There is a gap in the market.
It’s why we started Siven Group.
On one side are software firms, systems integrators, and consultants. They know their solutions and capabilities. They are experts in transformations.
On the other side are companies in transition. They know their business, their mission, their values… all are critical to their market success. They are experts in their value proposition.
The experts on both sides got where they are by being outstanding in their area. But if they can’t partner effectively with one another, processes break down, handoffs and deadlines are dropped, and projects are delayed while teams try to work out “how did we miss this?” It can be very difficult to stop the swirling and reestablish accountability and momentum.
What Siven Group provides has been proven in the field - but until now it has never been packaged such that it can be taught. We believe the power to close the gap between two groups of experts comes from education. We can show you the friction points that cause misunderstandings and miscommunication. We can help you assess whether you have enough of the right talent on your team, and what to do about it. We unite the experts by buiding shared understanding and joint proficiency in delivering transformation.
Partner Wisely, Lead Confidently, Transform at the Speed of Trust
The power lies with YOUR team. We develop your team’s skills and knowledge to level-up for your current transformation and all of the ones to follow.
