Boutique technology consultancy, Johannesburg

Turn technology ambition into shipped, measurable results.

We lead the technology programmes that are too tangled for a single discipline to carry, and we stay to deliver them. Strategy, analysis, architecture and delivery held by one accountable team.

What we do

Start with the situation you are in.

A clear first step for the delivery problem in front of you, from one accountable team.

01 · The programme is stuck

It reports green and nothing ships.

An independent diagnosis of the handoffs, decisions and capacity holding delivery back, followed by a plan to land it. Programme Rescue follows where the programme has to be turned around.

02 · The rollout has to land

A clear place to start

The Delivery Diagnostic

2 to 3 weeks · fixed fee

An evidenced answer to three questions: why delivery is behind, what it will cost to land, and which sequence gets it moving.

When to use it

A programme reports progress but is not delivering outcomes.
A rollout or migration is in trouble and the plan is no longer credible.
A decision to continue, reset or stop needs evidence behind it.

How it runs

ListenEvidence review and stakeholder interviews at every level.

TraceProcess and delivery data analysed to find unowned handoffs and capacity limits.

DecideAn executive readout with the trade-offs stated plainly.

Enquire about a Diagnostic

What you receive

An evidenced view of the blockage. Process data, interviews and the delivery toolchain, not only the status report.

A sequenced recovery plan. Scope, decisions, ownership, governance actions and the order of work made explicit.

A cost-to-land range. What it will take to finish, tied to delivery capacity and agreed scope, with the main risks.

An executive readout. A decision-ready conversation, with a handover format your team can run with.

Who does the work. One or two senior consultants, with the engagement lead involved from the first interview to the readout.

The fee. Fixed and agreed before work starts. It depends on the size of the programme, the number of workstreams and the number of stakeholders involved.

No obligation. The result stands on its own. Continue with Vizre only if it is the right next step.

Why Vizre

Senior ownership, without the coordination tax.

One team, end to end

The people who set the direction stay for the build. Context is never handed over, so intent survives to go-live.

Diagnosis before prescription

We find where work actually stalls using process mining and real operational data, and we say so plainly, even when it is inconvenient.

Small crews, scoped to the work

Diagnostic work runs with one or two senior consultants and delivery with a core crew of three to six. Fees are tied to scope and outcome, not headcount.

Case studies

Programmes landed across regulated, complex environments.

Clients are named only with permission, so these are described by sector and scale. Full references are available under NDA.

Diagnose Deliver Transfer

SharePoint on-premises to Microsoft 365

Workplace and content migration for a large South African mining group operating across multiple shafts, plants and corporate sites.

ScaleMultiple shafts, plants and corporate sites

Timeframe9 months

HandoverMigration runbook and adoption training

Outcome: Migrated the estate to Microsoft 365 over nine months with no unplanned downtime, decommissioned the legacy on-premises farm, and cut content-platform running cost materially year on year.

Client need

An ageing on-premises SharePoint farm carrying a decade of operational, safety and engineering content, expensive to maintain, out of support, and unusable from the field. Records retention and site-level access control could not be compromised in the move.

Our response

A content audit and information-architecture redesign first, so only what mattered moved. Then a pilot shaft migrated end to end, a repeatable migration runbook built from what it taught us, and the remaining sites run in waves, with retention policy, permissions model and adoption training delivered alongside each wave rather than after go-live.

Deliver Transfer

Nineteen-market digital rollout

Self-service, delivery and payments taken live across 850+ locations for a pan-African quick-service restaurant group.

Scale19 markets, 850+ locations

Timeframe8 months, against a two-year estimate

HandoverIn-country capability handed over

Outcome: Delivered in eight months against a two-year estimate, with market onboarding reduced from quarters to weeks.

Client need

Roll out digital ordering and payment across nineteen markets, each with its own POS estate, aggregators, acquirers and regulators, without nineteen separate integrations.

Our response

One integration layer defined and defended against local exception requests, proven in a pilot market, then scaled in waves with BAU governance and in-country capability handed over as each market went live.

Financial services. A programme reporting green for three quarters and shipping nothing.

ScaleFinancial services programme

Timeframe3 weeks

HandoverReplan accepted by the executive

Outcome: An evidenced replan accepted by the executive in three weeks, with scope cut to what the delivery capacity could actually carry.

Client need

An independent answer to why the programme was behind and what it would genuinely cost to land, not another status framework.

Our response

Process mining across the delivery toolchain, interviews at every level, and the unowned handoffs traced and named, then one sequenced plan the exec could decide on in a single sitting.

Records platform consolidation

National government

Outcome: One governed records platform replacing fragmented shared drives and site collections, with a retention model the department could evidence to audit.

DeliverTransfer

Compliance training platform

Financial services

Outcome: Compliance officers export board-ready CPD and completion evidence per organisation without a support request, and no learner record was migrated to get there.

Further references, including due-diligence and operating-model work, are available on request.

Ways of work

Four commitments we hold on every engagement.

They are what keeps a programme predictable once it stops being simple.

Team mapping a process on a whiteboard with sticky notes

Diagnose before prescribing

We arrive without a solution and find where the work stalls, from real operational data, not from the status report.

Pilot, scale, optimise, in that order

Prove it in one market or one site, standardise hard, and only then tune. Most rollout failures are a scale step the pilot never earned.

Small crews, scoped to the work

Process mining and structured analysis are standard. Crews stay small and fees are tied to the agreed outcome.

Handover is a deliverable

Escalation paths, clear ownership, dashboards someone opens, capability transferred deliberately. Scoped from the start, not bolted on.

How to engage us

Four shapes, in escalating commitment.

The firm

A boutique consultancy, structured for senior delivery.

Vizre was founded in 2012 on a single thesis: above a certain complexity, splitting a programme across four specialists costs more than it buys. We staff differently, a senior consultant who holds analysis, product, architecture and delivery together, with an experienced bench behind them.

Engagements run with one or two senior people for diagnostic work and a core crew of three to six for delivery. Associates are engaged per programme, people whose work we have seen under pressure, not CVs from a database, so we scale to the problem and scale down again afterwards.

Consultant profiles, credentials and references are available on request.

Vizre Consulting

Technology delivery, digital transformation and advisory. You are here.

Vizre Training →

QCTO-accredited FSP compliance, FICA and CPD training for financial services.

Practitioner credentials

PRINCE2, SAFe and Scrum practitioners on every engagement, with business and systems analysis, product ownership, process engineering and executive stakeholder management held in-house.

Building a product

We founded MUWS, an in-wall smart-power product in development. Five hardware iterations, non-dilutive funding and a manufacturing partner taught us where product programmes slip: certification, supply and funding. It is why we plan those first. Status: working prototypes completed, progressing through certification and pilot readiness.
