Is your current development operating model (or WoW) constantly a struggle to get right?
You are not alone! Whether problems are caused by growing pains, mergers / acquisitions, previous flipping between multiple approaches or plain old ‘anarchy’ of approach, so many leaders in delivery roles worry that they are missing out on huge potential delivery gains. They are right! Letting dysfunction in your ways of working fester is a sure-fire way to hold your organization back. It breads frustration amid teams, customers and leadership alike. Sub-optimal cycle times, poorly supported customers, slow to market, loss of competitive advantage are all symptoms that you have unseen issues lurking at the heart of how you operate.
Wouldn’t it be great if you could see your way to some solutions in a few days, rather than the classic slow-burn change initiative? But great consultants are outrageously expensive right?
That’s where our WoW Reboot service comes in. No frustration. No hassle. Just industry leading experts laser focussed to provide you with a candidate target operating model that you can run with.
