Beetroot Consulting acted as an exceptional business partner, they never felt ‘new’ and seamlessly fit into the team, needing minimal steer or support getting up to speed. They worked very closely with business users to develop a deep understanding of the business, the need, and the solution. All stakeholders were kept up to date regularly, managed issues with delays, third parties, data, and scope, calmly and effectively, and always with a positive, and solutions focussed approach. After several months of integration activity with acquired businesses. We had 2 different divisions to consolidate; operating and finance systems, close and consolidate offices, implement new structures and processes, but faced significant business problems due to a lack of interfaces between systems. Our ambition was to build some interfaces that would improve visibility and speed and remove excessive manual intervention. In order to be consistent, we wanted to brought in a consultant who could manage across the divisions and really support the business users to design interfaces to work for them. We wanted to solving as many problems as possible. Beetroot Consulting came highly recommended by a colleague who had worked closely with them elsewhere.

The Newgate team have had the pleasure of working with Beetroot Consulting on a project to deliver strategic change, process redesign and technology implementation for newly acquired businesses. A key success factor of these types of projects is keeping people, process and technical implementations aligned - and in Beetroot Consulting we had a trusted partner who led the technical aspects whilst also being a key advocate in creating new ways of working that delivered results for the client. Personally, I really enjoyed working with Beetroot Consulting - I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending them for other projects and would relish the opportunity to team up with them again!
Kanika is one of the most talented Data and Technology leaders I have ever had the privilege of working with. She is passionate about people and the quality of her work. She manages multiple priorities concurrently and maintains a sense of humour and perspective even in the face of the most trying circumstances.
Kanika is a trusted and capable leader with huge drive. She has ‘big picture thinking’ and is great at seeing the overall scope of a project from an organisational and technical perspective. She has superb insight to the business driver. Her most impressive skills are her relationship building and collaborative nature. She bridged the entire programme together and created a strong and cohesive team.
I was looking for an inspirational technology speaker to talk about the importance of leading and inspiring change -and Kanika seemed to be a great fit. Kanika was a great to work with and offered insights and suggestions on content in order to make the panel the best it could be. She collaborated well with the other speakers, and always made herself available for preparation. She spoke on our opening keynote panel at The Inspired Summit. The subject matter, The Fundamentals of True Transformation. A great, energetic speaker, who delivered passion and tenacity. Kanika was personable to my entire team, worked well with all other attendees -she is someone would love to work with again in the near future. One word to describe her… Inspirational.
Kanika has many public speaking engagements booked for 2023.
