Helping clients create business agility while still focussing on their core capabilities
Helping clients create business agility while still focussing on their core capabilities
We provide small teams of Agile specialists (Product Owners and Scrum Masters), so that our clients can focus their recruitment and staff advancement efforts on their core technical competencies - allowing companies to navigate the 'Agile Path' without causing impediments to its own staff development.
Positive and Proactive
A core principle of agile is that of “inspect and adapt”, and it’s fundamental to our working practices that we will constantly look for ways to improve the teams we work in.
Qualified, Certified, Experienced
All our people have the required training and experience to hit the ground running and be effective in multiple roles (PO/SM).
People over Process
We aim to encourage agile behaviours by helping the people around us to grow as individuals.
Transparent and Honest
We believe in learning from both success and failure through open and honest collaboration with customers.
Only trusted partners
We endeavour to only place consultants we have first hand experience of working with and would not hesitate to work with again.
We care about the clients mission
We're an ethical company and it’s important to us that our core values are clear and in line with those of our clients. we aim to work with likeminded organisations with missions that 'do no harm' - We believe in building teams around motivated individuals, and that clients' mission aims are some of the best motivational tools out there.
Most agile consultancy companies focus on the macro environment - large scale, organisation change programs and implementations of heavyweight scaling frameworks (not surprisingly, huge enterprise change is where the money is!).
We've seen first-hand though that most agile transformations fail because the bottom-up change fails - the understanding of Agile principles and the Scrum framework either isn't there when teams need it most (at inception), or the folks being asked to do the core roles of Product Owner and Scrum Master are asked to do it part time, in addition to their regular day jobs. Not only is that bad for staff moral (those people would generally rather be doing what they love and trained for), but it also means the PO and SM jobs are done ineffectively in limited hours.
Our solution to that is simply to provide small teams of really good Agile professionals to guide the process, so that the clients staff can get on with what they're really good at and have training/recruitment focus on developing core capabilities instead of diverging into generic Agile 'soft skills'.
We also work with SMEs by providing individual Agile Specialists, but those consultants are supported by us in a way that gives our clients a ready-made Agile community of practice which they would otherwise not be able to create themselves.
