The Road to CONVRG
From Frustrated Rollouts to Systems That Actually Work
Most growing businesses don’t fail because of their tools.
They fail because their systems, teams, and strategy aren’t aligned.
We learned that the hard way - inside our own projects, and alongside the clients we were trying to help.

The Moment It Clicked
This Isn’t Just a Software Problem - It’s a Systems Problem
We kept seeing the same signs:
- Sales weren’t logging activity
- Marketing was running on its own island
- Leaders weren’t seeing real progress
- Tools were blamed, but never fully used
That’s when we realised:
The problem isn’t the platform.
It’s the lack of alignment behind it.
So we stepped back and asked:
What if the real fix wasn’t a better tool - but a better foundation?
That misalignment between vision, systems, and execution?
That’s what we now call the Growth Gap.
What if this was a business systems problem?
The Lightbulb: Strategy First, Then Tools
The old approach focused on training users and switching features on.
But complex businesses need more than feature rollouts.
They need a shared strategy that connects goals to execution.
That’s what we built.

That’s How CONVRG Was Born
Not Just a Rebrand - A Rethink
We stopped being a tech rollout agency.
We became a growth partner that helps teams build real operating systems.
We do that following our SIMPLIFI Framework - a practical way to align people, processes, and platforms so they actually work together.
From MCS to mOS
Your Management Operating System
At first, we called it MCS - Management Control System.
But what we really meant was this:
Your tech stack shouldn’t sit on the sidelines.
It should be your mOS - a Management Operating System — the space where strategy meets execution.
That’s what we help you build.

Why It Works
Because Businesses Scale When Systems Align
Most growth problems aren’t about missing software.
They’re about teams pulling in different directions, goals being misaligned, and systems not supporting the way people actually work.
We help fix that:
- Define your vision, roles, and goals
- Align processes across teams
- Map that into a clear operating system
- And help people use it with confidence
No more chaos. No more guesswork.
Just clarity, momentum, and joined-up growth.
Why This Matters
Because the Real Risk Is Stalling While You Scale
You didn’t build your business to stall.
But that’s what happens when adoption fails and alignment breaks.
We help you get back on track - by building the systems you need to scale with intention.

Who are we..?
We’re Tony, Mark, and Rich - founders who’ve lived through the pain of disconnected systems and disjointed execution.
We started out helping B2B teams roll out platforms.
But we kept seeing adoption stall, momentum fade, and leadership lose faith.
So we built something better.
Today, CONVRG helps scaling businesses design operating systems that work — by connecting leadership vision, team process, and platform setup from day one.
We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all onboarding.
We believe in convergence - of people, process, and platform.

Tony - Strategist-in-Chief. Big picture thinker. Calm in chaos.

Mark - Growth Operator. Connector of dots. Story Teller

Rich - The Realiser. Operational glue. Quietly brilliant.
