Auditing

Create transparency into your product delivery or organizational change effectiveness.

Altering how an organization functions is incredibly difficult. Unfortunately, most change efforts aren’t successful on the first attempt. That doesn’t mean it’s hopeless. Wherever you are in the process, objectively evaluating your situation can increase your chances of success while containing costs.

New Beginnings

Identify where to start and what to expect during your organizational change effort while learning to identify what to measure and when to adapt so that you remain in control.

False Starts

Get your change effort back on track with a second opinion from an independent third party who can steer you towards more valuable outcomes.

Failed Attempts

Regroup after a failed change initiative with the benefit of an audit to determine what happened and how to increase the chance of success next time.

Product Delivery
Health-Check

Find out if your product delivery organization is achieving all it can with an objective overview of what’s going well, what needs improvement, and what needs attention before issues arise.

WORKSHOPS

Gain critical insights with an interactive learning experience.

Evaluating Scaling Approaches

The business case for scaling up development is narrow with significant costs. Is it the right choice for your organization, or are there less painful options? Dive deep into various scaling approaches to inform your decision about the one that might fit your organization best and develop experiments using strategies for avoiding common issues.

Product Strategy Development

“If you build it, they will come’” is a beautiful line from a movie but a poor approach to running a business. Get back to the basics by defining the customer, the opponents, the market and the opportunities, and create a hypothesis for how you intend to succeed. Learn how to create a strategy, make key assumptions explicit and develop experiments to validate your approach.

A Behavioral Economics Approach to Change

What core assumptions do we make about people when we design organizational change? What if some of them are wrong, and not just a little? Get an introduction to humans through the lens of the latest insights from behavioral economics. Understand why behavior is a measure, not a goal and how to use it to design lasting change while avoiding change fatigue.

Managing Budget & Risk in a Complex World

You have a goal or business problem to solve. You don’t know how long it will take, how many people you’ll need to involve or even what needs to get done. You know that trying to guess these answers upfront won’t work and just getting started is the better choice. But how do you manage the risk and your budget? Learn an approach that maintains flexibility while remaining in control and adapt it to fit your organization.

Xavier Demilly

Training Participant

“This class allowed me to reflect on how to improve my effectiveness as a PO. Although I'm familiar with both, Scrum and Design Thinking, I tend to treat them as separate tracks. Through this program, I realized how Design Thinking can be used as a complementary practice.”
