How We Work

1

Planning & Alignment

  • We clarify your improvement needs, objectives, where the biggest constraints lie, and involve key stakeholders from the start.
2

Workshop Sessions

  • Visualize and measure your workflows, spotting bottlenecks and dependencies, enabling powerful conversations about how to improve.
3

Improvement Roadmap

  • Prioritize Initiatives: Your teams build a plan with clear actions, owners, timelines, and measurable goals.
4

Implementation & Ongoing Support

  • Regular Check-ins: We review progress, address blockers, and refine actions as needed.

What Clients Say

"Miguel organized everything for us, we just had to join the workshops and get immediate value from them. We invested a bit, but the outcome is huge. Even if no further actions are taken, simply doing the workshops shows you what the bottlenecks are, what's slowing you down, and what is hurting the processes.

"All the workshops led us to the outcome we were expecting and got a good overview on areas we could improve to make the whole process more efficient. It was great to see the whole process, Miguel's facilitation skills as well as his VSM expertise.

"I always found Miguel excellent to work with and he added value whenever he was involved. He was always passionate with a great drive and took ownership of the work he was responsible for. He communicated very well with stakeholders at all levels and led meetings confidently and in a very organised manner.

"The value stream mapping Miguel organized for our Identity Service team had several impacts. On one side, a tremendous potential was unveiled how the process of deploying changes can be improved. On the other, it was a great team building exercise.

Case Study

The Challenge

A platform engineering team struggled with long lead times of 28 days between code push and production deployment. An inter-team dependency slowed the team down and deployment feedback arrived later than desired. The team wanted to prevent issues from reaching the customer, and wanted faster feedback on deployments, so they could fix any issues faster.

Our Approach

  • Held a Value Stream Mapping workshop to identify bottlenecks, collaboration gaps, and delayed handoffs.
  • Created a roadmap that empowered every developer to participate in deployments and detect potential issues earlier.
  • Collaborated with change management to set weekly deployment windows, so the team could plan effectively and integrate improvements gradually.

The Outcome

  • 64% Lead Time Reduction: Time from code completion to live deployment dropped from 28 to 10 days — delivering value more often.
  • Team Ownership: Every developer understands the deployment process and can execute it, removing single points of failure.
  • Fewer Surprises: Shifting quality checks earlier means potential issues are found sooner, reducing the cost of more expensive unplanned work.
