They have trusted us
I hired Aktia to help us with our digital product discovery process. Gerard not only grasps the intricacies of digital product discovery but also has a comprehensive toolbox of practical skills and a repertoire of useful frameworks. This combination of theoretical knowledge and practical application significantly helped me developing a product oriented vision.
If you're seeking a consultant who can demystify the digital product discovery process, navigate the complexities of a big company, and bring a wealth of valuable tools and frameworks to the table, Gerard is undoubtedly the professional you should engage.
Before engaging with Aktia Solutions, we were lost in the vastness of the cloud realm.
Their team swiftly and proficiently helped us define a clear product strategy. With their guidance, we transitioned from uncertainty to a tangible MVP, a comprehensive product roadmap, and a solid business case.
In just 9 months, we went from mere ideas to a competitive product in the market.
Collaborating with Aktia Solutions was the catalyst our project needed. Their expertise is simply unmatched.
We started our transformation journey with Aktia with the goal of improving the adoption of best in class agile methods for our software platform teams. It rapidly became clear to us that we could benefit from extending the scope of action to include our product management and discovery processes.
ABB Robotics was suffering from a growth problem. What used to work when we were just a few people was no longer efficient for a bigger organization. Structure and processes where required to help the business achieve it’s strategic goals.
Aktia Solutions’ Agile Coach accompanied us from the beginning with a first assessment phase deeply embedded into our teams day to day that then led to a transformation plan, which included a team reorganization as well as new practices and processes.
The quality of their assessment and diversity of profiles led us to incorporate interim Product Owners to the newly formed teams to facilitate the transition into our new way of working.
This brought calm and method to both our product and development teams. At the time of writing these lines we are now extending our partnership to review our product strategy and discovery phases which is becoming critical now that our development teams are running at full speed.
What we appreciate the most with Aktia is that even though they have their own programs and methods their involvement with the teams on a daily basis showed their ability to adapt to our context and challenges to make sure that whatever they recommended would lead to tangible results with immediate impact on our activity.
Their diversity of profiles, their capacity to adapt and deal with our challenging industry as well as their knowledge of what best practices might make the biggest short term impact will benefit any organization wishing to get the most out of their product teams.
AutomaticTV is a Mediapro Group product that emerged from technical innovation and the most advanced technology, and as such, the dynamics and methodology for business exploration and product definition were not well structured, leading to decision-making that was not based on data and prioritization based on technological innovation.
With the help of Aktia Solutions we have been able to review the product definition process, our value proposition to the market and create a new vision that is much more aligned with the needs of the market. In addition to being able to execute the plan to carry out this new vision until the launch of a new product on the market.
In addition to the new business strategy and the creation of a new product, they have accompanied us in the different stages of creation until its launch on the market, leaving a new way of working, with a formal process for the product and business team.
These changes have been made visible both in a greater alignment of the business and product team and in transmitting this vision to the rest of the organization and the stakeholders.
Finally, it should be noted that this process has also involved growth for the people on the team, helping to consolidate knowledge and mature in the execution of their responsibilities.
