Several of my clients want to use some sort of maturity assessment for their agile transformations. Often, the maturity levels demand adherence to specific practices or processes. Some of those practices and processes work for my clients now. (I'm not so sure about others.). As my clients evolve, will what they do now continue to work in the future?

If the receptionist shares an idea and the CEO shares the exact same idea, more people will take the idea seriously when it comes from the CEO.

This presents a problem for firms even in normal times: Clients are far less likely to turn to consulting firms for support if it’s not clear that it’s going to be money well spent.
