• Hold the customer view and the technical view together across the whole of it
• Hand over to the internal team, working with the transformation ownership already in place

• Designs from the start for the customer who cannot or will not go online
• Has worked to a regulator and knows what that does to the standard
• Works comfortably inside an exec team and says what is going wrong

What's on offer
