TECHNICAL LEADERSHIP, COACHING & MENTORING
Do you have smart people but trouble making decisions?
Do you need help understanding difficult tradeoffs?
Do you have problems planning releases and understanding team velocity?
Do you find it challenging to deliver multiple products as an organization?
Do you face the Innovator’s Dilemma, balancing the need to innovate while sustaining products?
CIOs, CTOs, VPs of Engineering, Development Managers, Heads of Product Management, and more face these hurdles at some point in time.
Developing technology leaders and teams via a hands-on approach that drives results and velocity.
Leadership Challenges
There are lots of books about leadership and important skills to develop. How to surface, evolve, and leverage those attributes is where hands-on help is needed. Ultimately, an effective leader’s benefits show up in a company’s financial results.
Team Challenges
The concept of “1+1=3” is what everyone wants. Individual contributors who can collaborate effectively to deliver inventive solutions at a high velocity. Building, leading, and motivating such teams is not a trivial task. The challenge is compounded when members are distributed and perhaps even speaking different languages, or guided by varied cultural norms. Navigating these apparent mine fields is not impossible and in the end can lead to positively amazing outcomes.
Process Challenges
Your company may prefer waterfall vs. agile, but can the two really be melded to achieve essential goals? Can product, feature, and component releases be well planned without compromising speed? Can innovation and customer feedback be leveraged in timely fashion to effectively drive revenue?
The answer to these questions is a resounding “Yes”! It stems from understanding individual capabilities, team dynamics, communications, and the establishment of clearly defined goals and areas of leadership.
“We must all obey the great law of change. It is the most powerful law of nature.”
