Successful Management Through Transparency, Collaboration & Agility
A Different Approach
At Cliste Solutions, we know you have worked hard to build your business, and that your domain knowledge and vision are a vital part of your current success and future growth. So we won’t tell you to change your corporate culture or anything else that makes your business an amazingly unique enterprise.
At Cliste Solutions, our model is one of transparency and best practices. We will assess and coach your teams through the value of transparency and breeding a truly remarkable and respected management organization. We get hands-on too, so we will also work closely with your team to enable success at all levels, and help build and evangelize YOUR culture.
Serving Your Business
We primarily serve technology companies, however our approaches apply to any industry and domain. While we advocate best practices, our approach is based on the understanding that there is no such thing as a one-size-fits-all solution. We treat all of our clients as individuals, and will help you develop a solution to your unique business and environment.
Agile is at our core, so of course you’ll hear a lot about Agile from us.
Diversity & Agility
Because of our experience in a wide variety of industries, we are able bring diversity to our solutions, and our clients benefit from that. We have seen what works in many industries and have extrapolated our successes into a modeled approach.
We believe in honoring the unique personalities, culture and domain experts that have grown your business. With that in mind, we work closely with your leadership team and individual contributors to drive efficiency into your organization through process, organizational development, transparent management. Some change isn’t easy, and we help you look at the bigger picture, objectively.
We take an agile approach to developing solutions because as your business, products and people change and grow, you must adapt and scale to the change. This might require updating or completely overhauling your processes and sometimes your people. We help you get there by delivering incremental value..
WHAT WE DO
We provide engineering and management consulting services with an expertise in management of software & hardware development, and systems design. We have come up through the ranks, so we can honestly say we understand both development and management equally well.
Our offerings go well beyond engineering process development. At Cliste, we understand engineering management, organizational development and most importantly, people. The Cliste approach brings all of this together as we collaborate closely with our clients at all levels of the organization.
The Cliste approach means working smart with our clients to analyze, characterize, improve, measure, and respond – using transparent and collaborative management techniques. This applies to process improvements, partial or complete organization restructures, digital transformations and outsourced development options.
Our greatest value to you is working directly with individual contributors and managers in an intimate setting to help you solve problems. We want to understand your challenges and enable your success, whether it is improving process, people or structure.
We have made a number of mistakes throughout our careers, and our clients benefit from our history of ‘learning opportunities’.
We work with you to collectively evaluate, define and implement a solution that makes sense. We rely on your domain expertise and our experience with past successes to get you there. We are confident we will guide you in a direction that we know works.
Once implemented, we will work with you, hands-on, to monitor the implementation, and teach you to continually inspect & adapt to an environment that is bound to change as your business grows.
