What can Socrates do for me?

In essence, Socrates helps your team get better. True to his philosophic stance, he will challenge your team asking questions and encouraging critical thinking. While his current focus is on understanding how your team works and encouraging you to do the same, over time Socrates will start offering little pieces of advice for you to improve your team's delivery.

One behaviour at a time

The road to continuous improvement is a long one. It requires your team to stay disciplined to challenge its own behaviours every single day, while still delivering value to the customer at the same time. To ensure your team can make enough time available and stays motivated to accept help, Socrates only presents your team with one behaviour a day, requiring as little as 10 minutes of your team's time on a daily basis.

Without judgement

Socrates is there to help. While encouraging your team to improve, he does not judge your behaviours. After all, the best judge of your team's behaviours is the team itself. Your team alone knows the entire context and can explain why certain behaviours are valid even against the general expectation. When using Socrates as intended, those reasons will become clear to your entire team.

Changing minds

Socrates will always be there to ask critical questions, but your team will need to change its behaviours to continuously improve. Working with Socrates on a daily basis will nourish your team's ability to challenge itself in situations that Socrates currently cannot predict. With practicing critical thinking comes the ability to identify opportunities and improve your behaviours.
