Deliver Better Results

How to Unlock Your Organization's Potential

About the Book

Need to fix or improve product development?

To better solve customer problems, be more productive, pivot more easily?

You might have already tried what the industry has to offer -- Agile frameworks, Big Tech practices, team empowerment, modern tools -- but real improvement has been limited, slow, or unsustainable.

This book is for you. In it, you’ll discover:

  • A complete picture of what it takes to make meaningful, efficient, and sustainable improvement
  • 10 sequential, incremental, and holistic to optimize value delivery
  • How to implement these strategies in your organization, whether it’s product-oriented or project-oriented, traditional or agile or hybrid, single-team or scaled
  • An easy, process-agnostic, and nontechnical assessment that will show you which strategies to use now

To help you apply everything in your context, the book also includes:

  • Dozens of real-life examples and a complete case study
  • Plain-language advice on people-first leadership, mindset, and systems thinking
  • Group discussion questions for leaders
  • Downloadable summaries and self-assessment questionnaires

Not in this book: idealism, dogma, prescriptions, magic bullets.
