Same deliverables.
A fraction of the cost.
IT strategy consulting is expensive, slow, and non-reproducible. Every recommendation is locked in a PDF and a consultant's head. Kogira changes the model — board-ready strategy generated from your own evidence, continuously, at a fixed monthly cost.
Strategy shouldn't leave when the consultant does.
Consulting produces point-in-time advice that expires. Kogira produces a living strategy platform that improves as your evidence grows.
Months vs days.
A traditional consulting engagement takes weeks to scope, months to deliver, and requires a return engagement the moment your situation changes. Kogira produces your first strategy outputs in days — and updates them as your documents evolve.
Strategy that stays with you.
When a consultant departs, their reasoning goes with them. Kogira keeps every recommendation linked to the source paragraph it was drawn from. Your board can trace any strategic conclusion back to the evidence that produced it.
Evidence-linked, not assumption-based.
Consultants synthesise interviews, assumptions, and industry patterns. Kogira synthesises your audits, assessments, policies, and past strategies — the actual evidence your organisation has already produced.
No handover risk.
Consulting engagements end. Key people leave. Tribal knowledge disappears. Because Kogira generates strategy from your documents, the capability is institutional — not personal. New CIOs can pick up where the last one left off.
