About Business Acceleration

We help you to save money, pure and simple.

So here's the thing: running projects is difficult, especially where they involve technology. We often see headlines showing high profile projects in crisis and even cancelled after millions have been spent on them.

This is money straight down the drain.

So here are some of the facts:

  • 70% of projects fail to meet their objectives* – this applies across companies of all sizes. In fact generally the larger companies tend to have an even lower success rate
  • Many of the failures can be attributed to the same core problems – there is plenty of best practice advice available but it is generally not applied sufficiently well to avoid the pitfalls

Is your project heading in this direction?

The good news is that by addressing some of these common problems, you can really make a big difference and dramatically reduce the amount of time and money wasted. We can show you how, with the right support, you can turn around troublesome projects (or recognise when to stop them). And make big increases to your return on investment. 

Managing Partners

Mark Vincent, Msc

I have delivered and consulted on a wide range of successful projects and programmes in financial services, manufacturing, distribution & new media and in many different countries.

My track record is proof that project teams regardless of individual backgrounds, cultures and specialisms can collectively achieve great things under the right leadership, with the right focus on the business goals; and that these principles can be applied universally

I have found that at the core of every change is the need to take all stakeholders with you and that requires the right kind of personality: someone who can communicate well, build bridges, resolve conflicts and ultimately take ownership and get the job done.
