Building a Profitable Software Development Business - Series

Description

Hello Folks, I understand that your time is valuable, and making decisions about where to invest it can be a thoughtful process.

This series of courses are being created in recognition of a significant gap in learning resources tailored specifically to the learning needs of

• Leaders within the software industry, particularly those with limited or no exposure to the software delivery function,

• Career-minded professionals aspiring to secure delivery leadership positions

• Individuals considering a career pivot

• Organizations that are eager to groom their workforce for leadership roles

• Entrepreneurs who want to hit the ground running without reinventing the wheel.

Essentially, anyone who is accountable, either directly, like a delivery head or an entrepreneur, or indirectly, like a business owner or a CEO, for the delivery of software development services.

Here's what makes this series special: It's not just about learning; it's about transformation.

This series is designed to equip you with the knowledge and skills needed to effectively manage a high-performance organization at the senior leadership level, specifically in the realm of software development services.

The emphasis is on enhancing "Software Delivery Management Capability" at the organizational level, especially within senior leadership.

Perhaps you find yourself in one of the following scenarios:

• You're constantly firefighting and have no time to focus on growing your business.

• Your company's performance lags behind industry norms in key metrics such as gross margin, operating profit, revenue per employee, and customer satisfaction.

• Challenges in scaling up due to unpredictable delivery schedules, cost, and quality are hindering your growth. Your customers frequently complain about poor delivery quality, numerous defects, missed deadlines, subpar customer experience, and low referenceability, resulting in a lack of repeat business.

• You're the owner of a small software company overseeing all organizational functions, including delivery, despite having no grounding in software delivery.

• You're transitioning to a leadership position with P&L responsibility but lack a background in software delivery and feel the need to learn effective management of the delivery function.

• You're concerned about optimizing your delivery operations for better cost savings.

• You fear that not having a proficient software delivery team will hinder your ability to start a successful business or worry about the risk of damaging your reputation before it's even created, potentially losing potential business.

• You're an entrepreneur seeking to learn industry best practices and gain insights from others' experiences before launching your own business.
