What Dexlab does and what you get from it.

Every engagement starts with a free call. Everything after that is paid, scoped and defined before you commit. You can stop after any step. The work belongs to you from the moment it is delivered.

Operational Chaos Mapping Session

A structured working session to map the real state of your business. Not the version on paper or in the org chart. The version that actually exists when you look at how work gets done day to day.

We look at your systems, data, processes and where the friction comes from. Who owns what. Where information gets lost. Which tools are duplicated. Where the manual workarounds live.

The session is paid from the start because the output has immediate commercial value. You do not need to go further to get something useful. Most businesses that go through it cannot believe they had not done it sooner.

What you walk away with
A written map of where the chaos is

Clear enough to share with your team. Specific enough to act on.

What it is costing

In time, money, owner attention and missed opportunity. Putting a number on it makes the decision to fix it easier.

Where it originates

The source of the problem, not just the symptoms. Most businesses have been treating the wrong thing.

Operational Readiness Audit

A full diagnostic across every layer of how your business operates. We assess your foundations against ten rungs: clarity, strategy, governance, accountability, process, change management, data, technology, automation and AI readiness.

Each rung is assessed honestly. Where the foundations are solid, we confirm it. Where they are weak, we name it and explain what it is costing you. The problem you came in with is rarely the root cause. The audit finds what is underneath it.

Fixed fee. Defined scope. You know what you are getting before you commit. The output is a prioritised order of attack in plain English, not a report that sits in a drawer.

What you walk away with
Root causes, not just symptoms

The actual reason the problems keep coming back, not the surface-level version your team has been trying to fix.

A prioritised plan of attack

What to fix first, what to fix next and what can wait. In an order that reflects cost, risk and dependencies.

Yours to keep and act on

Whether you fix things yourself or bring in help, the output belongs to you from the moment it is delivered.

Paid · Fixed fee · Defined outcome

Fix Sprint

A fixed-term engagement to tackle the highest-priority issues identified in the audit. One problem. One defined outcome. A measurable result at the end of it.

The scope, timeline and deliverable are agreed before the engagement starts. You know what you are paying for and what you will receive. The scope does not move because it is locked at the start.

This is not a report. It is the implementation. A process rebuilt, a data structure redesigned, a system migrated, a workflow automated. The deliverable is the outcome, not a document describing what it should look like.

Outcome guarantee. If the defined outcome agreed at the start is not delivered, you pay nothing. No argument, no paperwork.

Sprint examples
Process redesign and documentation

Map the real process, remove the waste, assign ownership and document it in a format the team will actually use.

Data consolidation and governance

Pull fragmented data into a single trusted source. Put governance in place so it stays clean.

Systems rationalisation

Audit every tool, remove the redundancy, cut the spend on things nobody is properly using.

Workflow automation

Take one manual, repeatable process and automate it end to end. Measurable time reduction from day one.

Ongoing Advisory

For businesses where the problems are broader than a single sprint and where ongoing technology leadership makes more sense than periodic projects.

I guide, challenge, set direction and keep decisions honest. Your team executes. I attend key meetings, review decisions and course-correct when things drift. The aim is to build internal capability, not dependency.

For businesses that need a named person holding the technology leadership role, this can become a fractional technology leadership arrangement. Board-level accountability without a full-time salary.

What this covers
Technology and systems strategy

Setting direction for technology investment. Making sure every decision connects to a commercial outcome.

Vendor and platform decisions

Independent evaluation. No vendor agenda. The recommendation has to fit the problem.

Roadmap oversight

Attending key meetings, reviewing progress and catching drift before it turns into wasted spend.

Fractional technology leadership

Named accountability at board level. The full weight of a technology leader without the full-time cost.

Areas of expertise

The problems these services are built to solve.

Operational Systems and Process

Mapping how work actually gets done, finding where the friction comes from and rebuilding the processes and systems that are slowing the business down.

Data Architecture and Governance

Consolidating fragmented data, building structures that support decision-making and putting governance in place before it becomes a regulator or customer problem.

Technology Strategy

Aligning technology investment with commercial objectives so every pound spent has a clear reason and a measurable return.

Change Management

Planning the human side of change before the technical side is built. Most projects fail here. Training, communication and adoption are not afterthoughts.

Technology Spend Optimisation

Mapping every subscription, licence and tool. Removing redundancy and stopping budget from leaking into software nobody is properly using.

AI and Automation Readiness

Building the operational and data foundations that make automation and AI worthwhile. Getting the sequencing right before the money goes in.

Pricing

Transparent. Not published.

Pricing depends on the size of the problem and the size of the business. What does not change is the structure: you know what you are paying before anything is committed.

Fit Call

Twenty minutes to understand whether there is a fit worth pursuing. No pitch, no obligation.
