Optimize for Speed Workshop
Redesign a development group to eliminate waste, friction, and inefficiency
For Product Executives, Business Unit Leaders and all staff involved in the creation of a product or service
Need
Poor organizational design can increase the effort to create a product by a factor of 10 and increase the time to market by a factor of three or more. Many organizations suffer from crushing bureaucracy that makes it difficult to move forward on new initiatives.
Reduce the time to market for new products and improve market fit of new products by redesigning to eliminate waste, friction, and inefficiency
Approach
A two- or three-day workshop for decision-makers and value-producers to understand the current design of your organization and identify unnecessary friction, inefficiency, and dependencies. Identify key bottlenecks and dependencies to design more efficient structures. Create a realistic plan for achieving the change. Conclude with a commitment from all participants to do their best to make the plan a reality.
Benefit
Reduce costs and time to market by redesigning the organization to optimize for speed and valuation generation. Minimize resistance and fear by engaging all players to identifying and address key concerns and impediments to success.
