From Feature Factory to Innovation Hub

Most digital transformations are a farce.

Companies go through the motions but don’t really change the way they or their employees work.

What you usually find is:

  • Quick Fixes
  • Merely Changing Titles
  • One Size Fits All Copy-Paste
  • Focusing on the Tools and Processes

But moving from the feature factory is not just about the surface level.

Realistically, this process can take ~3 years if you go from one end to the other.

Ready to actually break out of the feature factory?

I collaborated with Paweł Huryn 🇺🇦 and even talked to Marty Cagan to break it down in this deep-dive.

You need to drive:

  • Mindset shift
  • Empowered teams
  • Outcomes over output
  • Cultural change up to the CEO

Too many banks or healthcare companies set up a digital transformation office, hire some scrum master & agile coaches, & then expect magic.

The reality is we need to invest in our product management, design & engineering departments more than ever, & be patient with the results.
