• EVOLVING NATURALLY WITH YOU


    We at Santeon continue to distinguish ourselves through trial by fire transformation techniques. We know that transformation happens at various levels of an organization and each bit requires a customized approach. Scaling transformation initiatives requires addressing a variety of opinions, impediments and cultures within an organization. We employ a variety of agility scaling methods, each has its unique requirements and design. All involve capturing organizational bench marks and collaborating on business goals. All operate on the contingency that progress can't sacrifice quality and current commitments. Our transformations are tailored, sustainable and successful.

    The most important ingredient in transformation is people. An organization must invest in the highest quality training and professional development to keep their workforce willing and able to reach business goals on a global scale. Santeon tailors professional development training to meet your staff's needs and performance goals.

    Other service and transformation companies often take a one-size-fits-all approach to transformation we do not. Some offer only team level transformation without considering the holistic structure of the entire organization. These approaches are faulty from the get-go. We create and insure C-Level buy-in to enable faster adoption. We do not pilot transformations, rather sandbox them, allowing teams and organizations to fail early, learn from their mistakes and evolve without negative repercussion. Transparency and engagement is essential across an enterprise for success as well as continuous “feedforward” (versus feedback).

    Models of Agile Transformation


    Regardless of the approach all transformations go through the lifecycle of change.

    Big Bang Model


    This approach works best went there is high-level executive buy-in and across the board enthusiasm for change.

    Pilot or Team Model


    When working within in constrained environments often a "Pilot" Model of transformation is often best.

    Staged Model


    This model works at a high-level to onboard an organization's acceptance of change while adding value.

  • WE’VE DONE IT AND WE’RE HELPING OTHERS DO IT


    Serving all sectors in the SaaS, Government and Commercial clients

    For every organization Agile looks different. Our work is defined by two key differentiators:

    The tremendous experience offered by our Enterprise, Senior and Team grade agile coaches

    Our blended approach to Agile adoption: We do not wish to impose one model of agility upon your organization. Rather, we adapt or blend various models to tailor-fit agile to your unique business goals and environments.

    Our idea of enterprise agility begins by understanding your current process. We don't start from scratch, but build upon the elements of agility already exhibited in your current process. We will work with you to create the agile flavor that will give you the most flexibility within the constraints of your environment.

    We will not copy and paste agile processes from other organizations because we know it doesn't work. We identify the unique elements of your business that are in-line with the agile mindset and then supplementing that process with the agile practices for which you are ready.

    How do we build your processes? By conducing a comprehensive role based agile assessment. From there we will have an agility snapshot as well as defined KPIs we can continuously measure through the agile adoption timeline. With these essential elements in-hand we can begin designing a customized adoption roadmap that successfully leverages your unique agile strengths.

    WE CAN HELP YOU

    Define an Agile Adoption Roadmap

    Spreading the agile mindset across an organization and manifesting its values and principles is a lot different than just putting a process in place and leaving. We show you how to be agile and then show you how to do it.

    Conquer Agile Growing Pains

    We all have them—growing pains. It is how we deal with them that determines the organization we will become. Through our agile optimization services, we make sure that your organization has all the tools it needs to conquer tomorrow's challenges. We integrate BPM, Lean, Six Sigma and CMMI capability with your agile process to further improve upon your agile development lifecycle.

    Improve Individual and Team Performance

    To understand more about the way we do work it is important to understand the way we approach embedded consulting. Our coaches are leading minds in their field. We've broken them based on their individual experience so you know the exact quality to expect from day one. Regardless of the tier of agile coach you're working with, we apply the same philosophy. We have the know-how but only you truly know your organization. Our goal is educate and mentor your internally designated agile coaches in what we know. It's their job to build on their knowledge of your company to truly exceed all expectations of work for us. No one can become as agile capable as your internal coaches and we'll work with you to identify who they are.

    Maintain CMMI Compliance

    Capability Maturity Model Integration or CMMI is increasingly the process level environment standard for organization in the realm of IT. Many of our clients struggle with how to meet and maintain CMMI level three while dealing with the an influx of changing processes. We have experience meeting and maintaining the highest level of CMMI process standards for our clients. First, we develop an internal CMMI audit team of Lean/Six Sigma Black Belts to act as a capability enforcement and oversight. Then, we leverage our Agile Project Management Platform to assess and determine expected CMMI quality ranking.

    UTILIZE EVERY TOOL AVAILABLE


    Agile Assessment Platform

    Early on, we faced the same question many of you are facing; "How do we adopt an Agile mindset and transform ourselves from our current waterfall process?" The answer was not an easy one. We had to develop our own platform to discover the first step.

    The first step was comprehensive role-based Agile Assessment. To understand where our organization wanted to be we first had to uncover where we were—in mindset, in readiness and in support. Now you can leverage our Agile Assessment Platform

    COMMUNICATION


    By meeting iteratively, Santeon consultants open a healthy dialogue with their clients. Coaches work very closely with stakeholders and project sponsors to learn not just how to build the system right, but more importantly what the right system is. Consultants listen thoughtfully as clients test the model. Throughout the production process, Santeon representatives perpetually keep the system in a production-ready state.

    IMPROVING PERFORMANCE

Or, do you dream about an experience that is engaging, fun, interactive, and challenging? Do you search for a learning experience that feels more like play than like work?

    Learning should be fun. Learning should be as much fun as it was when you were in preschool, when learning felt like play. Come play with us at Santeon.
