Everyone’s needs are different, and we work in different ways
to meet those needs: Where you need a solution we join
your organization to provide it.
We prefer to
work incrementally to deliver early, measurable outcomes of clear and lasting
value, fast. We do this using
clear and accountable methods to identify and agree the issue to be resolved,
identify a good solution, proven where it exists, novel when required, and
then work with managers and staff, sharing knowledge, methods and tools, to
deliver that solution. We have developed and acquired a number of very
effective methods and tools for managing change and software process
improvement that we make freely available to those we work with, and these
tools become yours. This is the most comprehensive service we offer, and
because we prefer an incremental approach it is non disruptive, low impact,
low risk, and low cost. Sometimes you simply need the
knowledge to develop the solution yourself. We will provide a range of
workshops, coaching, guidance and advice to help you solve your problems and
achieve agreed objectives. You will
have ready access to our tools for change and process improvement. A traditional and cost effectives
way to introduce or re-invigorate practices, models and concepts for large
numbers of people; and a low cost, low risk way to investigate aspects of
software development, management and testing. We prefer to start with an analysis to determine what is
needed, and then tailor or develop the material, incorporating your own
material too, if desired. We can deliver courses ‘off the shelf ‘ too; to
introduce topics or establish a common understanding. And we can help you
train your trainers, and develop your own materials too. Sometimes it is difficult for
smaller organizations or teams to justify the investment in developing their
own functions or services. They are not used sufficiently to justify
developing them in house, but do add value or are required by process
standards or certification bodies. We can provide you with a range of on
demand services including Quality Assurance (not including testing), the
facilitation of management and technical reviews, facilitation of
retrospectives and post implementation reviews – and expedite their actions,
manage risk workshops, undertake process and product measurement, and many
other support functions. We can be available at any time by
phone or email to answer unlimited questions. The frequency and style of
interaction are up to you and we will visit you on site too, if needed. This
service is best for organizations or teams we have already worked with or
that are already on their way to achieving their objectives. Our Costs: Costs depend on the scope and
duration of the work, but are probably less than you expect. On large
assignments it may be necessary to charge a fee for initial consultation, but
this will be credited to the cost of the assignment. And we are able to offer several of
our services – those with a significant element of research or development,
that have uncertain outcomes or an element of risk - for zero cost. Contact us to find out more, or for a quote. Our Guarantee: We want you to succeed so we guarantee our work. For six
months after the completion of work we will keep in touch. If, during this
period, results are not adequate, or your progress is too slow we will
undertake on site remedial work without additional charge to eliminate the
problem. For the duration of the guarantee period you will have
unlimited access to us by phone or email to answer questions and deal with
problems. What next? Contact us to arrange a first consultation Call +44 (0) 1993
