clients.  We survive and flourish due to our people, their expertise, knowledge and experience and, most importantly, our track record of delivery.  We like to have skin in the game alongside our clients as this creates a common win/win approach so we prefer to work on a risk and reward basis putting our money where our mouth is.  Each Vizone member knows the role they play in the team, they also take the time to understand the roles that others play on an assignment and respect their roles, competencies and responsibilities.  Vizone people have the ethos to share their expertise with the client team members to ensure that delivery continues once we have finished our role.  As a company Vizone recognises that we can learn more together than as individuals, and invests time in building a stronger unit.  This might involve business and client development, helping others in their assignments or simply maintaining regular contact.

Healthcheck

We have now been involved in many delivery programmes good and bad, this is our bread and butter and it is what we are good at.  We have over time developed a toolkit that ensures we continue to successfully deliver programmes.  Healthcheck is Vizone’s toolkit which analyses the strengths and weaknesses of a business transformation programme against key benchmarking scores from similar programmes across the world.  Our Healthcheck allows the significance for each of these scores to be tailored to the client’s business needs and identifies in priority order the key areas to be improved and the effort required to deliver the programme and, ultimately, increase shareholder value.  Healthcheck will identify key areas for improvement, develop an action plan for recovery or implementation and accurately define the resources needed to deliver on time and on budget.  Typically, a Healthcheck analysis will be delivered in 5-10 working days.  Organisations that have used our Healthcheck analysis include:

• Anglian Water Group
• Vodafone
• Thames Water
• British Energy
• Severn Trent Water

Recovery

Recovery is Vizone’s business transformation turnaround service, which aims to literally, turn around failing business change programmes.  Recovery goes to the heart of the issues which have derailed a business transformation.  It identifies and prioritises the key actions which will put it back on track quickly and the critical governance and controls needed to deliver the programme.  Business change can fail for a multitude of reasons, from team dynamics through to resourcing, supplier failure, technological issues, financial pressures, communication breakdowns and even lack of support for the programme in key departments of an organisation.  Vizone has experience of successfully overcoming all of these issues and putting robust plans and actions in place to recover the momentum in a business transformation programme.  Organisations that have used our Recovery programme include:

• Unum
• Orange
• Vodafone
• Thames Water
• British Energy
• Severn Trent Water

Delivery is what Vizone is all about.  Vizone’s implementation service ensures that business transformation plans deliver on their objectives and create shareholder value.  Delivery of business change requires a clear methodology which includes the scoping, managing and monitoring of programmes across our range of services from strategic planning, through to acquisitions and joint ventures, business planning, asset management, risk management, procurement and resourcing, business process engineering, strategic systems and data architecture and knowledge management.

Assurance

Assurance is Vizone’s integrity toolset which ensures that all aspects of a business transformation programme conform to the initial plan, has engaged the correct people and is in line with required standards, regulations and budgets.  Assurance covers all aspects of the change programme including business, user and supplier and aims to widen the key success factors for a project beyond delivery, which focuses on timescales, to ensure that other critical success factors are accomplished.  Key to this is the Programme Assurance Manager whose role is to police the project to ensure the project is driven in line with all success factors.  Organisations that have used our Assurance offering include:

• Anglian Water Group
• Scottish Power
• Thames Water
• Macquarie
• JP Morgan
• UPS
• British Energy

Risk and Reward

Risk and Reward is Vizone’s shared risk programme which aims to spread the risk of a business transformation project to ensure it is shouldered by both our client and ourselves.

The details of Risk & Reward will be outlined to you when we meet, but it is not an incentivisation scheme or a success bonus programme.  It is a method by which clients can ensure that there is no reward for failure when employing Vizone and it is our preferred way of working. 

We believe Risk & Reward is a fairer and more ethical way of doing business and that it demonstrates confidence in our people’s abilities to deliver change.
Organisations that have used our Risk & Reward offering include:

• AXA
• Network Rail
• Southern Water
• Vodafone
• JP Morgan
• UBS
• Challenger
