Antares Consultancy helps organisations design, lead and deliver complex business transformation.

We work across business processes, technology, operating models, organisational change and AI, providing practical delivery support from initial problem definition through to implementation and benefits realisation.

Our focus is not simply on recommending what should change. We work alongside client teams to make that change happen.

Clients typically engage us when they are facing a complex change that requires additional expertise, leadership or delivery capacity.

This may include a major transformation programme, implementation of a new system, adoption of AI, redesign of an operating model, recovery of a programme that is underperforming, or a business problem where the right solution has not yet been clearly defined.

We can support an existing leadership team or take responsibility for leading defined areas of the transformation.

Our approach is strongly delivery-focused.

Rather than stopping at strategy, recommendations or a transformation roadmap, we can remain involved throughout implementation, testing, deployment, organisational change and transition into business-as-usual operations.

We work closely with the people who understand the organisation best, combining their operational knowledge with our transformation and delivery expertise.

We support business and technology transformation programmes including:

• Digital and technology transformation
• ERP and enterprise system implementation
• AI adoption and implementation
• Target Operating Model design
• Process improvement and redesign
• Organisational change
• Programme mobilisation and governance
• Programme and project recovery
• Procurement and implementation of new solutions

Our role is tailored to the scale, complexity and needs of each organisation.

Yes.

We can support the complete transformation lifecycle, including discovery, problem definition, business case development, planning, governance, solution selection, implementation, testing, training, change management, deployment and post-implementation support.

Alternatively, we can provide targeted expertise for a particular stage or workstream within an existing programme.

Yes. In many cases, defining the problem properly is the most important first step.

We work with operational teams and stakeholders to understand how the organisation currently works, identify root causes and establish the outcomes that need to be achieved.

From there, we can help define, evaluate and implement the most appropriate solution rather than beginning with a predetermined technology or product.

We help organisations move from interest in AI to practical, controlled adoption.

Our AI services include readiness assessment, identification and prioritisation of use cases, AI strategy and roadmaps, governance, implementation support, workforce training, organisational change and post-implementation optimisation.

The objective is to identify where AI can create genuine business value and then establish the processes, controls and capabilities required to implement it successfully.

Our role can extend beyond strategy.

Depending on the requirement, we can help define the use case, assess available solutions, select the appropriate technology, manage implementation, coordinate suppliers, support integration and prepare the organisation for adoption.

Where a bespoke solution is appropriate, we can also support the definition and delivery of that solution as part of the wider transformation programme.

Yes.

We can independently assess an underperforming programme or project, establish the underlying causes, identify immediate priorities and create a practical recovery plan.

Where required, we can then support or lead the recovery, strengthening governance, planning, reporting, stakeholder management and delivery controls until the programme is stabilised.

Yes.

Our experience spans both private-sector organisations and complex public-sector environments.

The transformation disciplines we apply, including governance, process improvement, programme management, organisational change and benefits delivery, are adaptable to different sectors and operating environments.

We are particularly suited to organisations dealing with complex operations, multiple stakeholders, significant technology change or programmes where delivery risk is high.

The determining factor is usually the complexity and importance of the challenge rather than the size of the organisation alone.

Yes.

We frequently work as part of an integrated client team and can operate alongside internal leadership, operational teams, technology functions, existing consultancies and third-party suppliers.

Our role is to create clarity around responsibilities, decisions, dependencies and outcomes so that everyone involved in the transformation can work effectively towards the same objectives.
