Broadcast and media

Clients in Broadcast and Media are at the forefront of business change. Oakleigh is delighted to have been selected to provide services to the BBC under two lots of a Framework for Consultancy Services, one for IT and one for Business Change.

Technology is a key driver: IT is increasingly underpinning end-to-end processes - commissioning, creative, production and output. Technology and processes to manage and manipulate multimedia assets are having a profound effect on the industry and the skills it employs. Content platforms are proliferating, driven by insatiable audience appetites. The need to manage and exploit rights in a digital world has become a critical success factor and will increasingly become a key differentiator.

Oakleigh has a deep understanding of managing change in complex environments. Our disciplined approach to project and programme management, using tried and tested techniques such as Prince2 and MSP, ensures that our clients deliver tangible business benefits. We are highly sensitive to the cultural implications of change; our consultants have experience of leading some of the largest change programmes, working in many different sectors. Our clients value their diverse perspectives. Where technology plays a part, we ensure that IT strategies have measurable links into business strategies. We deploy Agile techniques to deliver incremental benefits in fast-changing environments.

Our style is to work alongside our clients. We pride ourselves on developing sustained, long-term relationships of shared learning, not sustained dependency on an external expert. In an environment where best practice becomes challenged and superseded very quickly, the ability to learn collaboratively has never been more vital.
