Together with my management team, we stand for our conviction that Celerity Consulting has been instrumental in moving NeoPhotonics from a research company to a product development and manufacturing enterprise. As a result of the tools that Celerity has introduced, we have seen a marked increase in both productivity and general morale as project teams measure their accomplishments and reduce their risk.

...beyond the practices, structures, language and metrics, it is really Adam himself who breathed life into the approach through his workshops and coaching. The end result was that more than one team member remarked that the project Adam coached us on was the most effective project they had ever been involved in.

Adam does what he says he will do, and he does it with integrity. He helps project managers identify and mitigate risks while creating commitment within their teams. He has a deep understanding of the most critical aspects of project management and does an excellent job training, coaching and transferring this knowledge to project teams.

The common language and concepts associated with Risk Up Front methodology also helps the management team quickly focus in on aspects of product development that need their attention. What really make all this work is Adam's strong presentation style, his tenacity to continue shining light on aspects that need attention and just great personality overall.

Adam is the most engaging, inspiring and energetic person I know. He has been helping PKWARE return to their start-up roots and build out our new product development group. Adam has tremendous depth in knowledge of products in the technology space and frequently draws on his experience as a product builder to focus both our tactical and strategic thinking.

Building a framework for moving projects from tech development to product development for such a broad array of products is a tall order, but in his folksy and approachable style, Adam was able to introduce the framework of "Risk Up Front" to our audience of faculty and graduate student scientists in a format we received multiple rounds of gracious thanks for. Thanks Adam for your help and support.

Celerity has done a great job in three companies where I hired them to improve our engineering process. They delivered concrete results and made a big difference in the long-term, on-going process of engineering.
