Approach
Diagnose. Design.
Build. Leave.
Engagements run in four phases. The phases overlap, and the team that diagnoses is the team that builds — so nothing gets lost in translation between strategy decks and the people who have to operate the result.
Phase 01
Diagnose
Two to four weeks. We read the work — tickets, deployments, calendars, data flows — and pair with the people doing it. We leave with a baseline, a hypothesis and a one-page case for change.
Deliverables
- Baseline metrics pack
- Operating model heatmap
- Sequenced bet list
Phase 02
Design
Six to ten weeks. We co-design the new model with your leaders — team topology, funding, rituals, tooling — and prove it on a single value stream before scaling.
Deliverables
- Target operating model
- Funding & investment model
- Pilot value-stream plan
Phase 03
Build in residence
Three to nine months. Slalom engineers and operators sit inside Fugro's teams — building the platform, the automations, the data products, the product practice — alongside your people, not instead of them.
Deliverables
- Working platform / service / automation
- Playbooks owned by Fugro
- Live KPI dashboards
Phase 04
Hand over the muscle
Four to eight weeks. We taper out, your leaders taper in. The exit criteria are written on day one and signed off by Fugro's CIO — not by us.
Deliverables
- Capability handover plan
- Independent benefits audit
- 30/60/90 leadership coaching
A note on team shape
Senior, small, in the work.
A typical Slalom team for Fugro is five to twelve people: an account principal, two to four senior practitioners, and the engineers, designers or product leads the work needs. We don't run analyst pyramids, and we don't bill for time spent making slides about the time we spent.
