Case studies: governance, continuity, and digital change

Selected case studies of DEDICO's consulting work, including the GAA Event Safety Management Guide and Croke Park's stadium-wide business continuity plan.

A small selection of work. Most engagements are confidential by request, particularly governance reviews and continuity work for public bodies. The case studies below are ones where the client has agreed they can be discussed publicly, or are anonymised summaries that protect the client while showing the kind of work involved.

If you'd like a reference relevant to your sector or the kind of work you're considering, email sarah@dedico.ie and we'll put you in touch with a former client directly, with their permission.

Ongoing clients

Some engagements continue beyond a defined project. These are clients DEDICO works with on an ongoing basis.

Ongoing client

Future Financial Planning Ltd

StrategyDigital & AI for SMEs

Future Financial Planning Ltd, an SME led by founder and managing director Emma Farrelly, has worked with DEDICO on marketing and business development across both the thinking and the doing. The starting point was a marketing plan and a business development strategy. The work then extended into a website rebuild, the firm's wider communications and brand messaging, alignment of the digital tools the team uses day to day, and training staff on using AI and social media. The engagement has continued past the initial strategy into ongoing support, on the principle that for a growing SME these things benefit from a steady hand rather than a one-off project.

Selected anonymised work

The summary below describes a real engagement where the client asked to remain confidential.

Anonymised

Digital and AI advisory for a growing SME

A founder-led Irish SME asked DEDICO for a straight answer on where AI could realistically help them and where it couldn't. The work began with a one-day discovery across their team and customer-facing systems, followed by a written shortlist of three high-confidence improvements, two areas to monitor, and two areas to leave alone. The owner used the shortlist to brief their in-house team and to scope a follow-on procurement. Work delivered in four weeks.

What you don't see here

Most governance and continuity work for public bodies is done on a confidential basis and isn't published in any form. If you'd like to know whether DEDICO has done work close to what you're considering, the fastest answer is a short call.
