HI THERE. WE’RE AGILEXTENDED (AX)

Starting a new venture is thrilling and challenging! Are you ready to take your incredible vision and make it a reality?

At AgileXtended (AX), we’re here to help you navigate the complexities of your growth journey. We understand that every step you take is crucial and has a cost, in time, energy and other valuable resources. Our innovative solutions are designed to keep you in the game by expanding the field of options and by making decisions that contribute to learning and further opportunities.  

As a recent start-up and now in the scale-up journey, we’re right there with you. Our recommendations are grounded in our shared reality.  

We're your sensemakers, your sounding board, your collaborators for “how else could we…” to realize the potential of your vision.

FOR START UPS

DISCOVERY

Let’s start by refining the core problem you’re solving, that spark that started you on this journey. We’ll help explore the problem space, articulating the pain points for your potential customers and the constraints of your target market. Then we’ll align them with effective solutions. This will bolster your ability to make a splash in your market.

  • Gain greater shared understanding of your business challenges and your approach for addressing them

  • Create an impact map that explicitly visualizes the connection between your vision and your current activities and experiments

  • Contextual awareness workshop to surface assumptions and integrating “how else could we…” approach

Imagine being able to show exactly what problem your startup solves for customers and having a clear plan to address it. That’s the power of our Discovery Workshop.

INCLUSIVE DESIGN

We believe in designing solutions that are inclusive and accessible. This means creating products and services that meet the identified needs and unarticulated wants of all users, ensuring no one is left behind. Inclusive design helps you reach a broader market, now and later.

  • Develop products that are not only functional but also delightful and easy to use for everyone

  • By designing inclusively, you open your market to a wider audience.

  • Human-Centered Design workshops that deliver actionable intelligence to surface your assumptions and shape your approaches

  • Cultural awareness audits to ensure your message and your value translates effectively for all customer personas

OPTIMIZE YOUR INTERACTIONS

Imagine a world where your stakeholders are engaged and your team works seamlessly together, with every member knowing exactly what to do and when, and your customers receive timely, personalized responses that make them feel valued. That’s what optimized interactions look like, whether they’re in the form of conversations, meetings, presentations, or working sessions.

  • Enhance team collaboration and co-creation with innovative techniques and clear processes

  • Design and deliver experiential sessions that generate insightful feedback from customers and stakeholders

  • Tell the story of your product or service with greater resonance and buy-in

BUILD BY LEARNING

The start-up journey is one of insightful leaps and curve balls. How could you incorporate the latest perspectives so that your product reflects the most current state?

  • Visually refine strategies and approaches based on real-world feedback and outcomes for shared understanding and alignment

  • Integrate practical experiences and lessons learned into the work deliverables

FOR SCALE UPS

Congratulations! You’ve defied the odds (and the occasional naysayers) and established that your vision is more than a dream; it’s a reality with customers and advocates. How do you continue this journey? What changes (including maybe you), and what stays the same?

ADAPTIVE PLANNING

Picture yourself (no longer a startup) navigating a fast-paced business environment with ease, adapting to new challenges, and seizing opportunities as they arise. Adaptive planning keeps you agile and prepared for anything including changing roles and adding more people.

Our techniques help you build a responsive organization that can quickly respond to changes in the market. Whether it’s through agile risk management or continuous validation of your product development, you’ll be better equipped to handle uncertainties and pivot when necessary.

  • Iterative processes that incorporate  market changes and customer feedback

  • Strategies that support long-term growth and sustainability

TEAM BUILDING

We blend the principles of improvisation with agile practices to create a flexible, adaptive approach to business challenges. Imagine your team working together like a well-rehearsed jazz band, where every member listens, responds, and contributes to create something greater than the sum of its parts.

  • Teams that work well together and are highly productive

  • A culture that supports collaboration and continuous improvement, setting strong foundations

This approach not only boosts creativity, but it also enhances collaboration and problem-solving skills, an essential for startups where innovation is key.

ALIGNED LEADERSHIP

We partner with your leadership team to align their goals and strategies with your company’s mission while also adapting to new roles and challenges. We help leaders grow their own skill sets, bring in fresh talent, and establish structures for success.

  • Cultivate a leadership that is unified in its vision and approach, both as a team and with everyone else

  • Develop a new playbook for the current circumstances, including establishing (new) norms for decision-making 

  • Leverage our expertise in leadership coaching and conflict resolution, as needed

Our focus is on creating a cohesive team that makes informed decisions, moves together toward your vision, and stays agile in a changing environment. Aligned leadership is a driver for continued adaptation and growth.

ACCESSIBLE DELIVERY

We believe that accessible delivery means more than just complying with standards. It’s about creating meaningful and inclusive experiences for every customer. Our service helps scale-ups achieve this by integrating accessibility into the core of their customer interactions.

We imagine and implement innovative ways to make your products and services more accessible, ensuring everyone can effortlessly interact with and benefit from your value proposition.

  • Ensure effective launch and avoid negative first impressions with our Accessibility Audits

  • Support those with disabilities via written materials that meet Section 508 requirements

  • Optimize for human-centered design throughout the entire customer experience
