Selected practice experience across complex organisations

eXcelleRes was established in 2003 as a partnership focused on practical organisational development and change. Relevant professional experience associated with the practice spans digital delivery, enterprise transformation and organisational change, including experience gained before the partnership was formed.

The examples below illustrate individual professional assignments in energy, internet infrastructure, finance, media and the public sector. They are not presented as work per…

Energy and critical infrastructure

Relevant professional experience includes assignments in energy and critical infrastructure, including work by Milo Izzinosa with enterprise systems, SAP-related DevOps and platform teams at Alliander. These environments require operational reliability alongside necessary change. The lessons are practical: make dependencies visible, align priorities and strengthen collaboration and decision-making across functions.

Internet infrastructure and technology services

Selected professional assignments include work at AMS-IX supporting collaboration across specialist product and technology teams. Resilient operations, aligned priorities and clear ownership matter alongside delivery speed. These examples inform our emphasis on coordination, learning and cross-functional dependencies, without claiming that all partners held these roles.

Financial services, media and the public sector

Relevant individual professional experience also spans financial services, media, government and other complex organisations. The accountabilities, stakeholders and risks vary across these settings. A common challenge is connecting a clear business objective to feasible portfolio choices, organisational readiness and execution people can sustain.

What evidence of success should look like

We distinguish activities completed, changes adopted and business outcomes evidenced. When scoping an engagement, we seek a credible starting point, clear ownership and context-appropriate measures such as service reliability, lead time, adoption, quality or value. We do not invent results: a credible case explains what changed, what evidence is available and what remains uncertain.

Technology, platforms and enterprise systems

Experience with enterprise systems and technology platforms shows how legacy architecture, operational reliability, integration and process ownership can constrain change. We help translate such constraints into more transparent portfolio choices and achievable sequencing.

Organisational change and adoption

We favour introducing change with the people affected by it. Suitable pilots, early adopters, leadership involvement and regular feedback reveal practical barriers before scaling. The relevant test is whether working practices and outcomes improve, rather than whether a programme milestone is ticked off.

Cross-functional execution operating models

We work across programme, portfolio, product and specialist-team boundaries to surface decisions that may otherwise be missed. Clear ownership of outcomes, realistic capacity, proportionate escalation and effective review rhythms are often more useful than additional reporting or ceremonies.

What a credible case report would include

For formal client case studies, we would document the client context, baseline, interventions, adoption and measured outcomes with appropriate permission. Until such evidence is available, these examples describe relevant professional experience rather than independently validated business improvements.

Discuss a transformation challenge grounded in your context

Does one of these situations resemble your organisation? Tell us which result matters and what is slowing progress. Together, we can determine whether portfolio alignment, interim transformation leadership, targeted organisational change or a focused diagnosis is the most sensible first step.
