Answers about Delta Tango Advisory
Everything leaders want to know about our strategy design work, disciplined programme delivery, AML/CTF Tranche 2 capability builds, and how we embed with internal teams to produce measurable results across defence, government, financial services, telco, and critical infrastructure.
What does Delta Tango actually do?+
Delta Tango Advisory helps large, complex organisations design strategy, deliver critical programmes, and build resilient operations. The team blends military-grade discipline with human-centred design to lift performance, reduce overheads, and de-risk major change.
What problems do you solve for organisations like ours?+
Most clients come with one or more of these problems:
- Strategy is unclear or not executed
- Critical programmes run late or over budget
- Teams are busy but not effective
- Regulatory risk is rising faster than capability
- Good people are burning out or leaving
Delta Tango fixes the underlying design, decision cycles, and delivery systems so leaders can move faster with less noise.
How are you different from a big consulting firm?+
Delta Tango was built by operators, not career consultants. The team is small, senior, and hands-on. No layers of juniors. No generic slide packs. Work focuses on practical decisions, operating models, and delivery plans that leaders can use the same day.
What results have you delivered?+
Across defence, government, financial services, and telco, Delta Tango has delivered:
- 20–40% reduction in operational overhead
- 22% average cost savings on major programmes
- 98% client satisfaction
- 40% faster decision cycles
- 60% lift in employee engagement in leadership and design work
These numbers come from real projects, not marketing models.
Who do you typically work with?+
Delta Tango works with large, complex organisations facing regulatory, environmental, or societal change. Common clients include:
- Defence and space organisations
- Federal departments and agencies
- Banks and financial services
- Telecommunications and critical infrastructure
- Professional services firms preparing for AML/CTF Tranche 2
How do you approach AML/CTF Tranche 2 for real estate, legal, and accounting firms?+
Delta Tango uses a four-phase approach over 9–18 months:
- Strategic assessment and design
- Foundation build, including policies, processes, and technology selection
- Deployment and integration
- Optimisation and maturity
The focus is on practical risk control, efficient operations, and straightforward evidence for AUSTRAC, not box-ticking.
What is your method for complex programme delivery?+
Delta Tango uses a disciplined delivery framework (DTPS) shaped by defence and major government programmes. It sets clear outcomes, decision rights, and battle rhythms. It aligns governance, risk, and delivery teams so programmes ship on time, on budget, and within security constraints.
Can you work inside secure or classified environments?+
Yes. Delta Tango holds DISP membership and relevant security clearances, including NV1. The team has delivered work for Defence, ACSC, and major government programmes, with 100% compliance against security requirements.
How do you collaborate with our internal teams?+
Delta Tango embeds with internal leaders and teams. The approach is collaborative and direct. Workshops, design sprints, and delivery forums are used to co-design solutions, then hand over clear playbooks, artefacts, and training so the organisation owns the change.
If we start a project with Delta Tango, what should we expect in the first 90 days?+
The first 90 days focus on clarity and control:
- Diagnose the real problem and constraints
- Map current state and critical risks
- Agree outcomes, measures, and decision rights
- Stand up a lean governance and delivery rhythm
- Deliver early wins that prove value and build trust
By the end of this period, leaders see a clear line from strategy to delivery, and teams know who decides what, when, and how.
