Ben Terrett
CEO and Founder
Higher education
We help higher education providers and systems rethink how they deliver value and impact amid rapid change.
Technology and globalisation are disrupting many of the old assumptions about high quality education: who buys it, who supplies it, and how it is delivered.
While customer expectations are changing, many teaching, research and publication cycles reflect an earlier age.
We work with universities and other academic institutions to build their digital capability, and become more fast-moving and responsive without sacrificing academic quality.
What we do
- 1
We review university and other education organisations’ digital and technology maturity.
- 2
We redefine institutions’ digital and service strategy to respond to rapid changes in technology and student expectations.
- 3
We redesign university operating models so they can respond faster to user needs, embedding multidisciplinary teams and internet-era skills in their ways of working.
- 4
We review and reduce the risk associated with big investment and IT programmes, helping universities become better customers of technology vendors.

Our experience
We bring senior leadership experience at both Chief Digital Officer and governance levels at leading universities.
We have led major transformations and provided programme assurance for higher education institutions and research funding councils.
Our recent work includes leading wholesale service transformation at The Open University, the UK’s largest university and the only one dedicated to exclusively remote learning.
We have also led reviews of universities’ technology estates and reform to programme governance. Since 2018, we have been supporting UK Research and Innovation on its transition to single consolidated funding model for academic research in the UK.
