Award Recognition for Innovation in Digital Transformation
Conflux, a trailblazer in organisational transformation, has been awarded the title of “Best Digital Transformation Consulting” at the prestigious Netty Awards 2024.
This honour highlights Conflux’s innovative accelerators and the Adapt Together™️ approach, emphasising their profound impact on the digital transformation sector. Their unique ability to deliver measurable ROI within months, coupled with a dual focus on immediate efficiency and long-term strategic vision, distinguished Conflux in this highly competitive category.
CEO’s Statement on Achieving the Award
Matthew Skelton, CEO of Conflux and co-author of the influential book Team Topologies, stated, “It’s a privilege to be recognised for our dedication to helping organisations thrive while delivering results swiftly.”
Key Factors Behind Conflux’s Success
The judges particularly commended Conflux for its capacity to unlock millions in annual value and dramatically enhance time-to-value through innovative solutions in Strategic Roadmapping, IT/Engineering Optimisation, and Business-IT Alignment. The inefficiencies of highly coupled delivery processes are a significant drain, with a typical 400-person department incurring around $30 million annually in salary costs due to delays caused by dependencies. This figure excludes additional costs such as rework, staff attrition, and process inefficiencies.
Matthew Skelton further explained, “Shifting to a fast flow way of working offers a massive opportunity to reduce delays and deliver value more efficiently.”
Addressing the Impact of Low Employee Engagement
With $8.9 trillion lost annually in global GDP due to low employee engagement, as reported by Gallup, staff engagement has become critical for achieving practical, bottom-line results. Conflux increases staff engagement by fostering communities of advocates and champions across organisations, driving both innovation and morale.
Fostering Alignment Between IT and Business
Additionally, Conflux supports leaders in aligning IT with broader business goals. Research by LSA Global, spanning 410 companies across various industries, revealed that highly aligned organisations achieved 58% faster revenue growth and 72% higher profitability than their less aligned counterparts. These organisations also enjoyed superior customer satisfaction and employee engagement levels 16 times higher than those with low alignment.
Conflux: A Catalyst for Digital Transformation
More than just a consultancy, Conflux serves as a catalyst for digital transformation. Their methodologies empower teams to be both engaged and aligned, fostering trust, innovation, and collaboration across departments.

This recognition coincides with the launch of Conflux’s Organisational Effectiveness and Alignment benchmarking tool, available at confluxhq.com/benchmark. This tool enables organisations to assess their alignment with fast-flow practices in IT/digital delivery, software services, and innovation.
