Performance Through Collaboration

Modus Cooperandi’s mission is to deliver Performance Through Collaboration by deploying modern collaborative techniques such as Agile practices and Lean Thinking coupled with insights in communication and collaboration from Social Media and Social Networking. We use the theories from all these schools of thought to provide solutions tailored to specific corporate cultures.

The Modus partners have years of experience in the application of Agile, Lean and collaborative techniques to large organizations, work groups and distributed enterprises. We believe that the basic tenants of collaborative management are the reduction of waste, an increase in throughput and an increase in quality. This cannot happen without adequate performance measurement. Change without verification is a leap of faith that business should not make.

The Modus team includes leaders in Agile, Lean and Social Media thinking.

Communication, Collaboration, Implementation

Modern business requires constant internal and external communication. Collaborative tools and techniques are imperative in modern business success.

Collaboration helps streamline every aspect of your business:

• involving customers in the feature discovery phase;
• removing barriers to staff communication;
• providing information in the hands of those who need it, when they need it;
• building consensus for decisions;
• enabling leadership and improving motivation;
• building strong and cohesive teams;
• tracking the development and manufacturing processes; and
• getting feedback from your customers to improve the product.

Every business is different. Different cultures, different products, different markets, different customer demands. Collaborative management techniques like Agile, Lean, and Social Media should be used judiciously. This requires an appreciation of your unique business practices. Change cannot be thrust upon an organization.

At Modus Cooperandi, we draw from a wide array of techniques to help organizations function more smoothly. We introduce change at a comfortable rate and in ways that build upon the existing strengths of a company. This creates a continuous approach to improvement, implemented in a natural and nonthreatening manner.
