Conflux, a leader in driving organisational transformation, has secured the “Best Digital Transformation Consultancy” title at the prestigious Netty Awards 2024.
This honour highlights Conflux’s innovative Adapt Together™️ methodology and transformative accelerators, recognising their substantial contribution to the digital transformation field. Conflux has set itself apart by achieving measurable ROI for clients in just a few months, while also balancing immediate efficiency gains with long-term strategic growth.
Matthew Skelton, CEO of Conflux and co-author of the widely acclaimed Team Topologies, said: “We’re honoured to be recognised for our commitment to fostering thriving organisations, delivering at speed.”
The judging panel praised Conflux for its ability to unlock millions in value each year, significantly reducing time-to-value with their solutions in Strategic Roadmapping, IT/Engineering Optimisation, and Business-IT Alignment. The cost of highly coupled delivery processes is immense, with a typical 400-strong organisation losing about $30 million annually in salary costs alone due to dependency bottlenecks—this excludes factors like delays, rework, staff attrition, and additional overheads.
Matthew Skelton further added: “There’s a huge amount of value to unlock here by switching to a fast flow way of working, and delivering a shorter time-to-value.”
Gallup estimates that $8.9 trillion in global GDP is lost annually due to poor staff engagement, making employee engagement a crucial factor in driving tangible, bottom-line improvements for any business. Conflux helps clients boost staff engagement by activating networks of advocates and champions within their organisations.
Conflux also supports leaders and managers in improving alignment, both internally within IT and between IT and the broader business. A study by LSA Global, which surveyed 410 companies across multiple sectors, revealed that highly aligned companies experience 58% faster revenue growth and are 72% more profitable than less aligned counterparts. Furthermore, these companies report far higher levels of customer satisfaction and 16 times greater employee engagement compared to those with lower alignment.
Conflux’s role goes beyond mere consulting; the company actively drives digital transformation. Through their work, they empower teams to be more engaged and aligned for innovation, accelerating trust, progress, and engagement across all levels of the organisation.
The Netty Award coincides with the launch of Conflux’s new Organisational Effectiveness and Alignment benchmarking tool at confluxhq.com/benchmark, which helps companies assess their alignment with fast flow in IT/digital delivery, innovation, and knowledge work. This rapid assessment tool provides CIOs and CTOs with a practical way to respond to the common executive question of how to improve speed and cost efficiency.
Thomas Gibbs, Director of Operations at Publish Interactive, shared his experience: “The input we’ve had from Conflux has been great. It’s really helped us to develop a clearer picture of where we’re heading with both technology and teams. I think we’ve managed to jump over some of the potential pitfalls in moving to cloud thanks to the sessions from Matthew and the team at Conflux.”
This award solidifies Conflux’s crucial role in advancing the digital transformation sector, advocating for flow-driven, team-oriented, digitally enabled work environments. The company is set to continue its work in fostering highly effective, efficient, and people-centred workplaces, helping organisations deliver at speed and scale.
