Three ways we work

Each service is distinct, designed for a specific need — and can be combined as your situation evolves.

Bonsai Restore

IT Turnaround Management

When an IT programme has gone off track, we join the team — not above it. We diagnose what's really wrong, build a recovery plan powered by AI analysis, and guide the turnaround in a way that leaves people and organisations intact.

Bonsai Deliver

IT Program & Project Management

End-to-end leadership for complex IT programmes. We bring clarity to scope, cut through organisational noise, and keep delivery on track — picking the right practices for your context, with AI sharpening every step.

Trusted Consultant Sourcing

Access a curated network of verified IT consultants. We match the right expertise to your situation — so you get someone who can actually deliver, not just someone who fits a job description.

The Bonsai way

Four principles that run through everything we do — regardless of which service you engage.

Inside, not above

We work as part of your team, not as an external authority handing down decisions from a distance.

Make ourselves redundant

Our goal is to leave your team more capable than we found it — not to create long-term dependency.

AI-powered

We use AI throughout — to accelerate diagnosis, build sharper plans, and keep projects on track with less overhead.

Pragmatic, not academic

We pick the right tools for each situation. No methodology religion — just what actually works.

About Olli

I've worked on IT projects from both sides — as a vendor and as a customer. That dual perspective changes everything. I've seen what vendors say behind closed doors, and I've felt the frustration of a customer watching a project drift. I've witnessed successes and utter failures across tens of programmes.

My background spans energy, forestry, e-learning, FMCG, and a host of other industries. A significant part of that work has involved ERP programmes — particularly Microsoft Dynamics — where the gap between technical delivery and business adoption is often where projects fail. I'm often the person called in when things haven't gone as planned.

I don't apply any single methodology. PMI, PRINCE2, SAFe — I pick the best practices for each case and stay relentlessly focused on keeping things moving. And I actively use AI to work faster and more accurately than traditional consulting approaches allow.

"My goal is to make myself redundant. I know I've done my job when the client's own team has taken full control — and doesn't need me anymore."
