Our Approach

A pragmatic Build → Execute → Run methodology that balances governance, compliance, user adoption, and strategic value

Delivering from Concept through Build → Execute → Run

At Recusant, we deliver information management and digital transformation projects end to end-strategic roadmaps, new platforms, AI tools, and systems integration-using a toolkit of practices, standards, and principles tailored to each engagement. With all the skills in-house, we partner with our clients across the Build, Execute and Run phases, ensuring solutions that are practical, sustainable, and aligned with your operational context.

Our Guiding Principles

Core principles that ensure our solutions are practical, sustainable, and fit-for-purpose

Partnership through Co-Design

We work as an extension of your team, not as external consultants. All frameworks and solutions are developed through collaborative workshops to ensure they are practical, owned by the business, and aligned with your operational context.

Business-Led, Human-Centred Design

We design solutions for people. Every technical decision is made with the end-user experience in mind to promote intuitive adoption, minimise friction, and ensure productivity. Technology serves as the enabler for business-defined governance.

Pragmatism over Dogma

We apply industry best practices pragmatically. Our goal is to create a lightweight, effective framework that addresses your specific risks and operational needs. "The right governance" is our mantra.

Configuration over Customisation

We leverage the full native power of technology platforms like Microsoft 365 and Purview, prioritising out-of-the-box configuration to ensure a sustainable, supportable, and evergreen solution.

Security by Design

Security and compliance are not afterthoughts; they are foundational to our architectural approach. We design governance frameworks from the ground up to protect your information assets.
