Why AQUTAS?
​
Cyber-security risks are growing and as the sprint for AI accelerates, technology continues to be one of the highest priorities for organisations. Companies seeking automation and efficiency have an appetite for larger technology portfolios with more complex projects, all whilst still expecting delivery at speed. This comes with an exacerbated risk of operational or project failure if technology teams are not effectively trained to cope with these increasing demands. The skills required to manage and deliver technology projects are also rapidly evolving, plus evidence is growing that technology professionals across all industries have higher mental health risks, especially feeling isolated and disengaged from their organisations. AQUTAS are experts in streamlining operations, upskilling, and increasing resilience in technology professionals and teams, aiming to help create an environment setup for success.

Our Services
Planning and Governance
The risk of project failure is growing and with the introduction of more complex technology, recovery costs are getting higher. Robust planning, prioritization, governance and early intervention is key to minimising risk and maximising the probability of success. We have vast expertise in P3M processes and provide industry leading templates to help develop a high value investment portfolio, plus manage a project from start to completion. Our PMO as a service is a cost- effective solution whilst we uplift staff on fit-for-purpose governance. This provides immediate value and visibility through meaningful and transparent reporting.
Process Reviews and Optimisation
A clear, robust, and efficient workflow is essential for any team or project to be effective. Continuous improvement and optimisation is essential to avoid processes becoming convoluted, thereon running a risk of inefficiency or circumvention. We conduct process audits and recommend ways to improve project and IT operations. This includes complicated DevOps processes or investigating ways to synergise the different functions of an organisation, enabling a workflow for better cross-functional operations. We are experienced in a variety of delivery models and make recommendations based on the ideal setup for our clients.
Management and Leadership Training and Coaching
Management and leadership positions require certain skills that people may not be exposed to earlier in their careers. These skills commonly require behavioral change with specific training requirements to help expand thinking. IT professionals who come from technical backgrounds in particular sometimes need additional support to be able to learn these skills. AQUTAS offers training sessions for teams and regular coaching for individuals to help uplift these skills. Our training program is wider than most other programs, encompassing a range of topics including communication, influence, people management, stakeholder management, and more.
Performance and Resilience Training and Coaching
There is compounding evidence of increased mental health risks for people working in technology. IT professionals might have spent years working in front of a computer, leading to an increased risk of feeling isolated and disengaged from the organisation, and society in general. The introduction of AI in particular is exacerbating the risk with uncertainty around future needs. AQUTAS offers training and ongoing coaching to help teams or individuals increase resilience and consequently, have better mental health and performance. We help our clients improve their technology culture and increase productivity.
