Delivery is complex.What gets in the way usually isn’t.
Sonnetix is a consultancy for organisations that need change to work: strategy and transformation, organisational improvement and programme delivery. We’ve designed, built and run the technology ourselves, so our advice holds up when it meets reality.
We start with the change you need to make
Implementing a shiny new tool isn’t the goal. Making a lasting difference to how your organisation works is. So we work backwards from the problem you need to solve, and stay with it until the change has landed.
Strategy and transformation
Turning vision into a roadmap you can actually deliver: priorities decided deliberately, business outcomes balanced against technical reality, and plans that are honest about uncertainty.
Organisational improvement
Finding the simple things that complexity hides, from unmade decisions to too much work in progress, and fixing the causes rather than the symptoms.
Programme and project delivery
Experienced leadership that takes ownership and drives delivery from mobilisation to handover, including recovering programmes that have gone off track.
Delivery and service reviews
A fresh set of eyes on how your delivery and service processes really work, compared with good practice, and an improvement plan your teams can act on.
Hands-on technical delivery
Our consultancy is grounded in doing the work. We still design, build, test and run technology for our clients, across many sectors and technologies.
Software development
Web and mobile applications, cloud services, systems integration and data migration, from business case through to handover to service operations.
Software testing
Context-driven test strategy, agile test teams and automation that frees skilled testers to find what matters.
Managed service design and delivery
A single point of contact for the support of IT and communications, designed around your needs with simple commercial models.
The org chart shows the boxes. The work happens on the lines between them.
How we think
Short films on the everyday problems that quietly derail delivery, and what to do about them.

How we work
Six principles shape every assignment, whether we’re building a solution, running a service or recovering a programme in trouble.
Understand the goals
The vision, the problem we’re solving and the difference we want to make stay at the front of every decision.
Work together
We take the time to understand every stakeholder’s perspective. Respecting the differences reduces friction.
Start with good practice
Established good practice is our starting point, tailored to your needs and your culture. It’s never one size fits all.
Plan ahead
We plan incrementally, in more detail as the work gets closer, and build uncertainty into the plan rather than wishing it away.
Take ownership
It isn’t done until it’s done. We may delegate, but we don’t abdicate.
Respond to change
Neither slaves to the plan nor hiding behind “agile”. We know the difference between being agile and doing Agile.
If any of this sounds familiar, let’s talk.
Sometimes it takes a fresh set of eyes to see the obvious and ask the simple questions, without judgement.
