Results

Quiet proof.
Plain results.

Short accounts of work where the system was stuck. Clients are described by industry, not by name.

Financial Services Holding Company

Four failed attempts.
Then it went live three days early.

Situation

A multi brand consumer lending organization had tried four times to launch a new enterprise loan system. Each attempt failed. Budget disappeared. Confidence eroded. The people were capable. The way work moved between teams was not.

What we found

Ten teams across six departments were each following what they believed was the same process. None of them meant the same thing by it. Work cycles started and ended on different days. Sizing meant something different in every room. When leadership asked when the system would be done, no one could answer. Not because they were hiding it. Because the question could not be answered with how the work was organized.

What changed

We mapped how work moved, aligned ten teams around one shared plan, and gave the people closest to the work the authority to decide instead of relay. Vendors and internal teams began working from the same page for the first time.

Result

The system went live three days ahead of schedule.

Proof it was not luck

The client came back twice more. Once to exit a data center in three months without disrupting a live, around the clock operation. Once to stand up a fraud risk program across three separate business lines at the same time. Same method, three different problems, three results.

Medical Device Manufacturer

The first new product platform
from this line in eight years.
Delivered on schedule.

Situation

A medical device manufacturer needed to clear the final qualifying run for a new procedure chair, the first new platform released from that product line in eight years. Thirteen people, a wide vendor network, and a fixed regulatory milestone that could not move.

What changed

We joined the team, documented how the work really happened, and helped a group with real disagreement agree on one operating model they owned. Every dependency across internal teams and outside vendors moved into a single shared plan. Leadership received one honest picture of progress and risk every week instead of scattered updates.

Result

The chair launched on schedule as the first and only U.S. Access Board compliant procedure chair on the market.

Proof it was not luck

The client brought us back for a second contract on a different product line before the first one even finished, based on what they had already seen.

Insurance Department

Three new teams built from the ground up.
Two struggling teams turned around.
Ninety days.

Situation

A large insurance department had launched a company wide agile initiative that could not gain traction. Teams were stalled and confidence was fading.

What changed

We assessed what was happening, rebuilt the operating model to fit the organization, and stood up three new teams from scratch while repairing two teams already struggling in flight.

Result

Three new teams reached full operating capacity within ninety days. The two struggling teams moved to shipping new features every quarter.

“We hit the qualifying run on time without forcing overtime.”
