SOLUTION DELIVERY TRANSFORMATION
Our Solution Delivery Transformation Engagement is a structured partnership designed to help guide us through the process of building a consistent and predictable delivery framework for you - one that is sustainable beyond your next project and has the flexibility to handle all of the implementation scenarios you'll encounter
As we work together through this change process, you'll find that the Business and Technology Partnerships, within your organization, will coalesce in a such way that your Customer and Stakeholders Goals are prioritized as a part of your Culture
With Guide Ring Consulting as your Partner, Your Delivery Capabilities will become a Competitive Advantage, and Position you as a Leader for the Voice of the Customer, in Your Market
How is a Solution Delivery Transformation different from a PMO setup or Agile Transformation?
Both PMO setups and Agile transformations in particular, are primarily focused on software development methodologies and driven by the internal preferences and capabilities of your technology teams
Solution Delivery, on the other hand, is outwardly focused on your customer requirements - it advocates for no particular methodology, other than that which is needed to meet their specific needs and those of your business stakeholders
Because Good Delivery is about your values and your culture, Solution Delivery Transformation does not limit the scope of involvement to just your technology teams but rather takes an enterprise approach
What can I expect from our Solution Delivery Partnership?
It all starts with defining Good Delivery... Is it consistently hitting your monthly release train milestones, delivering your waterfall projects on time and in budget? Is the definition of Good Delivery the same for all of the strategy in your portfolio? Who Decides?
How do we answer all of these questions?
At Guide Ring we've pioneered a concept we refer to as your Enterprise Solution Delivery Network (ESDN), here is where your answers can be found
Every Organization has an ESDN, whether it's recognized or not; it's the collection of Partnerships, Processes and Technologies that bring your Ideas to Life - From Innovation to Implementation, this body is the engine that drives strategy and serves as the touch point to your Customers, Competitors and your Market

Engagement Overview
With your ESDN identified, we'll enlist their help to conduct an objective assessment of the projects in your strategic portfolio to determine best fit methodology (usually Agile or Waterfall) - this is often an enlightening exercise for our Clients.
From this assessment, we'll discuss gaps in your planned delivery approach, versus those recommended, to help you formulate a plan, based on your capabilities and need to pivot to achieve alignment between your methodologies and business objectives
Finally, we'll work with you to Re-Balance the Decision Making Framework, within your organization, to position Your ESDN to play a significant role in your new customer-focused Solution Delivery Process
