Outcomes Over Practices

70% of transformations fail because they focus on implementing practices instead of achieving results. We start with the business outcomes you need and work backward to only the practices that will move those outcomes.

Why Transformations Fail

Organizations pursuing improvement often get stuck. Teams adopt ceremonies but nothing changes, or progress exists in pockets while the rest of the org stays the same.

Practices Over Outcomes

Focusing on implementing ceremonies instead of achieving business results.

Team-Level Only

Limiting improvement to individual teams without system or organizational change.

Training Without Coaching

Teaching concepts without hands-on guidance to apply them.

No Business Engagement

Transformation happening in IT without business stakeholder involvement.

Ignoring the Value Stream

Failing to optimize flow across the entire delivery pipeline.

Transformation at
Every Level

True transformation requires change across the entire organization, not just teams.

Organization

Leadership develops a modern mindset, increases visibility throughout the organization, and creates alignment around vision, goals, and measurements of success for the organizational change.

System

Collections of teams are coordinating and collaborating to achieve optimal flow in value delivery.

Team

Teams successfully take on new roles, establish effective team practices, increase employee engagement, and achieve a sustainable, predictable cadence of delivering value.

The 9 Business Outcomes
We Measure Against

Everything we do is measured against these business results.

Why Outcomes
Over Practices?

Because adopting practices isn't the same as achieving outcomes. Transformation success isn't about ceremonies. It's about results.
