The programme has been exceptional
"Methods have been totally onboard with the bigger picture, expressing a real desire to make a difference. Their work has been backed up with a framework of working that's allowed ITSM to expand at rate that has provided a solid foundation. The difference they have made is without doubt a major contributory factor to the success we are having."
Invaluable
"Methods have been invaluable to the project. They have helped us to move at a pace we could never have been able to do by ourselves."
Take back control
"Methods brought a wealth of knowledge, experience and ideas to the table. Their assistance was invaluable, their honesty and integrity welcomed, and their agility was both critical and collaborative. I am very grateful to Methods for assisting us to achieve a challenging time frame to take back control of the IT estate."
Methods' team put us first
"It was clear to us that Methods had the knowledge and expertise that stood head and shoulders above the competition. The delivery has been very professional, and importantly the business felt that the Methods team put us first, and we could trust them. The consultants brought a wealth of knowledge and experience, giving the business the confidence to break away from the normal collaboration approach and set up a delivery model that met the business needs without compromise."
An exemplar
"A model for how all statistics should be developed. An exemplar."
Transformed
"The nature of our funding business is complex. The work we are doing is transforming how the core funding business will operate in the future. Whilst we did not set out to establish Methods as our main supplier, the quality of work, services and people has naturally led us to this place, helping us to grow and develop our internal skills in both user centred agile delivery and platform developments."
Back on track
"I had high-performing, credible people doing challenging jobs arriving mid-project and having to pick-up and run. I am attracted to the collegiality of Methods…the mixed Methods and (incumbent) team are working well together. This enabled us to up our game, progress at a faster rate, delivering a more comprehensive and professional service, resulting in the budget being back on track."
Tight timescales
"Methods helped us to scope the project (digital services platform implementation) and design an achievable implementation plane. They provided the delivery and technical expertise required to successfully deliver this complex, high profile project to tight timescales."
Substantial savings
"Thanks to the work of the Methods Digital team, we have managed to gain significant momentum towards strategic change within the organisation. The focus areas we identified together are already being tackled, and are the foundations for realising substantial savings over the course of the next 3 years and beyond. "
Understood and challenged us
"Really enjoyed working with you, you're unlike other consultancies, you provided expertise and challenge in a really friendly and constructive way. You understood what we were trying to achieve and have challenged us to think differently and move at pace."
