You are not alone if you have some of these reservations.
I’m too busy
You are very busy, and don’t have any extra time. Your hours are consumed with revenue generating activities, helping clients and meeting your other commitments in life.
I’m not sure about the ROI

It seems complex
Reading the CDAP program information and talking to some digital advisors might have you wondering if this project is overly complex for your business.
I’m nervous about having someone poke around in my business

Your Digital Adoption Guide
Throughout my 25-year career, I’ve helped some of the largest companies in Canada to grow with digital. Before starting Second Spring, I was a Deloitte Consulting partner for five years specializing in digital transformation.
I’m a business owner too, so I know what it’s like. In 2002, I started a company called SwiftRadius. We grew this business to a team of 50, and it was acquired in January 2015. I’ve built our CDAP process based on my experience both as a digital consultant and a business owner.
I know that time is in short supply for you. You need to be able to get a quote quickly, and learn what is involved without wasting time.
Once you decide to proceed, you need a streamlined process with great tools, templates and approaches.
And, most importantly, you need a valuable plan that is aligned to your business strategy, relevant to your industry, easy to understand and ready to implement.
The Second Spring team is ready to guide you to the start line and through the process. We are here to help businesses owners like you to make an even bigger impact.
