How the planning service works
The core of the discovery exercise is the development of an
information inventory which is created by undertaking a
‘quantitative’ analysis of system metrics and gaining a
‘qualitative’ view of the information that is created and stored.
The combination of these two approaches allows us to
understand the ‘what’ and the ‘why’ of the organisation's
information assets.
The quantitative analysis consists of summarising, counting and
grouping a number of characteristics of the information stored
in the shared drives and other systems. This would typically
include numbers of documents, a breakdown by file type,
number of folders, folder depth, date profiles (create, last access
dates etc.) and so on. These metrics reveal underlying
information management behaviours and are used to inform the
information architecture and solution specification.
The qualitative view is geared to understanding the nature of
the information, how staff use it and the value it has to the
organisation. The input will be gathered through a series of
interviews or workshops with relevant staff to identify
information findability and information management
requirements. This then informs the development of an
information architecture which reflects both the information
needs of the users and the nature of the content.

Equal opportunity

Equal opportunity

We take equality and diversity extremely seriously and reflect it our policies and our working environment.
There is no gender or other pay gap - pay is transparent and all staff are paid the same according to their level (Director/Senior Consultant/Consultant).
Flexible working and working from home is the default. Within the bounds of meeting client requirements our staff are free to manage their time however best suits their needs.
By having a default working from home approach we ensure that our workplace is accessible to all. Any special equipment that is required to accommodate those with disabilities can be provided.
We have always been an organisation with a majority of female staff and of the three company directors during this time two have been female.
