Our four point approach to organisational change can be applied at all levels of the business.

From senior executives to individual employees, we are committed to building capability across the organisation. Through alignment of personal goals to business initiatives and OKRs, we ensure that everyone's work is contributing to the business' overall objectives and hence, the delivery of value.

Your employees are given the resources they need to develop their skills and knowledge, so that they can make meaningful contributions to the business. Empowering and communicating well with your employees and helping them to understand the transformative nature of the business ensures that everyone is working together to achieve your company's goals.

Our four point method starts your journey with a clear understanding of the outcomes you expect.

By defining the value as a measurable statement, you will outline initial parameters and enable the cascade of value from OKR to story and story to OKR.

Next you will define the value being delivered by these outcomes within the portfolio allowing for data driven decisions based on value.

Finally we will build lasting capability to support leaders and teams in the practical application of more lean and agile practices as we work together to deliver beneficial change. Download our service catalogue to find out more.

EVOLVE THE ORG

Benefit, Measure, Value, Work
An end to end program tailored to fit your organisation. We will work across all levels of the business to ensure a common understanding of the benefits of change; agree a common way to measure the delivery of value and work to deliver it.

Building an agile organisation requires several key factors to be considered:

Clear Vision and Strategy: A clear vision and strategy (the value), should be established to guide decision-making and provide direction for the organisation

Cross-functional Teams: Teams should be composed of cross-functional members who can collaborate and communicate effectively to achieve shared goals

Continuous Learning: The organisation must have a culture of continuous learning, experimentation, and improvement

Empowered Teams: Teams should be empowered to make decisions and take ownership of their work

Agile Methodology: Agile methodologies should be implemented to promote flexibility, rapid adaptation, and continuous delivery

EVOLVE THE TEAM

Breakdown, Describe, Size, Track
Working at team level, we will embed and enable teams to break their work down into chunks; clearly describe the work; size the work based on it’s complexity and plan the delivery of the work.

Break work down into chunks: when teams understand the WHO, WHAT and HOW of delivery, they can break their work down into meaningful pieces of value to deliver.

Describe the work: by clearly articulating the value and what it is for, transparency improves and mismatch between expectation and product delivered should be reduced.

Size the work: when teams understand the complexity of what they are trying to deliver, they can size the work based on the effort to deliver and the skills available within the team.

Plan and track the work: once teams have a prioritised backlog of clearly described, sized work, they can create a roadmap for delivery that should reflect everything they know about the delivery.

Empowerment: Teams should be empowered to make decisions and take ownership of their work, which fosters a sense of ownership and accountability.

Agile Methodology: Agile methodologies should be implemented to promote flexibility, rapid adaptation, and continuous delivery

LEAN STARTUP

Build, Measure, Learn
Using lean agile principles, we will work with your teams to ensure a deep understanding of your customer and what they really need positions the teams to deliver the right thing to your customers and adapt using quick feedback cycles.

Lean Startup is a methodology that emphasises building products through iterative experimentation and validated learning.

It is based on the idea that startups should focus on creating a minimum viable product (MVP) that can be tested with real customers to determine if there is a market fit before investing significant time and resources into building a fully-featured product.

Reduces risk: By testing a minimum viable product with real customers early on, startups can quickly determine if there is a market fit. This helps to reduce the risk of investing significant time and resources into building a product that no one wants.

Faster time-to-market: The lean startup methodology encourages rapid iteration and experimentation, which can help startups bring products to market faster.

Customer-focused: Lean startup is customer-focused and emphasises creating products that solve real problems for customers. This helps startups to create products that have a better chance of success in the market.

Continuous improvement: The lean startup methodology encourages continuous improvement through experimentation and learning. This helps startups to stay responsive and adapt to changes in the market or customer needs.
