Independent technology consulting & leadership
Nuffield Consulting helps boards, chief executives and technology leaders line up technology with business strategy, so that spend, risk and effort go where they create value. The advice comes from someone who has run the function, not just reviewed it.
Also from Nuffield Consulting: The Daily Tech WireTechnology Leaders Forum
Services
Most technology problems are business problems first: unclear priorities, spend nobody can tie to an outcome, risk nobody owns. The work starts there.
A clear, shared view of what technology is for, what it costs and what it should deliver over the next few years.
Senior technology leadership when you need it: covering a gap, steadying a function or getting it ready for its next stage.
An independent view for boards and investors who need to understand what their technology is really doing for them.
A sounding board for CIOs and CTOs: someone who has faced the same decisions and has no product to sell.
Where we focus
These are the themes that come up most often with clients and in conversations with other technology leaders.
Separating useful work from expensive experiments, and putting ownership and measures around it.
Knowing what would stop the business, how quickly it would recover and who decides.
SaaS sprawl, contract uplifts and consumption pricing, and how to keep control of them.
Turning UK, EU and US rules on data, AI and resilience into a proportionate plan.
Technology that scales with the business, whether it is PE-backed, preparing to list or already public.
Making the link between technology decisions and the value of the business clear to the people who own it.

Insights
Two things we run alongside client work, both open to technology leaders whether or not they work with us.
The day’s most significant technology stories, a running log of major outages and data breaches since May 2025, and a weekly round-up of funding and start-ups worth watching.
A small, invitation-only forum where senior technology leaders discuss the challenges in front of them and how they are approaching them. Each session has a focus topic. Meetings run under the Chatham House Rule, with no selling.
Chaired by Andy Davies.
