Why Integral to help shape your strategy?
Integral has been advising organisations on strategy and transformation since 2001, working across government, not-for-profit, education and commercial sectors nationwide. We're ISO 27001 and ISO 9001 certified ourselves, so the governance frameworks we help you build hold up to the standard we apply to our own business.Because we work across strategy, technology and delivery, the roadmap we hand you is one we can also help execute, built to be used, not just approved shelf-ware.
We've helped organisations set direction under pressure before, from redesigning operating models ahead of major structural change, to building the business caase for multi-year digital transformation programs across government, education, not for profit and commercial sectors. The common thread is a roadmap that survives contact with a board, not just a workshop.
FAQ's

Yes. Operating model and role redesign for the AI era is part of this practice — we look at how roles, teams and decision rights need to change, not just which tools you adopt.
Use us as much or as little as you need. If you'd rather lead the strategy yourself, we can take on specific pieces such as stakeholder engagement, audits, insights and research, data analysis, or workshop facilitation, and hand the rest back to your team. Some clients want the whole thing run for them; others just need a specialist pair of hands for the parts that are hardest to resource internally. We’ve seen both approaches work.
It depends on scope. Most engagements run from a few weeks for a focused review to a few months for a full strategy and operating model redesign.
Yes. Resilience and risk advisory sits alongside strategy because governance decisions and strategic decisions should be made together, not bolted on afterwards. We're ISO 27001 certified ourselves, so we bring first-hand experience of what a workable framework looks like.
No. We work with organisations of all sizes, from small not-for-profits to large government agencies and national commercial businesses. What matters is the size of the decision you're making, not the size of your organisation.
We'll set up a short, no-obligation call to understand what you're trying to achieve. From there, we'll recommend the right starting point, whether that be a full strategy engagement, or help with a specific piece of IT.
