Expert Project Support For Implementing a Modern Workplace

We’ll support your business to increase efficiency and productivity with the help of digital tools you’re probably already familiar with.

A Modern Workplace isn’t always about overhauling every aspect of your business. Sometimes it’s using what you’ve got more effectively. But when you do introduce new systems to complement your existing stack, you’ll want to be sure you’re choosing the right product and that you’re making the very most of it.

Modern Workplace / Modern Workplace Project Consultancy

Empower your workforce with technology that helps them capitalise on opportunities and collaborate.

For many businesses, their hands were forced during the pandemic to rush into modern work practices that were less common at the time, like working from home or agile workforces. Teams were ushered home with not much more than a laptop and a VPN, but it’s probably no longer fit for purpose. These legacy systems and processes reduce productivity and probably cost you money in the long-run as a result and affect how secure your systems are.

Since the office can be anywhere now (in the office, coworking spaces, people’s dining rooms and even on the road), many businesses are choosing to work smarter not harder, and adopt a modern workplace.

With the right use of technologies, a connected workforce is simple to achieve and sustain and can be key for attracting talent and helping drive business strategies and revenue. Sometimes, you just need a little helping hand to get started, identify what you actually need, and implement it the right way so that you get buy-in from your teams and adoption is seamless and cost-effective.

With over 30 years of experience, multiple awards and accreditations, including our Microsoft Gold Partner status (the highest level you can get), and thousands of happy customers, we can help virtually any business implement a modern workplace.

We’re not a one-size-fits-all business. Our Modern Workplace Consultants will work with you to identify your specific needs or gaps. Whether it’s unifying communications, connecting teams, improving working experiences, promoting productivity, simplifying processes, optimising your spend—or all the above—we are here to help you achieve success with fully managed projects.

If you’re not sure where to start, book a consultation above, or request a free IT review, where we’ll learn everything we need to know about your business so we can best advise.

A typical project plan, tailored to each business we work with. No two business is the same, so why would your project be?

Initial Introduction

First up, there’ll be an initial introduction over Teams (or in person if you prefer) with one of our modern workplace consultants. They each have a wealth of experience and expertise under their belts, so this is a great opportunity to ask all the questions that you need and help with determining what the best route for you is; you’ll see demos of previous projects and get a much clearer idea of what you can achieve.

Getting prepared

There’s not a lot of leg work on your part for any of our strategy reviews. All we need is for you to come with an open mind and to come armed with questions, to ensure that you can cover all your areas of concern around a project, or what the outcomes for your business should look like. Have a good think beforehand about what it is you want to get out of this – we can help here too and oftentimes it becomes much clearer for your decision-makers after our strategy reviews.

What-Happens-2

Detailed scoping

This is where we’ll get down into the nitty gritty. We’ll join you in person and we’ll take the time to learn the ins and outs of your business. We’ll speak with section heads and the senior people in the business who can help us understand everything: systems you use, process times, pitfalls that you know about and your current costs. We’ll drill down into every detail of your strategy as it is so we can better advise on what it should be and produce a 1, 3 and 5 year plan.

What-Happens-3

Detailed report and visuals

Once we have a deep understanding of your business IT, including any gaps, we can give you a detailed report. This will be incredibly helpful in helping you understand your current position. It’s not often you have the opportunity to see a detailed and holistic view of your current IT and technology mapped out – all labelled and with key action points. You’ll also get visual diagrams which cover key topics starting from the year the consultancy begins and what the next five years should look like. We’ll outline priorities and we’ll help you understand budgets, so you’ll benefit from a fully costed breakdown of what’s to come long into the future.

Project management

Like every customer at The HBP Group, you’ll have a dedicated point of contact within The HBP Group, which will be a highly-experienced Account Manager who oversees the project in its entirety with you. Every one of our projects follows PRINCE2 project management processes, so is fully detailed and documented, with clear steps outlined so you know exactly what is happening and when it is happening.

What-Happens-5

Project implementation

You’ll receive a project schedule, which ensures that there is clarity between everyone of when each key milestone should be completed. By assigning tasks, the progress of key jobs can be seen, so there is opportunity for discussion and updates. Then, the most important step of any project, implementation and go-live. We’ll be here at every step and will provide guidance and support in whatever capacity you need.

Post-go live

Our modern workplace project consultancy doesn’t just end when the implementation has been successful. You’ll still have us post-go live too. That means you can take the time to settle into your new way of working with the confidence that we’re still here on the side lines if you need us. We’ll conduct a complete review so we can ensure that the project has gone exactly how we set out for it too.
