What Inca Consulting does

Inca Consulting is an independent, founder-led management consultancy headquartered in London, United Kingdom, established in 2009 by Roderick Cain. The firm provides portfolio and programme management, agile coaching, OKR (Objectives and Key Results) implementation, value stream mapping, executive mentoring, and continuous improvement services to blue-chip enterprise clients. The service offering is organised into two categories — Advisor and Consultancy (portfolio/programme management, OKRs, delivery leadership, value stream mapping, executive mentoring, proposal writing) and Agility (customer-centric product management, agile coaching, continuous improvement). The company has disclosed engagement experience with named enterprises including Societe Generale, Amplience, Arcadia Group, O2 Telefonica, Tesco Bank, HomeServe, TAP London, Quintessentially, BT Global Services, and Celerity, with two industry awards received in 2012.

The business operates as a professional services firm with a small team of 1-10 employees and no proprietary technology platform. Revenue is generated through project-based and retained consulting engagements, with no public pricing disclosed; pricing is likely quote-based and negotiated per engagement. The go-to-market motion is relationship-led, driven primarily by founder Roderick Cain's personal network and prior blue-chip delivery track record, supplemented by a partnership with Equal Experts (a software delivery consultancy) through which Inca has provided specialist Business Analysis and Scrum Master resources on joint programmes at O2 Telefonica and Tesco Bank. The firm has no external funding, no parent company, and is structured as a founder-controlled entity serving UK and European enterprise clients across financial services, telecommunications, retail, technology, and home services sectors.

Inca Consulting is an independent management consultancy founded in 2009 by Roderick Cain that delivers portfolio and programme management, Agile coaching, OKR (Objectives and Key Results) implementation, value stream mapping, and executive mentoring services. The firm is based in London, UK, and serves blue-chip enterprise clients undergoing business and digital transformation.

Product overview

Inca Consulting is an independent consultancy firm that offers a unified portfolio of advisory, consultancy, and agility services. The service offerings are organized into two primary categories: Advisor and Consultancy (including Portfolio and Programme Management, OKRs Implementation, Delivery Lead Services, Value Stream Mapping, Executive Mentoring, and Proposal Writing) and Agility (including Customer-Centric Product Management, Agile Coaching, and Continuous Improvement). These consulting services work together to help clients move their businesses forward, from creation of initial business cases and requirements gathering, through solution design, test-based development, rollout, and subsequent support. The company focuses on closing the gap between business strategy and software delivery, implementing improved ways of working, and creating Target Operating Models that companies can effectively implement.
