The Peak Consultancy
The Agility Experts
Our Services
Enterprise Agility
We live and breathe enterprise agility: we have specialist consultants and coaches who work at all levels of the organisation, from the board to individual teams and employees.
Enterprise: Taking a holistic view of the whole organisation and tackling real constraints rather than just optimising one area. Optimising locally can be great, but trying to improve an enterprise like this it is like trying to solve a traffic jam by upgrading one car in the middle.
Agility: Agility is not some dark magic or following a specific framework: it is about learning how to optimise ways of working and being able to respond rapidly as the world changes around us.
In short, we can help you adopt the agile mindset that makes many of the world's most successful companies (Apple, Netflix, Amazon, NVidia, Berkshire Hathaway, Sony, IBM and many others) what they are*.

Consultancy
We take a different view of consultancy to many. We see our goal is to give you the ability to achieve your goals, then move on.
Our specialist area is increasing organisational performance through showing you how to focus on what is important and minimise work on low value waste. So, if you are struggling to see the wood for the trees, or there is part of your organisation that just cannot perform as you need, we can help.
Skills Development
Build the skills your organisation needs for long-term, sustained improvement.
Whether it is targeted training to help implement a change plan we have developed together, or coaching and mentoring to build leadership skills and agile thinking, we will help you get the very best out of your organisation.
Proven Enterprise Agility (ProvenEA) Toolkit
We have developed the Proven Enterprise Agility Toolkit, ProvenEATM, to bring together a wide range of tools, techniques and practices that we have found useful in enterprise agility.
It forms the core of all consulting work we take on, and we continue adding to it as we discover new things. We will train your teams in the relevant tools and, because we have published PROVEN EA under a Creative Commons licence, you will be free to carry on using them long after we have left.
Software Delivery
Whether you are developing a system in its entirety, looking for support with helping existing teams work better or simply wanting to make better use of the tooling you have, we are here to help.
Our consultants have decades of experience building software and leading software development in many different environments: in house development, sole supplier, leading consortiums and even "client side", working with clients who have engaged with large partners and need support in managing them.
This experience has been gained in a mix of public and private sector work so our extensive experience of industry-wide good practice is backed up with specific knowledge of heavily regulated environments including pharmaceuticals, criminal records systems, NHS medical systems and finance, and of leading delivery in frameworks such as the government's GDS.
Whatever your software delivery needs are, we are here to help.
Delivery Leadership
Effective software development leadership is paramount for achieving project success.
From project inception to delivery, we can provide strategic direction, resource management, and risk mitigation strategies to keep your development initiatives on track and aligned with your business objectives.
Software Design & Development
Successful software development begins a long way before cutting code.
Whether you are launching a new product, upgrading existing systems, or scaling your operations, we are here to guide you every step of the way, ensuring that your software delivery initiatives drive value and propel your business forward.
Tooling as a Service
Most technology companies use work management tools, but these need expertise to configure well and team functionality often gets sacrificed for ease of support.
Our Tooling as a Service capability can handle this for you - our agile consultants have been configuring and supporting Jira, Azure DevOps and similar tools in highly complex environments for over twenty years so we can both meet your teams' needs AND support Jira for you.
