Big Consulting vs Us
even if they are in the future.
What they do | What we do |
Come in with any army of consultants ready to tell you what to do, how to do it, and when to do it. | Work with you to figure out the right mix of consulting and coaching to best understand your needs before co-creating a plan on what/how/when. |
Come in, change things around, leave. Short-term thinking for a short-term engagement. | Take a long-term and greater-good approach to change within the host organizational culture. |
Big-bang implementation across the board in one fell swoop. | Incremental, feedback-driven implementation based on learning, greatest need, and highest value dimensions. |
Focus on tools, practices, and procedures to unlock incremental gains. | Focus on values, behaviors, mindsets to unlock exponential gains. |
Write an email. | Have a conversation. |
Teach agile systems based on generic off-the-shelf frameworks and models that your organization must change to fit into. | Co-create and train specific frameworks with the host organization in order to meet current and emerging needs. |
Leave the organization in a state of change (Chaos?) without instilling the knowledge needed to self sustain. | Focus on instilling an understanding of continious learning in order to allow for adaptability and self-sustainability long after we have gone. |
Implement wide-spread frameworks that do not meet needs of individual areas of your business, leading to negative impact on effectiveness and efficiency. | Provide guidance to each area of your organization in a way that meets their needs whilst also adhering to organization-wide standards. |
Takes a “best-practice” approach to agile transformations, with no regards to the variability and complexity of the organization. | Take a blended approach to frameworks, by carefully crafting approaches that attend to the variability and complexity of your organization. |
