The organisation that was ready for its new leader
A fintech business had just secured private equity funding and been set an aggressive growth target. The funding was not the problem. The organisation underneath it was.

"If a new senior leader joined your organisation tomorrow, would they be stepping into a team that's ready to scale, or one they would have to fix first?"
Challenge
A fintech business had just secured private equity funding and been set an aggressive growth target. The funding was not the problem. The organisation underneath it was. The existing team was underperforming, and a new CTO was about to arrive. The obvious risk was a strong new leader walking into a structure that could not support the growth the investors were expecting.
What we did
Quantum of Value worked directly with the CEO, COO and HR Director on organisational design and capability building, and led the shift to Agile ways of working across development, operations and sales, so the whole business was moving in one direction rather than three separate ones. The teams were coached as they embedded the new ways of working, not handed a framework and left to work it out alone.
What happened next
By the time the new CTO arrived, they were not inheriting a rebuild. They were stepping into a more professional organisation already in motion, built to take the growth the investment was funding rather than buckle under it.
