Third Space
Scaling Digital Ambitions with Strategic Technology Leadership
Delivering strategic technology oversight, interim CIO leadership, and programme governance to align and scale Third Space's digital initiatives across a growing luxury health club network.
Third Space runs London’s premier luxury health clubs, offering a “training for life” experience to hundreds of thousands of members across a growing network. To support its expansion, the brand needed a unified technology strategy and robust programme governance to align multiple digital and operational initiatives.
The Challenge
With multiple streams of digital development, ranging from member services to facilities, HR, CRM, and IT security, Third Space sought clarity on their technical roadmap and integration needs. They also needed the right governance model to manage cross-functional delivery, and a sustainable way to scale while ensuring alignment across projects.
How We Helped
