Northern Value Creators and FluidIT bring you this forum for online discussion

Only 29% of IT projects are successful*. Of the rest, about half get rescued and many fail completely. Responsibility for IT and digital projects often sits with Financial Directors who struggle to accurately predict outcomes, minimise risks and control costs.

Gareth Murphy and Jonty Abbott from FluidIT and Simon Cookson from Northern Value Creators, welcome FDs and CFOs to this roundtable where we’ll talk about how to guarantee that return on investment:

time, scope and cost, what’s the most important?
scrutinising benefits vs scrutinising costs
why building a great team is the most effective risk mitigation strategy

This event is invitation only – a space for industry peers to talk about challenges and share best practice.

We recently engaged Fluid on to perform a desktop exercise on benchmarking a new finance system. Sarah, their business analyst impressed us so much during this piece of work, that we signed them up to support us through the entire project. We wouldn’t be surviving without Sarah and it was the best decision we made."

The team at Fluid delivered an insightful technology diligence review that had an operational focus, as well as demonstrating a commercial mindset. It definitely helped give us the confidence to invest in this tech-enabled business, as well as establishing a clear view of the risks and opportunities that would need to be addressed, and a short to medium term plan of action that stakeholders bought into."
