The Opportunity
A leading insurance organisation was undertaking multiple, complex transformation programmes at the same time. These included modernising legacy systems, improving pricing and claims processes, and introducing more automation across the business.
The challenge was delivering change at pace, without increasing permanent headcount or disrupting day-to-day operations. The organisation needed experienced teams who could be deployed quickly, work alongside internal staff, and deliver results across technology, data and business change.
Our Approach
RedRock supported the organisation through our Burst Capacity Service, providing rapid access to high-quality, multi-disciplinary delivery teams. Teams were mobilised within days and embedded directly into critical programmes, operating as an extension of the client’s own teams.
Each team was overseen by a dedicated RedRock Delivery Manager, ensuring clear ownership, strong governance and consistent delivery standards from day one. The model allowed teams to scale up or down as priorities changed, while maintaining cost control and delivery momentum.
Burst Capacity Service – Key Features
- Rapid mobilisation of experienced delivery teams, typically within 10 days
- Flexible scaling as programme needs evolved
- Fully managed delivery under ISO-accredited frameworks and security clearance standards
- Predictable costs through fixed rate cards and transparent commercials
- Strong focus on documentation, knowledge transfer and handover
- Access to a large pool of proven associates mapped to the SFIA capability framework
This approach enabled the client to move quickly, without the delays or risks associated with traditional recruitment or long supplier onboarding cycles.
