Data-Driven Culture

• Democratise Data - Provide self-service systems so every individual in the company can make data-driven decisions
• Rapidly Experiment at Scale - Give access to the necessary infrastructure and framework for the teams to run experiments at scale. For example, an A/B Testing framework which allows teams to define an experiment and define a statistically significant number of users in a given user cohort, on which an experiment has to run. The framework should ensure that when the experiment is live, the user cannot be part of any other experiment.

Any transformation initiative either big or small requires commitment and strategy for success. The key however is to set realistic expectations based on the investment and the expected outcomes as outlined in the Agile Fluency model above. At Xnsio we believe that a strategy with right expectations built around value driven teams by embedded coaching and mentoring provides greater outcomes over any other form of transformation.

To sustain the initial success and to stay transformed our transformation objectives encompass:

• Creation of Value Driven teams with top down alignment
• Business Engagement
• Enabling internal champions and change agents
• Seed and grow grass root start-up/agile culture
• Scaling and continuously improving

Over the last 15 years, we have helped to deliver mission critical enterprise applications at many Fortune 500 companies like Google, Yahoo, Amazon, HP, Reliance Jio, Siemens Medical, GE Energy, Walmart, EMC, McAfee, Schlumberger, to name a few clients. We've also worked with high velocity growth-stage companies like Cleartrip, Gojek, Hike, Grofers and Media.net.

We are deeply involved in growing a sustainable software community around the world. We've organized over 50 conferences world-wide. We also built and run a SaaS product to manage our conferences. Have a look!

To scratch our personal itch, we have authored/contributed to the following open source projects: Specmatic, Teswiz, Perfiz, Engioscope, C3, Karate, FitNesse, OpAuth, Social Markup Tags, Panopticode, ProTest, Patang, Lattu, FitDecorator, DBFit, QWick & ProFIT. Check out our open source projects.
