Accelerating the Creation of Adaptive Organizations
Accelerating the Creation of Adaptive Organizations
There’s a point where things come together - the entire organization is pursuing the same outcomes, and the ENERGY of effort is maximized. This is a powerful state of operating as a modern business – when the missions of business and IT are merged.
In pursuit of this adaptive environment there are risks: fixating on the wrong problems, overlooking issues “hidden in plain sight”, following the wrong metrics, and more. Many companies get close – but still fail to reach their full potential.
We help organizations become adaptive because we apply the missing business lens to the technology solutions. Our global team is comfortable in the world of technology, yet has the business acumen to help our clients build the bridges between IT and business.
Visibility: Insights and Impact
We are able to quantify the previously unquantifiable - the "hidden in plain sight" traits in your organization that can create unexpected collateral damage and derail your transformation, implementation, acquisition or product adoption.
By using your own input to a few carefully selected questions, our neural network, Transformation Navigator, will leverage distributed pattern recognition to provide scores that diagnose possible challenges and then together we will work with you to avoid them.
Trust: Joint Mission of Business and IT
When you align around impact and value, particularly with Objectives and Key Results (OKRs), you help make sure that you and your teams are striving towards the same, mutually agreed upon, goals.
Our 3-lens template has been used by global companies to firmly instill effective OKRs all the way up to the boardroom.
Ability: Capabilities and Leadership
Companies often struggle to accelerate the movement of value through their organization. Leaders must be able to identify opportunities to remove embedded impediments to value and improve flow.
Our team incorporates leadership development, Lean Portfolio Management, and business-aligned road mapping to help mitigate risks through full business orientation of IT activity.

Transformation Navigator
Oftentimes organizations enter into a digital transformation with all of the right plans, intentions, tools and consultants, only to have the transformation stall. Transformation Navigator is our proprietary online diagnostic utilizing a proven neural network system to identify embedded behavior patterns within your organization. Mapping the identified patterns into 6 core traits across strategy and execution, we can help you work through “hidden in plain sight” issues that have proven to stall transformations if they’re not identified and addressed.
OKR Workshops
We collaborate with your leadership and team members to co-create joint, actionable context and measurements, using our unique 3-lens approach, to creating effective Objectives and Key Results (OKRs). The end results unlock joint team accountability for global success and track needle movement across your business.
Control Tower
Observability is critical for maintaining visibility, trust, and flow of value. Control Tower provides ongoing observability of critical business metrics and processes as well as continuous monitoring of dynamic results to observe your progress and validate success.
Resilient Leadership Workshops
Lack of proper leadership commitment is one of the biggest points of failure in a digital transformation. Our team has worked with global powerhouses and scrappy start-ups - and even though the vertical and size of the organizations may be different, the challenges are very much the same. Let us bring our experience into your organization, and help you avoid common missteps - and keep you on the road to becoming an adaptive organization.
Agile Transformation Coaching and Consulting
In today’s digital era, organizations can’t depend on achieving transformation by focusing on individual IT silos or technical improvements alone. We work across IT silos and close the gap between business and IT to deliver technical, cultural and process improvements needed for left-to-right, top-down and bottom-up digital transformation.
Applied Action Learning
The techniques, definitions and roles of lean-agile methodologies are relatively simple. However, in practice, adopting and mastering lean-agility is challenging for individuals, teams and certainly for entire organizations. There is still a need for experienced educators to help strengthen new habits, foster more effective outcomes, and to help head of the tendency for old habits to strangle the new practices. Our goal is to coach you through all of these challenges - and quickly get you to a state of self-sustaining lean-agility that's stable and scalable.
Technology for the Journey
Our coaches and consultants are also focused on using tools to provide transparency, accountability, and observability throughout your transformation. From Transformation Navigator, Path to Agility, Rally, Jira and more, we are proponents of using technology to inform, shape and enable your digital transformation – and provide visibility into our progress every step of the way.
