What our clients are saying

Deborah Macaly image

I have found Phase 3 to be responsive and solution focused especially when working in a pressurised environment. The input and the resource they provided enabled our HR and Payroll system procurement project to move at pace. Having Phase 3 on board enabled us to use our limited resources on other areas of the project.

I have thoroughly enjoyed working with Phase 3 over the last 8 years or so and remember my early phone calls and discussions with Assad, it seems like only yesterday, where has that time gone!

Phase 3 is the best organisation I have ever worked with, professional, capable, trustworthy & honest. You put the customer at the heart of everything you do and are always available to help and support. I have worked with several of your Consultants over the years and you are all of a similar characteristic.

A part of the scoping exercise is to identify the greatest value added within the Project Management role and therefore offer you an appropriate degree of intensity and method. In many cases, the ‘light touch’ is a great solution; or there may be clear requirement for the strength and commitment of an independent full-time project lead, or it may be useful for Quality Assurance.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is digital transformation project management?

Digital transformation project management involves overseeing the integration of digital technologies across all areas of a business. This process reshapes how your business operates and delivers value to its customers. Beyond the technical aspects, it also involves managing a cultural shift within an organisation, fostering continuous innovation, experimentation, and the rethinking of traditional business processes to improve efficiency and stay aligned with modern trends.

How can Phase 3 assist in your digital transformation project?

Phase 3 are specialist consultants who work closely with you to manage every stage of your digital transformation project, from creating the initial business case to full project implementation. We can help you select, implement, and manage your organisation’s HR, payroll, and finance technology, ensuring these systems are optimised for maximum value. Our comprehensive HRIS project management approach supports your business in navigating the complexities of digital transformation smoothly and effectively.

Are Phase 3 affiliated with certain systems?

No, we are proud to be independent consultants. This allows us to provide unbiased, tailored solutions for your business, ensuring that we recommend and implement the best systems to meet your specific needs. All project management is handled in-house by our experienced team, and our PMs work directly with technical experts, project teams, and product suppliers to ensure clear communication, translate requirements effectively, and deliver a seamless project experience. Our independence ensures that our focus remains on maximising the success of your digital transformation, rather than promoting any single product or platform.

What are the key stages in a digital transformation project?

Key stages typically include developing a business case, defining project goals, selecting suitable technologies, implementing systems, managing change, training staff, and providing post-implementation support. 

Phase 3 can provide support for as much or as little of the project as needed, ensuring a seamless transition while maintaining normal business operations throughout the process. 

How long does a digital transformation project typically take?

The duration can vary based on the scope and complexity of the project. Small projects might take a few months, while larger-scale transformations involving multiple systems or departments can take longer. Speak to our expert team to get a better idea of timescales in relation to your requirements.

What challenges and risks could arise from a digital transformation project?

Common challenges in any digital transformation project include resistance to change, technical integration issues, insufficient training, budget overruns, and unclear goals. A solid project management approach is crucial in addressing these challenges, and Phase 3 ensures that risks are carefully assessed and minimised throughout the project. Our team implements proactive risk management strategies, clear communication, and ongoing support to anticipate potential issues and keep the project on track, ensuring a smooth and successful transformation.
