Rick Morrow, CEOAdditionally, sudden cultural shifts further multiply the quandary as companies undergo problems in aligning their personnel with a new way of working. This is where global IT consulting firm, Ivar Jacobson International (IJI) can help. IJI provides state-of-the-art consulting, coaching, and training solutions to aid companies in achieving optimal benefits during enterprise-scale Agile software development. “As Agile approaches are becoming ubiquitous among customer and suppliers, we are helping companies to detect the impediments in their existing status quo and providing direction to ensure their programmes are aligned to their business vision and goals and their change programme is sustainable,” says Rick Morrow, CEO of IJI.
On the same lines, he further mentions that while scaling Agile approaches, many organizations often face issues with mapping their regulatory requirements. “With our competent team of consultants, we develop an approach where we aid organizations to thrive with Agile techniques while adhering to the regulatory guidelines,” he adds.
Backed by an experienced group of consultants from some of the world’s leading firms, IJI brings forth cutting-edge practices and resources to aid its clients in choosing the best frameworks without losing visibility. “Our ready to go practices and frameworks enable organizations to get up and running in minimal time.”
With the Scaled Agile Framework® (SAFe®), the firm provides a customized learning experience to its clients – working to ensure the best, sustainable approach for each unique environment. Being a Gold Partner of Scaled Agile, the firm offers training and certification at all levels. The firm also motivates teams to create modular practices and adaptive ways of working with Essentialization—the act of applying the Essence Kernel for consolidating disconnected, conflicting, costly, contradictory, and transitory methods and practices.
However, before initiating any project, the firm assesses the current situation of its clients to comprehend their requisites and navigate a path for their Agile journey. Subsequently, IJI categorizes individual achievement levels and harvests cutting-edge practices among teams to supplement their efficiency and production volume. “With our toolkit of market-ready practices and IP, we are powering organizations in building robust Agile practices and aligning them with their business goals,” he states.
Since its inception, the firm has catered to the needs of clients in several industries including finance, insurance, healthcare, and automotive. Morrow cites an example where his firm assisted a large tier one bank in transforming their existing operations with IJI’s consulting, coaching, and training services. With its proprietary services, IJI made significant changes in the bank’s existing paradigm, which eventually improved the product delivery of the bank by 35 percent, and the leakage defects were reduced by half. In another client, the firm assisted a Copenhagen-based client, SimCorp during their Agile transformation using SAFe. With SAFe, the entire product division team was speaking a common language using the same concepts which led to better quality and predictability of delivery.
Going forward, the firm will continue to invest in expertise and cutting-edge practices and Frameworks in the Agile space. In this bid, Ivar Jacobson International has collaborated with Jeff Sutherland of Scrum to Essentialize Scrum and Scrum at Scale which makes it easier for users to learn and apply the practices. Since Essence is method-agnostic and helps create a common language between all the Agile disparate practices, it provides an evolutionary path for an organization’s agile program.
