As organizations move into the 21st century, it is clear that businesses can benefit from Lean principles. This requires change. Practices, policies, procedures that have been in place for years require examination.

Change can be difficult and painful. As a Change Agency, Modus Cooperandi partners and associates understand that rapid change can be disorienting and unsustainable. If your organization is going to change, shouldn’t change be sustainable and respect what your groups are already doing right?

We also understand that change should be undertaken in service of a goal. Just because change is possible, doesn’t mean it’s necessary.  Our core competency is in identifying select changes that will have high value in the present and start you down a road of ongoing improvement in the future.

All of the Modus Cooperandi principal consultants have real world experience managing software development teams using Agile and Lean techniques at companies like Sprint, Motorola, Microsoft, Corbis and Gray Hill Solutions. During this time, we’ve had the opportunity to develop a large body of knowledge and experience that we are now able to offer to you and your management team in the form of consulting, coaching, and training.

We can work directly with you and your organization to identify waste, remove bottlenecks and increase throughput. Our style of achieving this is to understand not only your value stream, but also what your organization actually values. We then look at the org chart, but go beyond it with a social networking analysis to find the real information flow in your company. From there we examine your current business practices.

This leads to an iterative management and coaching plan. We work closely with you, so the value we provide is constantly understood by both parties. When there is no more value to provide, from either perspective, the engagement ends.

We can engage on long term consulting and coaching engagements to first help you identify what you need to improve and where you should start. We will first assess your organizations culture, maturity and current capabilities and make specific tailored recommendations to enable your organization to unleash the its hidden potential.
