Project Reviews
Are you worried about your ERP or other enterprise-wide project? Our project review process can quickly isolate critical problems/issues and focus corrective action while the project is ongoing.
Work Culture Change Program
Are you concerned that your organization’s current work culture is less effective and consistent than it needs to be? Our 2-phase work culture change program can identify and close gaps between your current work culture and the work culture to which your organization aspires.
Project Retrospectives
How's your project performance track record? We can help you capture and highlight effective and ineffective project practices by reviewing, analyzing and learning from projects that have been completed. You are already paying for the lessons. Wouldn't you like to benefit from them?
Packaged-Software Vendor Reviews
Is your organization about to select a software package or tool? Are you haunted by bad memories of past implementations as you select the next one? Do you wish you had known before you purchased the software what you learned as the implementation progressed?
A better selection experience is possible! Conducting a vendor review BEFORE you buy helps you make a sound selection, reduce your up-front worries and set you up for success with a vendor. In addition to facilitating the vendor review, we use a "shadowing" method that teaches you how to conduct your own vendor reviews in the future. Not only do you make a sound selection this time; your organization will be trained to conduct your own reviews the next time.
Organizational Assessments
If you don't know where you are, a map won't be much help! An organizational assessment is like a snap shot of your organization's current capability to develop products and deliver services. It helps you know where you are now. Our tactical and strategic improvement recommendations will help you decide what changes you want to make.
Making Capability Improvements
Once you decide what changes you want to make to improve your organization's capability, we can show you what must be done to successfully lead those changes in your organization. Our method is based on over two decades of observing how software and information technology (IT) organizations change. We help you produce the necessary improvement planning and follow-through required to implement changes in a sustainable way.
Inspections
It is more economical and more effective to find and fix bugs before they are discovered during testing. Inspections can detect potential defects and focus corrective action toward the work product itself as well as processes that produce the work product. We can plan and conduct inspections for you or train you how to do it using our Shadow Method of on-the-job training.
