Skore & Marjolo – deliver ground breaking business transformation.

Early 2018 saw Marjolo and Skore embark on the beginning of a partner relationship that would transform their own business practices and the scope for innovative transformation projects. 

The Opportunity Identified

Marjolo’s ‘disruptive and dare to be different’ attitude attracted Skore who saw an opportunity to  work with a company with a similar ethos and behaviours to themselves.  Skore initially collaborated with Marjolo on short outcome based projects where it was vital to deliver value quickly. It became rapidly obvious that the combination of Skore and Marjolo was not only a perfect product fit but also a true company match, and recipe for success.

Originally used internally to define their own processes and growth prospects, Marjolo immediately saw the value and began to use the same process with customers. Initial collaborations saw Marjolo using Skore software on smaller projects, adopting it quickly for tactical situations whilst combining Skore on a wider scale into their methodology.

Partnership Development

The relationship between the two companies developed swiftly with similar cultures being only the start. Skore and Marjolo continue to work on projects together with Skore recently hosting public training at Marjolo headquarters in Sheffield and a Skrum community event planned there for March 2020. Chris Green, Skore Partners Director, says

‘Working with Marjolo on community events like these just demonstrates again how aligned Marjolo and Skore truly are. Shared thinking and collaborations means the customer is truly put to the front of everything we do’.

From the beginning, Marjolo’s innovative approach to everything saw them considering new and fascinating ways to apply Skore to different projects. One such opportunity saw them considering how to use Skore to improve a Capability Assessment approach on an already established client project. Indeed, one of the most exciting parts of this new partnership is the chance for Marjolo and Skore to combine their expertise and explore ideas of how software could be developed and improved for the future to create industry leading initiatives, offering sustainable growth and financial advantages for clients.

Collaboration Tried & Tested

A recent in-depth project challenge with a multinational BPO was to develop the concept of the ‘Contact Centre of the Future’.

By using Skore’s software, Marjolo was able to underpin the three main process elements of the project in greater depth through workshops and greater engagement of the organisation:

• Technology
• People (future job opportunities and capability requirements)
• Process

Marjolo capitalised on the Skore platform solution by implementing it as the thread connecting the various workstreams.  By simplifying the project, Marjolo accomplished innovative transformation initiatives and delivered effectively on cost and time demands.

Skore’s leading edge software resulted in Marjolo being able to capture the Roles and Responsibilities in the People workstream whilst collating and understanding the technology requirements (Epics and Stories) against the processes. Together they prototyped a solution to take these requirements and process information and transfer the project directly to DevOps.

For Dave King, CEO of Marjolo, it was

‘the first time I had seen true process led requirements capture’.

Differentiation by Partnership

Ground breaking innovations such as these, results in Marjolo now including Skore as part of their ‘go to market’ offering to truly differentiate themselves in the market and outperform against all business strategy expectations.

Chris Green stated that he is proud of the fact that Skore with Marjolo are winning more work and increasing software sales. More than that however,

‘Marjolo have assisted Skore in reaching an even wider audience and exploring possibilities that we would not have considered possible a few years ago. Marjolo are more than a partner – they have the capability to instinctively bring out the best in Skore, assist us in product development and continuously challenge the way transformation and change occur in organisations.’
