Led by James McDonagh
James provides senior architecture leadership when programmes need clearer direction, stronger decision-making and tighter control across suppliers, teams and delivery.
​
He works directly with sponsors, delivery leaders and architecture teams to establish ownership, resolve ambiguity, challenge suppliers and connect architecture to implementation.
With more than 25 years across regulated, government, consumer and technology environments, he is typically brought in where the cost of delay, drift or poor decisions is high.
