Best Digital Transformation Consultancy 2024 — The Netty Awards

Drive efficiency and innovation across your entire organization

The annual cost to businesses due to highly coupled delivery processes is truly massive, with a typical 400-person-strong department or organization losing around $30m per year just on the salary costs of people waiting on other people due to dependencies; even before considering things like cost of delay, rework, staff attrition, and process overhead.

“There's a huge amount of value to unlock here by switching to a fast flow way of working, and delivering a shorter time-to-value.”
— Matthew Skelton, CEO of Conflux

“The way that the Conflux crew used their Active Knowledge Diffusion approach to seek out and champion good practices was a real revelation to us at TELUS and helped to shift thinking around how we innovate and share successes.”

— Steven Tannock, Director, Architecture (Platform Technology & Tools) at TELUS Digital
