Conflux Wins ‘Best Digital Transformation Consulting’ Category At The Netty Awards

LEEDS, UK. October 16th, 2024 - Conflux, a pioneer in organizational transformation, has been named the winner in the "Best Digital Transformation Consulting" category at the prestigious Netty Awards 2024. 

This accolade recognizes Conflux's innovative accelerators and Adapt Together™️ approach, highlighting their significant impact on the digital transformation landscape. The company's ability to deliver tangible ROI within months and its focus on both short-term efficiency and long-term strategic vision set Conflux apart in this particularly competitive category.

Matthew Skelton, CEO of Conflux, and co-author of the influential book ‘Team Topologies’, said: "We're honored to be recognized for our commitment to fostering thriving organizations, delivering at speed."

The judges were particularly impressed by Conflux’s ability to unlock millions in value annually, and dramatically improve time-to-value through their innovative solutions in Strategic Roadmapping, IT/Engineering Optimization, and Business-IT Alignment. The annual cost to businesses due to highly coupled delivery processes is truly massive, with a typical 400-person-strong department or organization losing around $30m per year just on the salary costs of people waiting on other people due to dependencies; even before considering things like cost of delay, rework, staff attrition, and process overhead.

Matthew Skelton added: “There's a huge amount of value to unlock here by switching to a fast flow way of working, and delivering a shorter time-to-value.”

With $8.9 trillion annually lost in GDP due to low engagement, according to Gallup, staff engagement is key in helping the practical bottom-line results for every organization. Conflux helps its customers to increase staff engagement via activating communities of advocates and champions across the organization. 

Conflux also helps leaders and managers increase alignment, both within IT and between IT and the business. LSA Global recently looked at 410 companies across a range of industries, finding highly aligned companies were growing revenue 58% faster, and were 72% more profitable than their less aligned competitors. Customer satisfaction was also much higher, and employee engagement levels were 16 times higher than in organizations with low alignment. 

Conflux doesn't just consult on digital transformation - it catalyzes it. Their approach empowers teams to be engaged and aligned for innovation, accelerating progress, trust, and engagement across departments.

The Netty award coincides with the release of Conflux’s Organizational Effectiveness and Alignment benchmarking tool at confluxhq.com/benchmark, which helps organizations assess their alignment with fast flow in IT/digital delivery, software services, innovation, and knowledge work in general. This rapid assessment helps busy CIOs and CTOs to qualify the need for alignment and fast flow to answer the age-old question from CEOs and CFOs alike of how to make things quicker and cheaper.

Thomas Gibbs, Director of Operations at Publish Interactive said: “The input we’ve had from Conflux has been great. It’s really helped us to develop a clearer picture of where we’re heading with both technology and teams. I think we’ve managed to jump over some of the potential pitfalls in moving to cloud thanks to the sessions from Matthew and the team at Conflux.”

This award cements Conflux’s pivotal role in advancing the digital transformation landscape by championing flow-centric, team-first, digitally-enabled ways of working. The company has a bright future in producing highly effective, efficient, and humane work environments, and helping to create thriving organizations, delivering at speed.
