What We Do

A team of specialists, not a bench of generalists.

Software Design & Engineering

Senior engineers and architects who design, build, and ship resilient software — embedded directly in your delivery teams.

Enterprise Architecture

Strategic architecture that aligns technology decisions with business outcomes, scalability, and long-term maintainability.

Enterprise Readiness Assessments

Rigorous evaluation of people, process, and platform to determine what it takes to operate and scale like an enterprise.

Digital Marketing

Full-funnel digital strategy and execution that builds pipeline, brand equity, and measurable growth.

PR Consultancy

Media relations, narrative strategy, and reputation management to shape how the market sees you.

AI Strategy & Readiness

Pragmatic advice on where AI creates real value, plus the data, tooling, and governance foundations needed to adopt it responsibly.

Who We've Worked With

Long-term relationships, not one-off projects.

Some engagements last a few years. Others become long-standing partnerships. Either way, we stay embedded for as long as we add value.

The Evidence

Why embedding specialists beats hiring, early on.

At an early stage, speed and flexibility matter more than headcount. The data consistently shows embedded specialists reach productive output faster and carry less financial risk than a new hire.

68%

of European organisations cite cost efficiency as a leading driver for outsourcing specialist work, echoing findings from Deloitte's Global Outsourcing Survey across EU markets.

€4,000+

typical cost-per-hire for a single full-time specialist across EU markets, per European recruitment industry benchmarks — before onboarding, tooling, or ramp-up time.

30%+

of a first-year salary can be lost to a mis-hire, a widely cited benchmark for early-stage hiring risk across EU labour markets.

6–12 wks

typical time-to-fill for a specialist in-house role in the EU, versus days to embed a vetted Planist specialist already working alongside you.

How We Work

We don't consult from a distance. We embed.

Our specialists work inside your organisation until your desired goals are met — not just until the report is delivered.

01

Assess

We evaluate your current state across people, process, and platform to define what enterprise-ready actually means for you.

02

Embed

Our specialists join your team as if they were your own — working your tools, your rituals, your context.

03

Deliver

We drive the work forward alongside you, with clear milestones and accountability until outcomes are met.

04

Transfer

Knowledge and capability stay with your team, so the value we create keeps compounding after we step back.

Outcomes

Measured by results, not billable hours.

Insights

How we think about building enterprise-ready teams.

PERSPECTIVE

Why the first 90 days of a new department decide the next 3 years

Early structural decisions in a new IT, marketing, or PR function compound over time. Get them right before you scale.

PLAYBOOK

The embedded specialist model, explained

How pairing your team with senior specialists — instead of a traditional advisory engagement — shortens the path from plan to production.

FRAMEWORK

What 'enterprise ready' actually means

A practical framework for assessing whether your architecture, processes, and team can support the next stage of growth.

PERSPECTIVE

Marketing and PR as one function, not two

Why narrative and demand generation should be designed together from day one, not bolted on separately later.

FRAMEWORK

Assessing your organisation's AI readiness

Before adopting AI, get honest about your data quality, governance, and team capability — the real determinants of whether AI initiatives succeed.
