Nov21487 Best Agile Transformation Consultation Services Provider - Canada Berriault and Associates Consulting Group is not your average management consulting company. Its goal with clients is to exceed the expected value, and the more challenging the work, the more the company excels. Not only does it focus on the task at hand, but it also ensures there is full ownership to all stakeholders through effective collaboration and planning. Founder, Jeremy Berriault has spent the better part of his professional career looking at new methodologies and management theories and incorporating them into every challenge in front of him. For years, he has seen organisations struggle with implementing change provided by outside training and coaching organisations. Unfortunately, for the most part, the success is short-lived as the organisation will begin to slip back to its old ways and end up back at square one. This all too common scenario causes organisations headaches and creates obstacles towards getting ahead of competition. Jeremy’s approach is to ensure full value is achieved through extensive work with all stakeholders. He has done extensive research on merging technology with the entire of his organisation in order to become more productive, efficient and above all else, more innovative. With Jeremy’s vision and passion for helping others, his company ensures the value it provides will remain with the client organisation after the work is complete. Berriault and Associates Consulting Group has decades of experience with agile delivery covering multiple roles. It understands agile behaviours from analysts to executives and it works with the entire spectrum of delivery from software to marketing, ultimately ensuring success for every client. It works with clients to get past their wants and to get down to their needs. If the actual needs aren’t addressed to remove issues, then nothing will improve. The company conducts interviews and reviews of what needs to be done, along with an analysis which provides information to develop a clear personalised plan for the client to get the value they expect. Berriault and Associates appreciates that every client is different and no two situations are the same. Berriault and Associates believes in putting people first. It believes that there is more to delivering products or services at speed. It believes that there is more to quality than just testing. It believes that there is a direct link between employee job satisfaction and customer satisfaction. It believes each organisation is different, and there is no one way to be adaptive, effective, efficient and innovative. It believes in removing “cargo-cultism” through knowledge sharing and effective coaching. And it believes in using the right tools for the right teams to achieve full value. When it comes to recruiting new staff to join its team, it is all about not wanting to be constrained to one model. Berriault and Associates seeks individuals that want to look outside what is expected and use all the tools available to get work done effectively and efficiently. It never approaches an initiative with a fixed mindset; that only narrows its focus and creates potential missed opportunities to see deep rooted issues. Operating in an industry where in-person contact was the norm for training, assessments and coaching, Berriault and Associates found that COVID-19 took that all away for everyone. Once the lockdowns started, the company managed to make its training format work in a virtual setting by adapting games and activities to have the same outcome as those in a classroom setting. For assessment, it was able to make similar adjustments to complete the visual and interview aspects that were once done onsite. The company also worked with clients on converting areas like Obeya Rooms in the virtual works. Berriault and Associates is now looking head with the aim to continue growing and provide better services to its clients. It now includes other aspects to improve its clients’ transformations by adding workplace mental health initiatives to improve the coaching of teams. This is in addition to strategic initiatives and consulting for senior leadership to better understand what it means to be agile and the value it provides to stakeholders. In 2022, the company wants to expand its team even more to broaden its goals and help multiple industries, outside of software development and marketing.
