Consulting and Training
Cutter Consortium offers advice and guidance from world-renowned consultants. The Consortium features a faculty whose expertise and credentials are unmatched by any other service provider. Moreover, unlike many other consulting firms that use senior partners to sell a job but then assign junior staff to actually perform the work at the customer's site, Cutter has no junior staff and deploys only its expert Senior Consultants, Fellows, and Technical Coaches on every assignment. Cutter's experts have considerable management, technical, and domain-specific experience assisting Fortune 500 and other organizations with everything from IT strategic planning and organizational development to enterprise architecture, program management, data management strategies, benchmarking and measurement, and more. The Consortium's great strength is that it can draw on its more than 150 best-in-class consultants to assemble the ideal team to help your organization tackle any challenge that might arise, offering a complete solution from assessment through implementation.
Inquiry Privileges
Cutter's Access to the Experts inquiry program, available to Cutter Consortium Enterprise Suite clients, provides astute analysis and advice directly from Cutter's renowned experts. Every single inquiry is fielded by a Cutter Senior Consultant, Fellow, or Faculty member with hands-on experience addressing IT challenges at enterprises and organizations worldwide. You get insightful and tested answers to your questions, unlike those you'd get in any other inquiry program.
Consulting
Cutter's more than 150 Senior Consultants have deep experience providing consulting assistance to organizations worldwide. From Agile Enablement assessments to developing an appropriate enterprise architecture plan, from benchmarking your software development processes to determining a strategy for implementing business performance management dashboards for executives, from working with your IT strategic planning committee to conducting due diligence on a potential outsourcing partner, and more, Cutter's subject- and domain-area expertise is unparalleled.
Workshops and Training
Our extensive curriculum of more than 60 in-house workshops can be customized to meet your organization's needs. Cutter Consortium's in-house workshops are both developed and presented by its Senior Consultants: you'll benefit from cutting-edge ideas, methods, and strategies presented by the thought leaders who developed them. If your organization is looking to introduce new methodologies or processes, Cutter's workshops are a great way to ensure everyone shares the same base knowledge and is well-equipped to take on the challenges of new ways of doing business. Our training offerings run the gamut from more technical programs like test-driven development and extreme programming to developing skills for successfully managing agile projects, and programs that help you develop the next generation of leaders in your organization.
Team Coaching and Facilitation
Cutter Consortium offers expert coaching and facilitation services. Our technical coaches are seasoned, hands-on experts: they work in your organization to ensure that newly adopted skills, from XP to agile project management, become ingrained in your culture. They also serve as expert members of your team, contributing to the output of your organization. Coaching can be critical to the success of any methodology change initiative. Cutter's expert facilitators bring a positive perspective to project chartering sessions, project post-mortems, and other potentially contentious meetings or discussions, guiding groups toward consent as they help teams gel.
