What We Solve

what we do at Derwan Consultants

Helping Tech Leaders Fix What’s Slowing Them Down

We help technology and digital leaders solve complex organisational and delivery challenges in fast-paced, high-stakes environments.

Our consultancy is focused on the real-world problems leaders face daily, such as:

  • Poor team structures that hinder performance and clarity
  • Disengaged middle management, causing bottlenecks in execution
  • Misalignment between team activities and strategic business goals
  • Agile practices that fail to meet critical, business-driven deadlines

These issues aren’t just operational; they’re strategic levers that affect your ability to scale, innovate, and respond to change.

We work with leaders who need to turn uncertainty into clarity, and ambition into action, creating high-functioning organisations that deliver at pace and with purpose.

Where Tech Strategy Meets Organisational Reality

We support technology and digital leaders navigating complex transformations—where architecture, organisation, and politics often collide.

The problems we address include:

  • Unclear or competing architectural and organisational options
  • Strategic decisions hampered by political dynamics or lack of shared understanding
  • Difficulty balancing long-term goals with immediate delivery pressures
  • Uncertainty around assumptions and future-state scenarios

Our approach is grounded in understanding each client's unique context—technical, organizational, and political. We clarify needs, uncover key assumptions, and acknowledge uncertainty when needed. Through structured thinking and meaningful metrics, we help leaders make confident, evidence-based decisions in complex environments where clarity may be limited but impact remains high.

The Project Discipline Your Strategy Deserves

Project success is not just about delivery—it’s about leadership, structure, and discipline under pressure. That’s where we come in.

We work with digital and technology organisations running high-stakes initiatives, where the complexity is high, stakes are visible, and failure isn’t an option. Yet many teams lack the experience, mindset, or support to manage these projects effectively.

Clients turn to us when:

  • Their project owners need guidance, not just accountability
  • High-priority initiatives are at risk of delay, confusion, or failure
  • There’s no internal capability to run a professional PMO—but the project demands it
  • The organisation is transforming, but no one is holding the pieces together

We coach project owners, embed experienced professionals, and build PMO functions that drive progress, clarity, and results. We’ve done it repeatedly—quietly, reliably, and successfully.

A client sponsoring our assignment once told us "We are UFOs!" He knew—without us, the transformation wouldn’t take off. A few months later, he was being congratulated by the Executive Board. He had delivered an ambitious transformation.
