Consulting services that drive impact

Reliably deliver quality software that delights customers while continuously improving — without the need for ongoing consulting.

High-performance software teams have never been more important, yet so challenging to build.

  • Moving quickly is challenging.
  • Innovating is challenging.
  • Shipping with quality is challenging.
  • Scaling is challenging.
  • Controlling costs is challenging.
  • Security, privacy and compliance are challenging.

Something needs to change.

Struggling to ship software products without the right people, processes and tools costs time and money — both of which are in short supply.

  • Software products are late
  • Problems with product-market fit
  • Competition is innovating faster
  • Complaints about bugs and poor performance
  • Security and privacy concerns
  • Lack of compliance with industry standards
  • Team members not engaged
  • Product costs are too high

Over 20 years of experience in leadership
and software development roles.

Jeremy Bower

When I started my career as a software developer, I joined startups so that I could move quickly with others and invent the future. While we had many successes (two of the startups were acquired), there were also challenges.

I shifted to leadership roles to support teams as they move past these challenges. For over a decade, I focused on learning about the people, processes and tools that enable software teams to perform at a high-level.

Today, I consult with organizations to build high-performance software teams that delight customers by quickly and reliably shipping quality products.

VP Data Science

"Jeremy is an exceptional technical leader and working with him was a great experience. He is focused and methodical with deep strategic and tactical skills. Jeremy's positive and results oriented attitude allowed him to lead an exceptionally productive team as we collaborated on an innovative fintech app with intrinsically many unknowns. It was a pleasure working with Jeremy and I picked up a lot of organizational and leadership skills from him. I hope we get to work together in the future."

Senior Software Engineer

"Jeremy is that rare combination: one who is talented at the craft of software development itself, as well as the art of leading software developers. You don't often get to work with one who's quite so good at either of those things, much less both."

Let's build high-performance
software teams.

We'll work together in four phases to discover, direct, plan and implement.

These phases form a loop. With each cycle, the teams become happier, more innovative and more impactful.

Diagram showing phases: Discover, Direct, Plan, Implement

Phase 1: Discover

  • Discuss goals, challenges, products, workflows and technologies
  • Identify what's needed to enable high-performance software teams
  • Define objectives and key results
  • Create a roadmap for transformative change

Phase 2: Direct

  • Direct each team to make meaningful, measurable progress in 3 months or less

Phase 3: Plan

  • Teams select the next target condition of the product
  • Teams identify the resources and workflows they need
  • Each team member builds a sense of ownership and accountability

Phase 4: Implement

  • Teams focus on delivering results
  • Teams use a scientific approach that allows them to learn and overcome challenges
  • Teams make progress towards the next target condition of the product — and ultimately towards the business goal

Results

At the end of an iteration, the product will be in a new condition or the teams will have gained valuable insights. The cycle repeats.

Over time, teams learn to continuously improve and innovate. They no longer need ongoing consulting.
