Put the Product in the Center and Be Iterative

The idea of a new platform for remotely managed equipments sounded awesome, but the team was not fully aware how unprepared they were for such a major venture. The architecture design was immature, and the expectation about the scope was humble.

However, market pressure for the self-contained cloud solution for lubricators in isolated locations such as ocean windmill farms was high. The customer quickly responded when we suggested a design workshop instead of embarking on a full fledged project with an unclear concept.

The team responded superbly, and within a week we had a solid high level plan with a backlog for a prototype. The work could start in a confident way. After the success of the MVP, which was already delivered with Scrum principles, the real project could build on a sustainable foundation.

Almost 2 years later, with continuous integration and deployment already in place in the development stage, a state-of-the-art service went live, and the satisfaction survey resulted 100% happiness, highlighting the value of product-oriented design, agile way of working, and coaching.

Rally New Hires Under Your Flag

After the acquisition by IBM, Nordcloud went on a hypergrowth trajectory with the expectation that business will expand fast. In a mere 12 months, around 1500 people joined, and the company suddenly became 4 times its previous size. Quickly, work became siloed, and fractions started show as many parts of the organization struggled with alignment.

The idea was to create a massive upskilling program that demonstrates our end-to-end business model, from sales leads to delivery and operations. In the implementation, we identified the key principles as: always together, always mixed, never boring. Sales needed to understand maintenance, and developers needed to grasp solutioning. We created onsite, interactive, entertaining events that made lasting memories. We created storylines and worked with actual customer cases. We put on a show.

The Academies made an instant impact. The awareness and the quality of discussions increased significantly, and our network effect showed. Employees started to encourage each other to work in a much more process-compliant and collaborative way.

Nordcloud’s business became a mind-blowing 8 times bigger in the same period. Guess the training program contributed?

Lead by Example, Inspire Change

Take a major global player in manufacturing, founded 100+ years ago, and start a large-scale public cloud transformation. Do you think it’s a match? Of course not.

The challenge is not technology. The shift requires a fundamental change in the way of working, demanding new skills, mindsets, and collaboration models to navigate agile methodologies and cloud-native principles. Losing velocity, missing results. Uncertainty. Frustration. Pressure.

Let’s restart with an Open Space workshop, and have coaching sessions, we said. Let’s equip teams with the knowledge and confidence to adapt. Through hands-on training, mentorship, and leadership enablement, let’s empower teams to get the most out of transformation.

The results, and the success of one cloud-native project were “infectious.” The initiative laid the groundwork for global agile adoption program. Acting autonomously, the customer created their own scalable framework for digital transformation.

By leading with action and empowering teams, we sparked lasting change, but this wouldn’t have been possible without a shared desire for change.

Fix It Early, If You’re Gone Astray

Our customer, a dominant global player in the automotive industry, started an ambitious and complex project for data migration and consolidation in the cloud. The team quickly veered off course due to misaligned allocation plans and a lack of shared vision. Progress stalled, frustration grew. Without a clear organizational framework and a unified direction, teams struggled to meet expectations, and key milestones were at risk.

We needed a swift and focused approach. We proposed a clinic-style intervention to diagnose issues without delay. We scheduled rapid reviews, did a targeted analysis, and gave immediate feedback, helping identify the root causes of misalignment. Workshops and agile coaching then enabled teams to realign.

With the renewed momentum, the impact was tangible: three out of four project streams regained their trajectory, hitting key milestones in the following months. What started as a quick fix evolved into an ongoing partnership, with collaboration extending beyond the initial engagement and continuing strong since 2020.

Sometimes, all it takes is a timely course correction to unlock long-term success.
