Digital transformation: strong leadership and management
Effective digital transformation needs strong business leadership and management particularly in large, established organisations.
We can help you to:
- Create an agile organisation, balancing flexibility with rigour and control
- Break down organisational siloes
- Manage the complex ecosystem of suppliers and technology providers and ensure they are aligned to the same approach and outcomes
- Manage expectations around the transformation journey and understand where you’re likely to find complexity and challenges in your organisation.
- Blend the right mix of innovation and experience across the business and IT functions, ensuring clarity in key CMO, CDO and CIO roles.
Digital transformation: a different delivery approach
Digital transformation can be difficult to envisage and design. It’s hard to predict how customers and colleagues might really behave in practice. We can support you to start sustainably, learning from test pilots and small proofs of concept before scaling up and building a strong business case.
Our transformation specialists can help you look at the delivery model options up front and assess and adapt for your unique requirements, maturity and risk profile.
Digital transformation consultants who can deliver lasting change
Even with strong top-down leadership and sponsorship in place, it can be challenging to ensure sustained user adoption and realise digital transformation’s full benefits. Investing in strong change management from the start is critical, particularly where digital maturity is low in the organisation.
Berkeley can help you grow your operational capabilities and address any underlying business weaknesses. New skills and capabilities will require thinking about how to do recruitment, career development and culture change differently.
We can support you to build in measures for user adoption and benefits realisation early on, and check the business is really making the most of its new digital capabilities.
A digital transformation consultancy that gives you ownership
We understand that every organisation is unique and we don’t provide ready-made, off-the-shelf solutions. Our approach to digital transformation consulting means we help you develop and implement the right approach for your business, rather than a one-size-fits-all solution.
We do the work ‘with you’, not ‘to you’, achieving a solution that not only fits your business but gives your people the ownership and in turn, delivers lasting change benefits.
Berkeley specialises in complex transformation, alongside extensive experience in the latest digital approaches and technologies. We can help organisations successfully navigate their digital journeys, embed lasting change and realise the full benefits.”

Client stories
Delivering a strategic retail B2C Marketing & Digital Communications capability
We led both the business and IT delivery components of a major programme to build a leading-edge customer insight and marketing capability on behalf of the CMO. This was focused on establishing a set of advanced core competencies that included; customer data analytics / science, CRM, personalisation, and digital communication tooling.
Delivery of new e-commerce capabilities for a high-street retailer
We led the transformation to deliver new e-commerce platform with a new mobile site. This involved integrating back-end order management systems and warehouse and logistics providers through the supply chain, as well as enabling mobile apps and in-store kiosks. This delivered a step-change in time for the all-important Christmas period.
Enriching internal shipment, retailer ePOS and loyalty data for a large FMCG
Previous BI & analytics were fragmented across different functions and geographies. This programme looked to use richer data including ePOS, supply chain and loyalty card to provide better insight into customer resulting in stronger relationships and 11% growth in sales. We provided an interim Programme Director and several other key management roles.
Implementing a strategic consumer data analytics capability for a global FMCG
We delivered an in house, one-stop-shop for social listening and consumer analytics insights enabling brands to better understand and engage with consumers, develop strategies, conduct market research and plan marketing to drive growth and performance globally. An early proof of concept was stood up in a matter of weeks and enabled consumer behaviour to be analysed differently to yield results in changed marketing campaigns.
Strategy in a digital world
We helped develop the strategy for a packaging organisation to enable them to benefit from Digital trends and approaches. This included how analytics can help them deliver value-add services to their customers to optimise their logistics, using virtual reality to envisage how packages will look in shelf formats to optimise customers’ shelf-fill, and how IoT sensors can help improve package transportation and handling for better cost and quality outcomes.
Global cloud solution
We led the overall programme as well as business case and supplier selection streams to deliver a cloud solution for all internet and intranet content with 200+ sites spanning 100 countries, in 29 languages and five major brands.
Benefits of the transformation to create a new ‘digitally native’ internal web agency included: improved site resilience and flexibility, improved digital security, annual OPEX savings and a significantly reduced lead time over traditional methods of hardware procurement, rack and stack, deployment and testing.
