Stuck in Software?
Design systems that deliver transformation.
featured speaker at …
Are you stuck in software that no longer meets your evolving needs? Have you been part of a “digital transformation” that failed to transformed what matters most?
You’ve hit the iceberg that sinks most transformations: We don’t think in systems.
We help you avoid that iceberg. We shift the way teams think, communicate and organize to match the system you want to build.
We also dive into the tech, translating strategy into technology decisions that actually transform.
We partner with teams to create holistic, iterative systems transformation. Our real world experience enables us to discover together what works for you. And help build learning teams that can carry you into the future.
Our mission is helping paradigm shifters lead in the right direction.
We help leaders and learning-driven teams … transform what matters.

How We Think

Tools for thinking well together when creating systems.
The Hard Skills? Systems Leadership.
In the world of “digital transformation”, software is becoming systems. In order to provide systems leadership, IT professionals need an emerging set of (new) skills, some we might not think of as “IT skills.” This participatory talk introduces a few.
Integration Leadership
Integration leadership delivers thinking that cultivates conceptual integrity and solves systems challenges. Explores leadership as synthesizing knowledge, experience and good judgement in to sound decisions.
Beyond Coding Podcast: Systems Thinking
Designing systems that accommodate for information in many contexts is incredibly interesting. We explore how think and act in systems. And why this is an emerging skillset.
Defining Strategic Thinking
The value of every decision we make depends on the context in which we make it. Frodo’s journey to destroy the ring is meaningful inside the context of Middle Earth. Otherwise, he’s a short, hairy guy with apocalyptic hallucinations.
