Technology Consultant of the Year
Simon Dale has revolutionised BJSS’ data capability with the creation of the DataEXP framework – a seamless data service that helps clients explore, experiment, and show the value of data in solving business problems and achieving strategic objectives. Recognising the potential to deliver faster client value, Simon developed the methodology, and today, he champions its use across the organisation, empowering teams to leverage its benefits.
Simon’s customer-centric approach makes him an exceptional consultant. His remarkable ability to guide clients towards optimal outcomes, coupled with his patience and diligence, ensures he consistently meets and exceeds expectations.
However, Simon’s real magic lies in his ability to understand technology from a conceptual level, right down to the architectural and physical code layers. This end-to-end capability sets him apart, allowing him to articulate complex ideas to senior stakeholders and guide others through the process. These skills are evident in his work on key projects for clients including Just Group PLC, National Highways and the Retail Trust.
Making sure he stays at the cutting edge, Simon is constantly experimenting with emerging technologies, such as data mesh, and applying them to his work with clients. His hands-on approach and rare ability to handle the entire tech stack, from concept to implementation, has driven huge value for BJSS and its clients.
