Free guide for IT services and SI founders

The Leveraged Factory

How IT services firms build a services factory, a software factory and a product line the big SIs cannot copy.

Accenture and Deloitte are spending billions rebuilding delivery around agents. You do not need billions. You need the right line, the right gates and pricing that turns efficiency into margin.

Who this is for

Founders running 10 to 200 consultants

Delivery still depends on a handful of senior people, and every proposal starts from a blank page. The Services Line is the fix.

Firms that keep building the same thing

The same integration, report or accelerator, rebuilt per client. The software factory turns that into an asset with a version number.

Owners thinking about an exit

Buyers pay for lines and products, not for the founder's calendar. The scorecard shows how much of the firm is already a factory.

Fifteen pages. Ten minute scorecard. Free.

Get the guide, score your firm, and you will know which three stations to build first.
