Shanker-Grandpierre Consulting
Build things that matter
Services
Most (70-80%) digital transformations fail.
Even well-funded initiatives collapse under misaligned ambition, over-engineered solutions, and poor commercial translation. In mid-sized firms, complexity rises, costs escalate, but EBITDA stalls. This is the value gap I close.
I deliver technology-enabled transformation grounded in objective diagnostics and operational realism. My cross-sector experience spanning global financial and tech firms, media, regulatory bodies, academia and public institutions gives me a rare vantage on how technology drives business value across scale, maturity, and constraint
Diagnostic Engagement
(4-6 weeks)
I deliver a time-bound diagnostic that surfaces execution blockers across talent, platform, and process. Outputs pinpoint root causes of underperformance and define actionable, context-specific remediation paths.
​
Deliverables:
-
Technology Role Definition: Clarify whether tech plays a primary, secondary, or enabling role in the value strategy.
-
Current-State Assessment: Audit gaps in tech’s elevation to strategic partner across product, process, and people.
-
Capability Audit: Evaluate architecture maturity, delivery velocity, product discipline, infrastructure resilience, and data fluency.
-
Future-State Design: Define required capabilities, stack-rank by impact and investment, and outline technology, security, and safety posture.
-
Execution Roadmap: Deliver a realistic action plan to bridge current and future state—tied to business constraints
