The firm

Why Intelance exists

Intelance was founded in 2017 by Emmanuel Olatunji, an enterprise architect who spent years on major programmes inside large firms, including a Big Four practice. Anyone who has bought consulting will recognise what he kept seeing from the inside: the senior person who wins the work and then vanishes, the junior team that arrives in their place, the fee that grows quietly past the estimate, and the long deck that leaves the client no closer to a decision.

This firm was set up so none of that can happen here. It is small and senior on purpose. The person you speak to on the first call is the person who does the work. Prices are on the website, so you can decide whether we are worth a conversation before anyone asks for your details. And because Intelance is a licensed certification body as well as a consultancy, what we hand over has to stand up to an auditor as well as a steering group.

Clients rarely arrive asking for consulting. They arrive with a problem that has a date on it: a transformation about to be priced, a customer insisting on certification, AI in use that nobody approved, data that will not carry what the board has promised, or a deal that needs checking before signature. Every engagement is scoped and priced against that one problem, so you can start small and see how we work.

The rules

How we work

Six rules, the same on every engagement, from a Cyber Essentials certification to a group wide programme.

01

The person you meet does the work

No junior consultants learning on your budget and nothing offshored. The adviser who scopes the engagement is the one who delivers it.

02

The price is agreed before we start

Entry prices are on the site. The full fee is fixed and put in writing before work begins, and it does not move.

03

You get things you can use

Risk registers, control sets, roadmaps and board papers, each backed by evidence you could show an auditor or an investor.

04

We sell nothing but the answer

No vendor partnerships, no reseller margins, no commission on anything we recommend. We make money only from the advice, so the advice has to be right.

05

We tell you if you do not need us

If the first call shows the problem is not ours to solve, we say so and point you somewhere better suited.

06

We build it so you can run it

Retainers end when your team can run things without us rather than when the contract says so. Handover is planned from the first week.

The founder

Talk to the person who delivers the work

Chief Enterprise Architecture Partner

Intelance was founded by Emmanuel Olatunji, a TOGAF 9 and TOGAF 10 certified enterprise architect. He has led architecture, AI governance, cyber and deal engagements for organisations across the UK, Europe, the Middle East and Africa, in environments where being wrong is expensive.

Every Intelance engagement runs under his direction, with named specialists joining where the work needs them. There is no handover between the person who wins the work and the people who deliver it, because they are the same person.

The limits

Who we are not for

A serious firm should be clear about its limits. Intelance is not the right fit if what you want is on this list.

NOT USGeneric IT support
NOT USLow cost body shopping
NOT USA slide deck with no delivery accountability
NOT USCertification theatre without fixing the underlying controls

If that is what you need, we will say so on the first call and point you somewhere better suited. The first call is thirty minutes and free.

How engagements run

Every engagement is one of four kinds

Assess, build, operate or assure. You always know which one you are buying, what it costs and what comes next.

01

Assess

Fixed fee diagnostics: QuickScans, readiness assessments, audits and due diligence. A senior team, a fixed price and a decision ready answer in weeks.

02

Build

Management systems, governance functions and operating models built to run without us: ISO 27001, AI governance, data governance and enterprise architecture.

03

Operate

Retained capability: virtual departments and managed services run month by month by named senior people, designed to shrink as your own capability grows.

04

Assure

Independent verification for boards, investors, customers and insurers. If we built it, we do not assure it. Our independence is built into how the firm is structured.

Thirty minutes with a senior adviser

A clear recommendation and a fixed fee in writing, even if the answer is that you do not need us. A senior adviser replies within one UK business day.
