Specialized support
Sometimes, the right kind of outside support accelerates improvements and prevents costly detours.
Each of the following targeted services is designed for exactly that and delivered personally by Gil Broza: leadership advisory; a second opinion on your value delivery system; align leadership on what to optimize for; design your agile way of working; structure big conversations; adopt Agile in a non-software team.
Leadership advisory for transforming value delivery
Do you need to transform value delivery, but figuring it out alone is too risky?
Prevent costly missteps, move faster, and lead with confidence — all with expert backup just a call away.
Work personally with Gil Broza, author of Deliver Better Results, for clarity, expertise, and an independent perspective. Whether you’re tackling strategy, process, or org design, Gil will help you think through your options, avoid common traps, and make stronger decisions.
It’s your choice whether to meet on demand or on a regular cadence, alone or with colleagues. You also choose the format: advice, coaching, or just a sounding board.
This isn’t executive, leadership, or Agile coaching. It’s laser-focused on optimizing your efforts to level up your technology organization.
Sessions are 30, 45, or 60 minutes, scheduled as needed (at least a day in advance; urgent ones may be booked on shorter notice, subject to availability). You commit to 6 or 9 months, for one or more sessions per month, with an option to renew.
This setup maximizes the value to you:
- Get guidance when you need it, not just in prescheduled meetings.
- Receive advice specific to your context, not generic theory.
- Have a safe space to test ideas and raise concerns you can’t share internally.
- Get high-leverage input in a cost-efficient format.
“Gil provides us with clarity and strategic guidance when we face significant questions: Is this project adequately defined? Is there an optimal approach to structuring the work for this particular initiative? Are we prioritizing project completion or merely keeping ourselves busy? Our series of carefully chosen sessions with Gil have enabled my team and me to gradually transform our way of working.”
– G. F., Director of R&D

A second opinion on your value delivery system
Are you planning a deep shift, such as adopting a product operating model, un-stalling a transformation, or moving toward real agility? Or simply trying to make your current setup deliver better?
Before you invest a lot of time, effort, and money, it’s worth getting a second opinion on what’s really going on and what to do next.
In just a few days, we’ll assess your entire value delivery system, considering both the current state and your desired outcomes in your specific business context. We’ll examine such aspects as:
- Leadership behaviors and management practices
- Team dynamics and cross-functional collaboration
- Ways of working from idea to delivery
- Culture and psychological safety
- Technical practices and delivery rhythms
We don’t assess compliance with frameworks. Rather, we look at how your people’s choices support effective product delivery — and what’s getting in the way. This service doesn’t take more than an hour of any one person’s time.
You’ll receive a efficient, customized roadmap of high-value actions to achieve your improvement goals. We’ll identify key challenges and propose mitigation strategies. Within a couple of days of finishing our discovery, you’ll have clarity on your next steps.
We continue the engagement through follow-up conversations to help you co-create your action plan and prepare for implementation.
“We asked Gil to help us figure out how our talented, passionate team could become a cohesive unit. He only spent two days with us, but people were blown away by how spot-on his observations were, and how he made people very comfortable discussing even the most uncomfortable topics. Using his findings and recommendations, we are now working collaboratively on putting together a roadmap to becoming a better, more effective Agile team. This engagement was well worth the investment!”
– Andrei Cornienco, VP Software Engineering & Infrastructure, Pethealth

Align leadership on what to optimize work systems for
Are key business outcomes still lagging, even though your teams have a clear mission, solid goals, and strong alignment?
What you’re likely missing is an intentional, explicit organizational mindset: the strategy for doing work. More precisely, it’s what the work systems are designed to optimize for (values), and the reasoning behind that (beliefs). For example, are you prioritizing quality over speed? autonomy over control? predictability over adaptation?
If an organization’s mindset is implicit or inconsistent, people make conflicting choices even when they agree on the goals. Result: slow progress, frustrated teams and leaders, stalled change efforts.
Fix that with our two-hour facilitated workshop. Through guided discussion, the leadership team will surface diverse perspectives, constraints, and concerns. Together, they’ll define a clear set of values and beliefs they’re committed to — and ready to align the organization around. Along the way, the team will deepen their trust and increase their sense of shared responsibility.

Design your agile way of working
You’re leading a complex, high-stakes initiative. Agile is the right strategy for it, but a generic framework or a patchwork of “best practices” won’t do.
Instead, work with us to design a way of working that fits your goals, people, and constraints. Together with the key players, we’ll shape a suitable process, effective team structure, and context-relevant practices. We’ll also help lead a strong, high-energy kickoff to start the new approach with clarity and excitement.
If you want a way of working that’s truly agile — flexible, impactful, human — let’s talk.

Structure big conversations
When important decisions need to be made, most organizations gather senior leaders. But innovation, ownership, and follow-through come when you actively involve front-line leaders and teams and the event is designed for real collaboration.
Such events — whether you’re roadmapping a new initiative, reflecting on recent developments, or redesigning key processes — vary widely. Getting them right takes careful preparation.
Done well, they create alignment, commitment, and excitement, in one day or less.
Done poorly, they waste time, breed cynicism, and set back the culture.
We’ll work with you to design a successful event with a clear purpose, effective agenda, concrete deliverables, and thoughtful activities. And if you want a steady hand to lead it — such events require experienced, neutral facilitators — we’ll facilitate it ourselves.
“As the organizer of a three-day milestone event for our company, one of my best decisions was to have Gil facilitate a substantial portion of it and coach me through the rest of it. Thank you for helping us build the foundation for reaching our next level, and making it easier to continue this interaction throughout the year even if it is over Zoom.”
– Rod Recker, Product Management and Engineering Director, Twinmotion (an Epic company)

Adopt Agile in a non-software team
You lead a non-software team, such as marketing, HR, R&D, or infrastructure. You want your team to focus on value, work more collaboratively, and adapt faster. But everything you’ve seen in Agile looks like it’s made for software teams — so how do you start?
The truth is, Agile can be a game-changer if it’s adapted to your kind of work, but many popular practices and frameworks weren’t designed for it. And forcing them on your team can backfire.
That’s where we come in. Without requiring a major time investment, we’ll help you design and adopt a way of working that fits your mission, work, and team dynamics. No tech jargon, no copy-paste practices, no forced rituals. Just practical, sustainable improvements to how your team plans, collaborates, and delivers value.
We’ve helped teams in marketing, finance, IT infrastructure services, HR, plastics R&D, architecture and design, media digitization — even TV show development — adopt better ways of working. The results? Less waste, greater responsiveness, more teamwork, and better flow.
