Lean-Agile Readiness Evaluation	In many cases you know what you want to do and so simply want to get started with the transformation. Others would like to take a more measured approach with some level of analysis to determine where the issues might be in your organization before you get started. The readiness evaluation seeks to identify potential impediments to smooth Agile adoption by looking at your people, your processes and the technologies you use. This evaluation is done through direct interviews with both executive, management, and key personnel as well as surveys, and analysis of current artifacts, and other tools. The result in a focussed report of current status and impediments, recommendations, and any raw data that I collect.	Yes
Lean-Agile Transformation Startup	Working with Executives, Managers, Teams and Customers, this is aimed at establishing the roadmap for the transformation. Training is provided to ensure people understand the Lean-Agile values and principles which are then worked into specific plan for implementation for a specified set of organizations or projects. The Lean-Agile Readiness Evaluation is often included in this approach.	Yes
Lean-Agile Quick-start	Sometimes you want to try some of the Agile ideas, perhaps as part of the Transformation Startup or perhaps just as a pilot to determine the effect the Agile approach will have on your organization. The Quick-start trains and supports a couple of teams in the basic philosophy of agile and core practices. The result that the team(s) immediately works using the new approach so you can learn from their experience and decide what to do next.
Lean-Agile Organization Retrospective	If you already have an Agile implementation in place, you will see parts of your organization (be that at the team, product, project, management, or wider organizational level) where you think more improvement is possible. Through a process of observation and focussed activities we will collaborate to determine a specific set of plans focussed on improvement areas.
