WE’VE BEEN

IN YOUR SEAT.

Falconbridge was built by people who spent years inside the organizations you're trying to help. We know what the data looks like when it's not ready. We know how leadership asks the question. We know what gets cut when the budget is tight and the model is wrong. That's not a sales pitch, it's where this firm came from.

WE’VE BEEN ON YOUR TEAM. WE’VE ALSO BEEN YOUR CONSULTANT.

As a practitioner-led firm, we've worked within Fortune 100 organizations and advised organizations of varying sizes across a wide range of industries. We've held every role: from the analyst pulling the data to the advisor in the room with the CIO. That range lets us meet you wherever you are in the problem.

Gboyega Adebayo, Founder and Anchor Practitioner, Founder & Managing Director. Built Fannie Mae's enterprise IT cost transparency practice from the ground up and earned the TBM Council's IT Services Transformation Award in 2015. Spent five years as Director at KPMG advising Fortune 500 clients across healthcare, financial services, retail, and logistics, identifying $100M+ in cost optimization, while serving on the TBM Council Standards Committee as a Voting Member, helping write the taxonomy and standards most TBM programs now follow. The practitioner who has helped define the discipline, and been called in when it isn't working. "The tool is the easy part. The organization is the work."
Michael Alves, Senior Advisor, Principal Advisor. Implemented one of the first custom Apptio cost transparency models in production, before the ATUM framework existed. Nine years at KPMG building the firm's TBM Center of Excellence, then an inside seat at Walmart Global Tech architecting a bespoke IT cost platform from scratch. When the implementation is complete and the model still isn't answering leadership's questions, Mike is the call. "TBM is ultimately a change management problem."

THREE THINGS WE WON’T DO.

These are the standards we hold ourselves to on every engagement. Not aspirations. The way we work.

Standard 01, Operational, not theoretical: We won't leave you with work that sits on a shelf. Every deliverable has to be operational. The engagement doesn't end when the model is built. It ends when it's running in your environment, your team can use it, and the questions it needs to answer are actually getting answered. No discovery slides. The first artifact is a working draft, not an agenda. Standard 02, Built for the questions: We don't just get the tool live. Getting a tool live is a milestone. Getting value from it is the goal. Most programs stall not because the technology failed but because the model was built for implementation, not for the questions your stakeholders are actually asking. We build for the questions. The model has to defend itself in a board meeting. That's the bar. Standard 03, Capability stays: We won't leave you stranded. Most programs need support once the engagement ends. Personnel change, questions surface, the data evolves. We'll work with you to find the support model that fits: training your team, coaching whoever takes the work forward, or staying involved in an advisory capacity while the program matures. The goal is always for your organization to own the work. Success is measured by what stays after the invoice clears.

HOW CAN WE HELP?

If what you've read resonates, start with the assessment.

Fifteen questions. You'll walk away with an executive-ready summary you can share with your leadership team.

When we connect, your results are already in front of us. The 30 minutes gets specific: your situation, your numbers, and how to take what you find to the people who need to hear it. We can help you think through that conversation too.
