RunFast Launchpad

Start your transformation with confidence – not cost, chaos, or regret. Big transformation programmes fail for one simple reason: they start too fast, with the wrong foundations.

What is the RunFast Launchpad™?

RunFast Launchpad™ is Limelight’s proven programme start-up accelerator. It helps you get transformation-ready before you commit serious time, money, or reputational risk. We took the concepts of 'Phase 0' and enhanced it to provide even greater value. We make sure your programme is worth doing – and set up to succeed – before it starts.
