Australian Technology Consultancy

Steady hands for ambitious technology.

Datashidō partners with founders, executives and engineering teams across Australia to bring rigour to IT project governance, deliver startup professional services with confidence, and turn data into product.

What we do

A practice built for the messy middle of technology delivery.

Most failures in technology aren't technical, they're human. Misaligned governance, fragile delivery process, data treated as an afterthought. Datashidō is engaged when these things matter.

Startup Delivery, Governance & Growth

A pragmatic professional services delivery process for early stage technology companies. Repeatable engagement, sensible governance, and a path from first client to scale that doesn't collapse under the weight of its own success.

Data Product Management

Treating data assets as products with users, roadmaps and outcomes. From dashboards to embedded analytics to AI-ready pipelines, Datashidō shapes the discipline around the data, not the other way around.

Advisory

Board and executive level advisory for technology investments and transformation.

Assurance

Independent project health checks, risk reviews and recovery support.

Consumer Apps

Published mobile products on the Apple App Store, designed and shipped in-house.

On the App Store

Software we make for ourselves.

Alongside our consulting practice, Datashidō builds and publishes consumer applications on the Apple App Store. Each one is an exercise in keeping our own product muscles sharp.

App One

A productivity utility crafted for iOS, focused on doing one thing well.

Datashidō was founded on a conviction that the hard parts of technology delivery, governance, process and data, deserve as much craft as the code itself.

We work as an independent partner to executive teams, founders, and programme sponsors who need someone in the room who has been there before. No-nonsense practitioners with a delivery mindset, sharp written communication, and a refusal to dress up bad news.

Outcomes before artefacts

Steering committees and slide decks are tools, not the work. We measure ourselves on what changed for the business.

Process built for the team you have

Frameworks adapted to people, organisational maturity and budget, not photocopied from a textbook.

Data treated as a product

Owners, users, roadmaps, quality. The same discipline we'd apply to any consumer-facing application.

Built and tested in-house

Our App Store products are how we keep our own delivery instincts honest.

The founders

Two operators, one practice.

Datashidō was founded by Hayley Griffin and Oscar van Dijk, partnering to bring senior delivery, governance and data product experience to Australian technology teams.
