We help product and maker teams…
Clearly defining what ‘good’ means across company, team, and individual competencies and roles creates mutual accountability between leaders and their people. Consistent and transparent standards, connected to level expectations, enables meaningful skills-development roadmaps for maker and tech teams.
Maker teams need more than one option for growth and leadership. Not everyone wants to manage people. Creating nuanced non-linear career paths, diverse leadership archetypes, and unambiguous role expectations makes teams work better.
Clearly connecting performance, feedback, goals, and progression enables self-guided, autonomous growth. Providing control for individuals in how they develop, combined with actionable data on skills distribution and gaps for team leaders, unlocks greater internal mobility.
How we work with cross-functional leaders
There is no one-size-fits-all solution, any proposed changes to people’s career development or growth need to be carefully planned. The requirements need to include existing systems and processes, and incorporate a detailed understanding of both business and user needs.
New processes, frameworks, systems and tools are designed in close collaboration with teams and leaders, iterated with rapid concept testing. Involving teams in the process minimises the risk of ‘organ rejection’, so changes don’t feel like ‘top down’ mandates or moving goalposts.
Dropping new processes or tools into an already complex landscape is likely to fail. If the things we create are not introduced carefully to the business, with smart internal comms and the right owners and advocates, the value and impact is likely to be muted.
People are your business
Product, design, and tech leaders face unique challenges when building and maintaining collaborative, high-performing teams.
We help cross-functional teams design and deploy processes, frameworks, and tools for roles, skills, career paths, performance, hiring, and retention.
Our mission is to bridge the gap between what product and maker teams need, and what the business requires of them, giving leaders time and money back to spend with their people.
