DIGITAL DONE RIGHT™

Welcome to the Ford Consultancy Group

We Are Your New Strategic Partner

The Ford Consultancy Group is a multi-national leader in digital innovation. Grounded in the latest industry-thinking, we help leaders and organizations trailblaze through digital transformation. Founded by a highly experienced former Microsoft executive and industry award-winning CIO, our team is ready to connect and discover how you will benefit from our framework of Digital Done Right™.

Our Proven Framework of Digital Done Right™

Backed by years of industry experience, our team has developed a framework that helps your organization navigate the evolution of the digital-era.  

Vision-Led Transformation
Be clear why you exist, identify your purpose to inspire, align private passion with corporate aspiration, and provide clarity of pursuit that affords focus. Vision provides direction, leadership creates purpose.

"It's not what the vision is, it's what the vision does."
- Peter Senge

Tech-Forward Business
Promote disruption and innovation over traditional, organic, business-led improvement. The engine driving growth in business is technology - demanding a stronger technology acumen and influence at the top table.

“The great growling engine of change – technology.”
- Alvin Toffler

Priority Driven Execution
Ruthlessly prioritize what will propel you forward... and deliver faster. Embrace agility at your core, using deliberate leader intent to connect the organization to what is most important. Alignment is simply not enough.

“We don’t drift in good directions. We discipline and prioritize ourselves there.”
- Andy Stanley

Empowered Modern IT
Elevate IT from being a good order taker, to boldly leading your digital transformation. Adopt a product-based approach to modern engineering, building a high-performance DevOps engine as you enthusiastically embrace the cloud.

“Vision without execution is hallucination.”
- Thomas A. Edison

Every Communication Matters
Create a leadership communication platform that connects the organization to what’s important, inspires them, and mobilizes them to act. Attention is the world’s new scarce resource - the frames you choose and the words you use matter.

“In a noisy and disruptive era, no one owes you their attention.”
- Bernard Kelvin Clive

Culture is the Multiplier
Business is personal, even when the mode is not. Culture represents the collective values, beliefs, and principles within your organization; influencing the way people interact. Make your culture the multiplier – the greater the focus, the richer the dividend.

“Great things in business are never done by one person.”
- Steve Jobs
