M5L Consulting:
Scaling technical teams without the chaos
M5L Consulting

  • The M5L Approach

    Our experience building global teams for companies like Cloudflare and Imperva has shown that there's no one-size-fits-all model for SRE, NRE, DevOps, NOC, or other operational team structures. Each organization's culture, demands and history play crucial roles in determining what works best. Our approach is to work with your teams, understand your needs and design systems that work for you, not hand over boiler plate solutions and hope.

  • Think Rigorously

    Many consultants care about being right and care about delivering their solution their way. At M5L we care about people delivering meaningful work, continuing improvement and making the solutions that fit the company, its history, its goals and its culture. But with new ideas and better ways of working that are critical to organisations that want to grow, to improve and to innovate.

  • Global Optimisation

    Global teams and global services have to move with a global focus and global design. Pitching teams in locations that allow for "follow the sun" shift patterns is not enough to build a team that actually follows the sun in the way they work.

  • Optimism

    Teams can sometimes only see the bad things in their corner of the universe, the fires, the technical debt and moving goal posts. We work to enable teams to see the progress they are making, focus on the positives and provide clarity to their impact.

  • Move with Urgency and Focus

    Teams work best when they work with focus, a sense of urgency and a plan. Our experience tells us that teams who know what needs to be done, and are empowered to deliver, work faster and deliver higher quality products than teams who are micromanaged. We can help your teams untangle the noise, identify what's important and help them move with focus, urgency, and pride in their work.
