Our Work
A look at the types of challenges we tackle and how we approach them — from cybersecurity assessments to AI strategy and executive coaching.
A 120-person professional services firm had grown rapidly through acquisition and was running multiple legacy IT environments with no unified security governance. They faced an upcoming client audit that required demonstrable security controls.
Boyd & Co conducted a structured risk assessment across all three environments, identified the highest-priority exposures, and developed a governance framework the leadership team could own — without requiring a full IT overhaul.
Client passed their security audit, reduced their top-tier risk exposure by 60%, and had a clear 12-month roadmap they could communicate to their board.
The CEO of a logistics company was feeling pressure from their board to "have an AI strategy." Their team had explored several AI tools but had no coherent plan, inconsistent data practices, and real concerns about vendor data handling.
We assessed their data environment, helped them prioritize two high-value AI applications (route optimization and customer ETA prediction), and built a governance framework to address data privacy concerns before any vendor commitments.
A board-ready AI strategy, clear data governance policies, and a phased implementation roadmap — all delivered in six weeks without expensive consultants or vendor lock-in.
A CEO of a growing retail chain had inherited a fragmented IT environment and a technology team whose recommendations she couldn't independently evaluate. A major ERP decision was approaching and she needed to lead the process — not just sign off on it.
Over four months of structured coaching sessions, Derek worked with her on technology fundamentals relevant to her business, vendor evaluation frameworks, and how to structure the internal decision-making process so she was in the driver's seat.
The CEO led the ERP selection process with confidence, selected a vendor that was 40% less than the original recommendation, and built lasting internal capability to evaluate future technology decisions.
A hospitality operator with eight locations was running different POS systems, disconnected loyalty platforms, and inconsistent Wi-Fi infrastructure across their properties. A planned expansion to three new locations had surfaced the need for a coherent technology strategy.
Boyd & Co assessed the current environment, identified consolidation opportunities, and built a phased technology roadmap aligned to their expansion timeline — prioritizing what needed to be fixed before growth and what could wait.
A clear, prioritized technology roadmap that the operations team could execute without external consultants, and a unified infrastructure plan that scaled cleanly across the three new locations.
Following an acquisition, a distribution company suddenly had two IT teams with overlapping roles, significant capability gaps in cybersecurity, and a key technical leader signalling they were likely to leave.
We conducted a technology workforce analysis that mapped current capabilities against business needs, identified succession risks, and recommended a restructured team model — including which roles to consolidate, which to backfill, and where to bring in managed services.
A restructured IT function that reduced headcount cost by 22% while closing the critical security capability gap — and a succession plan that kept the key technical leader engaged.
