HGF
3Kites assisted HGF with a CRM implementation that had stalled due to concerns within some practice groups. Working closely with members of the business services team, the consultants quickly built an understanding of the situation by engaging with the firm’s attorneys to find a way forward that teams were more comfortable with. This approach demonstrated a level of commercial awareness from 3Kites that balanced the need to realise a return on investment with a flexible roadmap that doesn’t paint the IT department into a technical corner.
