Local capture
The fuller capture history stays in an encrypted database on the consultant's computer. It is not automatically copied to the organisation repository.
Built by consultants
We built Overshow at San Digital because client requests, decisions and their reasons kept getting lost between calls, messages and handovers. We use it on our own engagements every day.
What kept going missing
On our own engagements, requests and decisions were scattered across calls, messages and documents. Writing the weekly update meant finding those sources again. A handover meant explaining the decisions behind the delivered work, often after the people involved had moved on.
Overshow captures the sources a consultant allows on their computer and sorts them by engagement. It drafts the day's decisions and requests. Client reports, scope discussions and handovers start from what was said and agreed, not from memory.
We use Overshow on our own engagements. Read about the set-up and pricing to see what starting with one engagement involves.
The principles
Consultant control
The consultant corrects the draft, leaves out anything private and decides what the team sees.
Source excerpts
Dates and source excerpts let colleagues check the context of an entry when discussing scope or taking over an engagement.
Engagement continuity
The consultancy keeps what its consultants shared when they move on, under its agreed retention and deletion arrangements.
