  The opportunity for digital transformation in the post-pandemic age

  Effective management of digital transformation is vital but challenging. This was the pre-pandemic reality. Even companies who had the right digital strategy in place ran a high risk of failure because of its execution. A 2019 McKinsey briefing points out that failure to be effective happened five times more often than success. Now, with the added pressures of social isolation, working from home, and generally living online, going digital is no longer an option to consider but a required next step. While some companies have made preliminary steps in this direction, others were caught off-guard by these last few months and find themselves without strategy and execution altogether.

  Gear up with Ivory, a developer-centric framework

  More often than not, we evaluate people based on their skills. How competent they are, how relevant their experience is, what technologies they use. Especially in the tech industry, we believe that growing our skills will prepare us to deliver better results. I also believe that having the right skills is the best way to do an excellent job. But it shouldn’t stop here. Skills and gear If you’ve ever played an RPG, you would know that besides skills, you should have very good gear. I think this applies to our day-to-day life as well. The gear plays an important part in success, as we can see now in the fast digitalization of some industries.

  Meet Ivory - our highly opinionated acceleration framework

  At Thinslices, we are developers and craftsmen and we don't like to create waste. We want to create value. For us, that means building efficient software that takes into consideration the constraints of our clients: limited budgets, faster time to market, and quality foundations to build upon. After many projects, we started to see a pattern. Most applications in the same industry cluster had a common set of features, such as user management, payments, or inventory management.

  Business Model Generation App - Canvas Model Design App

  Last week we wrote an article about what a business model does for your startup. We made some suggestions we find very useful for mobile startups: Business Model Canvas or Lean Canvas. Both tools do a great job. While doing some research, we found another pretty cool tool for entrepreneurs. The Canvas Model Design combines the Business Model Canvas, the Lean Canvas, the Business Model You and Product Canvas. We have also looked in the AppStore for their mobile application and we've decided to give it a try.

  How to create your first Minimum Viable Product via your landing page

  The Minimum Viable Product is not about building the minimal product that is usable and sellable, as much as testing your assumptions about the market with the minimal effort needed.
