TURNAROUND TALENT REVIEWS

"On behalf of the team here I want to personally thank GRO.TEAM for the amazing impact you had in just a few hours in this office. I appreciate you giving credit to the development team for arriving at the deliverable MVP, but in all honesty we would never have arrived at this point had it not been for your intervention."

Jessica Sachs

Director of Enterprise Sales Sprout Social

“GRO.TEAM provided an architectural review of ClusterSeven’s proposal to evolve an on-premise enterprise product to a SaaS offering. They familiarised themselves with our architecture at an impressive speed and rapidly proceeded to challenge us with relevant and insightful questions. Their breadth of technical and operational knowledge was clear and they provided an intelligent and considered assessment of the suitability of ClusterSeven’s proposal. With their guidance and advice, we have significantly increased confidence that a strategic initiative is on-track and we believe their input has significantly reduced the risk of unforeseen technical and operational problems.”

Pete Holmes

CTO Mitratech

“GRO.TEAM spent 3 days with our business. In these 3 days alone the gro.team person managed to get under the skin of our business, understand our people, our business challenges/opportunities and ultimately help us with defining our tech strategy for the next 12 months and beyond."
