Simplification Officers
Org design and technical excellence for software and product organizations. We work hands-on inside your teams, and we measure what changes.
What makes an organization slow
4 kinds of complexity, grown over years. Each one adds a wait.
AI complexity, part 1
Teams get AI tools and write code faster. The work still waits at handovers, approvals and fragile systems. More output reaches the same queues.
Horizontal complexity
Every feature needs 5 teams and a plan to line them up. We help you form teams that deliver a whole customer feature, across the old lines.
Vertical complexity
Managers, approvals and reports pile up. We remove the layers that no longer add anything, so decisions get made close to the work.
Technical complexity
Technical debt, tangled architecture and manual releases. We work in the code with your engineers: tests first, continuous integration and delivery, an architecture teams can change safely.
AI complexity, part 2
With the structure untangled, we redesign how your teams discover, build and run software with AI. In real work, measured.
The result
Fewer handovers, fewer layers, cleaner code. Then AI speeds up the whole organization, and you can see it in the numbers.
What we do
Each one starts from a problem you can name. Pick one, or combine them.
Horizontal and vertical complexity
We redesign teams, roles and decision paths around your product. Fewer handovers, fewer layers, one shared plan.
Technical complexity
Our engineers and yours, side by side in the code. Tests first, continuous integration and delivery, and an architecture that teams can change safely.
AI complexity
AI adoption that sticks, run with H³: 3 days of Harvest, Hack and Harness, then 3 to 6 months in real work. Start with the free AI readiness check on howreadyfor.ai.
All 4, across many teams
When one product needs many teams, we help you organize them as one: one product, one backlog, teams that can build the whole product, and one shared rhythm.
Holding the change
Coaching for the leaders who carry the change: linking strategy to daily work, mentoring for product owners, team coaches and managers, and team coaching.
Clients
10 clients went on stage to say what changed, in their own words.
400%
productivity growth and 92% of the roadmap on time, across 13 teams. Václav Muchna, CEO of Y Soft, said it on stage.
42%
more output at SoftNet, which we analyzed together from their merge requests. Output is not value, so they moved to outcome measurement: from 0 to 100% of milestones between May and September 2026.

Our developer enablement has undergone a remarkable transformation, leading to heightened code ownership and a substantial enhancement of overall knowledge across fully cross-functional teams. Consequently, our delivery approach has shifted from being a mere ‘feature factory’ to one that is firmly rooted in outcomes.”
Christof Debaes, CIO, AccentJobs
“What sets Jurgen apart is that he doesn't just change processes, he changes mindsets. … Jurgen brings real hands-on experience with AI-assisted development. … This isn't theoretical knowledge, he applies it in practice and knows how to make it work in a team context.”
Johan Rodeyns, Project Leader, Sopra Steria at Infrabel
“His insights on simplification and automation consistently help us deliver better, more meaningful increments to our clients. … he designs systems that remove structural friction and enable engineers to focus on building rather than navigating layers and politics.”
Piotr Zmilczak, Software Engineer, SoftNet
