Announcing Modus Cooperandi

26 years ago I started my first business working with 3 school friends developing and selling computer games for the Sinclair ZX81 computer. It’s amazing to think that it is almost 20 years since I ran my own business and could call myself an entrepreneur. Well I’m finally getting back to my roots. And again it is with 3 friends whom I’ve known and worked with for several years, Jim Benson, Corey Ladas and Daniel Vacanti. Together we have just started Modus Cooperandi, a consulting firm dedicated to improving leadership and management in knowledge worker industries. A firm that will pride itself in helping clients deliver superior results and become more competitive.

We’ve occupied the offices of Jim’s old business Gray Hill Solutions on Seattle’s Lake Union and we’ve opened up shop offering consulting on agile and lean enterprise transitions and training classes in Agile Management and Kanban. We intend to be leading the move to a more collaborative, higher trust, more open, more networked, more socially connected way of working in the 21st Century.

If you’ve been reading this blog for a while and wished, “if only we could hire David to come and help us…” or “I wish David taught classes in this stuff…” then your wishes have been granted.
