Independent Transformation Assurance & Executive Governance
We protect the outcomes of enterprise transformations that can't afford to fail.
Aurelian is the independent executive partner for sponsors and boards carrying eight and nine figure transformation programs, because unlike the systems integrator building the program, or the internal team running it, we have no stake in the story being good. Only in it being true.
“The SI cannot grade its own delivery. The internal team cannot grade its own work. We are the only party in the room built to be objective.”Firm Positioning: Independent Transformation Assurance
"Each engagement feeds the next, from a focused diagnostic to embedded governance leadership."
Service Portfolio
Independent Assurance from Diagnosis through Recovery and Governance
4 offers: a focused diagnostic, embedded governance leadership, full PMO standup, and AI transformation assurance.
The Framework
Nine domains assessed as a health check
Evaluated the same way in every Transformation Health Check, with evidence gathered and scored consistently each time.
Industries
Specialized transformation assurance by industry
Focused governance, regulatory, and stakeholder expertise for the sectors where transformation stakes are highest.
Lead Vertical
Healthcare
Enterprise Transformation is the only major investment with no independent check on whether it's working. Healthcare systems invest heavily in ERP transformations but often struggle to measure ROI and operational impact. Transformation assurance directly solves that pain.
Second Vertical
Higher Education
Higher-Ed Institutions are undertaking massive ERP and system transformations (often Workday implementations for HR, finance, analytics), but many struggle to demonstrate ROI or operational impact on the academic and financial mission. Our framework solves this challenge.
Third Vertical
Food & Beverage
Food and beverage companies run some of the most operationally complex transformations in the mid market: multi location POS and inventory rollouts, ERP consolidations after roll up acquisitions, supply chain systems tied directly to perishable inventory, and they run them with less internal transformation muscle than almost any other industry Aurelian could serve. That combination is exactly where independent assurance earns its keep.

Why Most Transformation Programs Fail Quietly
Cost and schedule overruns get noticed. The programs that fail without anyone noticing are the ones with no independent way to measure whether they are actually working.
