Laura is a highly professional person who has the ability to operate at all levels in order to deliver the agreed work programme. She is very personable and as such engenders teamwork and an excellent working relationship. Laura can be tough when required, can certainly articulate her position and hold her own in demanding environments but always in a very courteous and straight manner. Laura will deliver what she is asked to do with minimum fuss. She knows her subject very well and applies this knowledge, experience and skill to excellent effect.

Grange specialises in aligning and executing IT and Business strategy. We achieve this by ensuring that IT programmes and services are focused on supporting the strategy and that all partners in the IT eco-system have clearly understood and aligned goals. Our focus is on the way organisations and their eco-system partners work together. Whether you are at the beginning of a new Transformation Programme or encountering difficulties in an existing Programme our alignment assessment process will help you. Our purpose is not to replace customer and partner leadership of the Programme but to enhance it with an independent view. The Grange process is underpinned by a toolset that captures and measures the key strategic objectives and is executed by an experienced team, each member of which has extensive experience of both senior customer and service-provider roles.
