Working with me.
More than Agile Coaching.
There are consultants out there who will coach on agile, lean or design thinking but you will still be left with figuring out how to bring them together.
Building successful products requires the best of all three.
I will help you get the most out of agile, design thinking and lean methodologies to build effective product practices and processes into your organisation.
I can work with senior leadership, individual Product Managers and Product Teams to help them overcome specific challenges.
This can take the form of teaching new techniques, introducing new process, frameworks or tools and most importantly cultivating a product-mindset.
Working with Execs.
A recent survey done by Product Management Festival found that ‘Competing Priorities’, ‘Lack of role clarity’ and ‘Not being able to influence management’ as 3 of the top 5 issues faced by Product Managers.
These are systematic and often in my experience working with many different companies they need to be affected from the top.
This is why I often work with senior leadership and execs on educating them on what good Product Management looks like and how it can help them achieve better outcomes.
My leadership experience from the Royal Military College has given me a unique skills in regards to working with senior leadership.
It has laid the foundations for any coaching I do with with executives. Whether that be educating them on Product Management best practices, helping them to truly empower Product Teams or even create company-wide prioritisation and strategic alignment.
Product-led transformation.
Over 70% of respondents in a recent survey by 280 Group stated that profits would increase by 20-40% if Product Management was fully optimized at their company.
Leveraging the power of Product Management is something that has seen the rise of the biggest companies in the world today, from Facebook to Google.
Now more companies are seeing the benefits of also adopting a similar approach.
I’ve now helped several companies become more Product-led. To put their customers and products at the centre of everything they do.
More than a consultant, I will not give you a cookie-cutter framework or process. I will work with you to understand your unique context and tailor any tools, processes and frameworks to your company.
As a coach, I will help upskill you, your teams and executives to truly become Product-led and make the transformation long-lasting.
“I had the pleasure of working closely with Ant for two years as we scaled the Product Team at Soul Machines, introducing a Product Led mindset into the business.
Having Ant embedded directly in the team as our in-house Product Delivery coach, I had first-hand experience of witnessing him in action and reaping the benefit of his hands-on team support over a sustained period.
Building a successful Product Team here has been a challenge that we owe huge gratitude to Ant for enabling.
Ant is, without a doubt, an exceptional Product Leader with a wide range of expertise. His wealth of knowledge and appetite for listening and learning are endless. All of which makes it even more impressive that he is a thoroughly decent person. I can’t speak highly enough of him. I look forward to the next opportunity we have to collaborate.”
