Harmonising Success through Governance and IT Expertise

At Symphonise Consulting, we believe that the success of an organisation is like the magic of a symphony orchestra. Each department, team, and individual within a company plays their part—just like an orchestra’s strings, woodwinds, brass, and percussion sections. However, true harmony is only achieved when all these parts come together, in tune and on time, guided by a shared vision. This is where governance acts as the conductor, ensuring that every part of the organisation contributes to a unified, impactful performance.

Our name, Symphonise Consulting, embodies this philosophy. Founded by Etienne Shardlow, who has dedicated much of his career to consulting and advising organisations on better governance of IT, the company is built on the principle that governance brings IT and other departments together under a shared vision, just as a conductor brings together the various sections of an orchestra to create a symphony.
