“Ghyston worked collaboratively with our team, from the senior execs to the developers on the ground, to really get under the skin of our challenges and opportunities. The recommendations they came up with were practical and helpfully prioritised to deliver improvements fast. Because of how they communicated openly throughout the process, we started to feel the benefits even before the first formal report was delivered.”
