We are pleased to announce the new partnership between PMtips and Value Transformation LLC.
Our Gold Sponsor Value Transformation LLC is a company that offers a wide range of solutions to support the growth of organizations. Their services range from consulting and mentoring to consulting and training, from idea generation and product development to manufacturing. They focus on facilitating and cultivating the internal capabilities of their clients’ organizations. Their client portfolio includes many successful companies like Mack, Volvo Trucks, Ford, Chrysler, GM, Harley Davidson, and many more.
The team at Value Transformation has extensive knowledge, expertise and experience in product development, particularly in the automotive and vehicle industries. Their experience is mainly in software, specifically embedded products, and the manufacture of those products.
Training
Value Transformation LLC offers a custom and non-custom training for teams. At the very start of the training process they identify concrete objectives. They realize these objectives by using formative assessment to gauge the present level of skill, and also summative assessment to ascertain the final degree of ability.
Their team has a process driven approach to learning, where they couple the theoretical with real world practices. The training includes games and exercises that help drive the learning. Where applicable, they demonstrate and provide guided practice and directly observe the trainees’ work.
Coaching
Value Transformation provides coaching for managers and key technical staff in specific product management or project management areas. This includes Scrum team development or working on specific projects to grow the talent and improve the outcomes along the way. Their focus does not necessarily need to be project-based and can be functional-based, like the development of the product, testing and verification group. The team at Value Transformation has experience with Scrum for embedded software projects, as well as adaptations to the line management with great increases in efficacy.
Mentoring
The mentoring program at Value Transformation consists of one-on-one sessions with the mentor and the student. The mentors support specific members of their clients’ team and they target their competencies and capabilities while working to improve them. The mentoring can cover a range of topics, which is dissimilar to coaching with a singular focus. The topic areas in the mentoring can range from project management to product management and line management.
Speaking
Value Transformation LLC is available for speaking events on topics related to business, team building, and project and product management. Their team has participated in many events speaking on technical development, organizational development and motivational topics. The decades of experience of the members and their ability to make technical concepts approachable and easily understood, help the audience learn something important while also keeping them entertained.
Consulting
Value Transformation provides consulting on topics like product development, manufacturing, product management, project management, and many more. Consultations can be direct on-site, or remote via telephone, Skype or other media. In either approach, their experienced staff works toward building the clients’ team’s capabilities.
The consulting done by Value Transformation includes engineering and other product development work, done either on-site or off-site. This work can be a subset of the project or a larger part of the development effort. The consulting often consists of on-site work collaborating with the targeted team, along with off-site work focused on developing strategies or performing analyses of data acquired from the organization.
Quick Problem Solving
Quick problem solving is similar to consulting, but it may require a more active role by the Value Transformation staff. This service is usually not strictly scheduled and is subject to necessity when a particular circumstance presents itself. A good example would be specific process failures or product failures for which containment, root cause identification and quick recovery are necessary. Value Transformation can complement your existing team and help determine the root cause of a situation, and propose corrective or mitigating actions.
Value Transformation use their Total Quality Management expertise to help identify the possible sources of the problem. Afterwards, they lead specific A3 or 8D root cause analyses to determine the root cause. This service applies also to product failures, which may be due to environmental contaminants or stimuli. Their team can help explore and understand the nature of the failure to determine the corrective action that will eliminate or remedy the problem.
