Team Culture & Process: Agile First
We strongly believe that a high-performance team and the right organizational culture and process are prerequisites to engaging in the path of effective disruption and digital transformation. We partner with your leadership teams in raising the bar in how innovative, customer-centric, committed, nimble, engaged, and connected to your strategy your organization is and feels.
We also believe that speedy, iterative delivery of customer-facing software helps separate digital leaders from digital laggards. Speed is crucial in introducing new disruptive products, engaging and responding to customers across different channels, and adapting existing services based on shifting competitive drivers.
We can help you:​
-
Not just doing agile, even at scale, but being truly agile enterprise-wide, starting with the business side.
-
Assess your technology organization and provide short and long-term recommendations (structure, right-size, culture, process, output, skills, talent, investments, value/ROI).
-
Recommend a roadmap, implement best practices, and provide training for world-class Agile, Lean, Scaled Agile Framework, DevOps/DevSecOps/DataOps, and CICD (Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment).

Our Inspiration for Disruption
Our team of consultants continuously and obsessively analyzes the latest trends and practices behind the kind of unfair advantage some exceptional and innovative companies have, whether they are small Silicon Valley based startups, Unicorn-type companies, or Fortune 100 companies that have shown to be sustainable digital transformation leaders.
​
These companies often benefit from similar attributes including: speed, nimbleness, and agility from innovation to execution and scaling, exceptional data and insights about their customers, leveraging some of the latest technology and architectures, building strong and defensible barriers to entry for their competitors, and often a first-mover or market lock in advantage.
​
These disruptive digital/mobile/cloud first companies can both move and adapt when they have the right destination in mind and align the right team on that objective, because they are building on the right foundation of talent, culture, process, and technology.
