Many issues can knock alignment and prevent the scaling of value that you need. The good news is, it is possible to rebuild alignment and build the culture and processes to maintain it.

collaboration

areas we can help

We collaborate through a range of activities, including coaching, workshops, product and technology evaluations, building processes & frameworks, and architectural change.

clarifying the now

You start where you are today, and the first step in change is embracing that.

There are various ways that we can help you to access where you are today. These approaches include:

Value Stream Mapping: flow of user actions (internal users, suppliers, business customers, retail customers, etc) through your business, product, and tech stack.
Product / Technology Due Diligence: evaluating performance and risks against current and future business needs. This includes the processes and people involved, as well as the technology.
Team Alignment: assessing the culture, skills gaps, capabilities, capacity, risks, and roadmap of different teams.

identifying the direction

You can't get there if you don't know where you are going.

Alignment: the framework for how the product will evolve and technology will develop needs to be transparent and aligned with the business strategy.
Shared Vision & Core Values: if you are not living them, consistently and clearly communicating them, and making decisions in alignment with them, then your vision and values will stand in the way of progress.
Competitive landscape: evaluating the impact of both the evolving business domain landscape and the changing technology capabilities.

navigating the journey

No one said that getting there would be easy!

Roadmaps: prioritized and scoped key product changes and technology activities that are required for meeting the business goals.
Development Framework: implementation of frameworks / processes for aligning, scoping, prioritizing, and tracking development activities.
Risk Transparency: identifying, prioritizing, and communicating risks across the business.
Skills Mapping: identify gaps and opportunities for training and hiring.
Team Topologies: organize and align team structures and their communication patterns.
