Who we are and what we do
We customize the training of your staff to achieve Productivity with Ease.
We focus on the creation of environments that attract and retain people who want to be part of a team with heart and soul–Well Formed Teams–that is self-organized, self-contained, value-driven, and self-empowered.
Our innovation is in the use of the Scrum methodology to achieve this goal.
How we do it
By adapting the Scrum methodology –successfully used in the IT world for more than 20 years– to other industries, giving us the framework to build thriving work environments that attract and retain the right people who want to be part of a team with heart and soul –a Well Formed Team– achieving productivity (and more profits) with ease.
We use 5 key concepts from Scrum:
- Getting things to-done: We focus on moving the ball forward everyday instead of being frustrated with a long to-do list that never seems to end.
- Moving that ball forward in Sprints: Sprints last 1-2 weeks and deliver small improvements while opening opportunities for adjustment.
- Welcoming iterations: Because we get better by trial an error.
- Building a round-table leadership: Instead of counting on a few managers to find solutions, everyone in the team has a voice.
- Focusing on delivering value to the end-user: Because happy customers make a happy staff, and happy staff makes happy stakeholders.
What you can expect
Our work is similar to the journey of a sailboat. We have an origin port –our client’s current work environment– and we know the destination port –a workplace that encourages and maintains Well Formed Teams. Because the sailboat can’t control the weather, the route is going to be uncertain; nevertheless, with the right instruments –the Scrum framework in our case– the sailboat can arrive safely to its destination.

Why we’re passionate about what we do
Even though Scrum has been around for more than 20 years allowing the IT Industry to deliver software more effectively, it’s an unknown methodology for most other industries. We’re excited to bring this effectiveness to small and medium size businesses and provide relief to some of its major pain points: high turnover, employee dissatisfaction, staff shortage, and absenteeism.
