“Quinn has had a huge impact on our team culture and leadership dynamics. Their unique blend of technical expertise and incisive leadership coaching not only improved technical practices but also greatly enhanced the team’s collaborative spirit.
Quinn is an exceptionally resourceful leadership consultant who knows how to unlock a team’s potential, and I wholeheartedly recommend them to any organisation aiming to drive transformative change.”
Do you ever get the feeling your tech team could just be a little bit better?
Maybe you’ve experienced some of these:
- You have been working on a feature for ages but you have no idea when it’s actually going to ship
- Your team are kind and friendly people but they don’t really trust each other… or you
- Every time you ship, there are bugs reported by users
- You have big ideas but you’re too busy firefighting to get a design meeting
These and many more are common issues in tech teams, but there is a solution!
How it works
Every contract is bespoke, tailored to your team's needs and budget. The process below is one we have used before and we know works well.
- 1. Discovery
-
We spend a week interviewing members of your team, teasing out pain points and areas that could use improvement.
We will look at both team culture / processes and the technical architecture of your products.
At the end, we'll do an interactive presentation of our assessment of your situation and a first attempt at recommended solutions.
- 2. Embed
-
Quinn and/or associates join your team for 3-6 months to observe, coach and put changes into action.
During this time, your team will undergo rapid change in the way it does things, but its leadership will be fully empowered to continue the work after this phase is over.
- 3. Retainer
-
Optionally, you can keep us on call for an extended period afterwards.
Your team will be able to contact us for support with specific initiatives, knotty technical challenges, facilitation or coaching & mentoring.
Other services
Since every team’s needs are different, you may want to hire us for other services.
