Ithaca Business is independent of any ties to solution providers, therefore - if all you need is some tweaking around the edges - we'll tell you and help you tweak! On the other hand, if you need a business transformation, we'll work through every element with you and accompany you on the journey. Can we help you?
Where are we from?
Founded in early 2001, Ithaca has built an
enviable, worldwide reputation for developing and implementing innovative,
effective solutions, for everyone from innovative start-ups and all types of SMEs
to blue-chip, government and large private clients.
Our core principles of independence, doing what we
say we are going to do always and delivering value are as applicable today as
when we began.
We operate from offices in London, Melbourne and
Edinburgh and have undertaken projects throughout Europe, Asia, North America
and Australasia, delivering outstanding results across the spectrum of
strategy, performance, enablers and structure.
Ithaca's name derives from the Greek island of the
same name. Ithaca was once the island kingdom of Ulysses, a hero of the Trojan
War. After the end of the war Ulysses took another 10-years to reach Ithaca
having to fight Cyclops, repel the Siren's songs and escape Circe's seductive
embrace along the way.
Organisations today are not unlike Ulysses - they
have goals but frequently lack a map showing a way through the maze. Ithaca's
service profile is designed to provide not only the map, but a guide to show
the way, facilitating effective and sustainable change.
Who are we?
Ithaca was founded by - and has grown with -
people who saw that business could not be compartmentalised.
We understand that everything impacts on something
else and our solutions take that into account. The outcomes we implement are
dramatic and measurable for the organisation and for the bottom line.
Our proven, process-oriented approach, applied
together with robust business analysis has given Ithaca a strong track record
of success across numerous industry sectors.
We have particular expertise in seeing through the
implementation of the process and systems designs we develop for our clients.
In other words, more than strategy, more than systems integration and more than
a report - hands-on, risk-sharing hard work.
Ithaca's primary objective is to work with clients
to make sustainable change happen. We don't have pre-conceived ideas of what a
solution consists, each is determined on its merits.
After facilitating the creation of appropriate
business processes and matching organisational structures, we will, if
necessary, source the enablers that offer the support required, applying
stringent specifications to them to determine which is most suitable. Finally,
we accompany clients on the implementation journey - the most difficult step
for any organisation to achieve successfully - and we are prepared to do this
in a risk-sharing way.
