Agile and Cultural Change
Moving to Agility is in fact a cultural change. Every organization has an existing culture; this existing culture is seldom intentionally designed from the start. Instead, various forces shape the culture over time. Often these forces are unmanaged. The result is a culture that is not aligned with the goals and objectives of the business. Agile aligns teams with business goals and objectives. This is usually an interesting process. We provide Agile coaching and training that encourages greatness in teams and their organizations.
The Story of New Technology Solutions
NewTech started life in 1993 as a company devoted to training and consulting in Microsoft platforms and tools. The company founder, Dan Mezick, has a technical background that includes several software patents. NewTech started organizing user groups in Connecticut and as a result of this community work, caught the attention of Microsoft. Dan worked closely with Microsoft from 1993 to 2002 creating Microsoft Developer Days, an annual “by developers, for developers” event held in 131 cities worldwide.
NewTech successfully organized and ran these events in 2 of the 9 original venues, Hartford and Boston, attracting up to 600 attendees per event. Dan Mezick himself has personally delivered consulting and training to over 70,000 individuals spanning a period of almost 20 years.
