You cannot improve that which you cannot see

Our name describes part of our ethos, "Gemba", is a lean management principle that means "go to the real place".

Who is Gemba Group?

At Gemba Group, we believe in the power of direct, hands-on experience. Our name, derived from the Japanese term “Gemba” - meaning “go to the real place” - reflects our commitment to deeply understanding our clients’ unique environments, challenges, and opportunities.

As a boutique agile consultancy, we are not just observers. We are active participants in the spaces where our clients operate, gaining firsthand insights that enable us to craft tailored solutions for impactful results. Our small, versatile team thrives on this immersive approach, leveraging our expertise in agile software development and delivery to guide our clients through their digital transformation journeys.

We aim to disrupt the standard software development lifecycle (SDLC), steering our clients away from the limitations of traditional methodology and towards a customer-centric, iterative approach that delivers value at every step. Our process is simple yet effective, breaking down big-picture goals into manageable tasks, allowing for flexibility, and ensuring continuous improvement.

The Process

Breaking things down into simple metaphors

Our philosphy of going to the Gemba means we thrust ourselves into the heart of what matters, sidestepping traditional consulting styles in favour of leading by example. Do as we do, not do as we say.

The Summits

These are your overarching goals. They’re the vision of your future state, and they guide everything we do.

The Landmarks

We break down those big goals into smaller, achievable targets. This approach allows for better time management, early identification of potential issues, and the flexibility to pivot when necessary.

The Trail

This is where the work happens. In focused sprints, we produce work, identify obstacles, and refine our process. It’s a journey of continuous improvement, leading to a refined final product.
