Overview

Activist were brought in to review the Council’s plan for the development a new Enterprise Resource Planning system. This included a review of the user requirements for the new system and an assessment of the procurement options.

Eric and the team were instrumental in helping me move the debate on from a defensive position around legacy interests with Board level colleagues to recognising the value in a strategic approach to resource planning and management supported by technologies that can bring that approach to life.

Their wider experience and knowledge across local government aided the discussion in ways that generic consulting had failed to do previously.
