Sprintmodo helps leadership teams cut through competing priorities and deliver what matters.
Our Beginning
At age 8 (or so!), Sprintmodo Founder, Tom O’Brien and his brother Michael, were told to pull the weeds from two sugar beet fields on their father’s farm. They agreed to do one field each and whoever finished first would then help the other. It was a major underestimation of the job! A few hours later they were still in the bottom corner of their fields.
Their grandfather arrived and gave them better ways of working. They worked together in the same field for starters! They began to see the field being cleared of weeds. They felt momentum, and it felt good.
Working later in start-ups and large corporates, Tom saw the impact of momentum on team success and felt the frustration when momentum was lacking. During his MBA at London Business School, he began to collect what the most effective leaders actually do to move work forward.
He founded Sprintmodo to help leadership teams cut through competing priorities and deliver what matters, so more high-value work gets done and people get to do their best work.
Our Mission
We help leaders and managers focus on what matters and ensure high-value work gets delivered.
“I started Sprintmodo because I saw how frustrating it is when important work isn’t moving as it should.When teams are aligned, focused, and making progress, there’s a real sense of momentum, and it makes a huge difference to performance and to how people experience their work.Sprintmodo is about helping leaders cut through competing priorities and ensure the work that matters actually gets delivered.We all spend a lot of time at work, so it’s worth making sure that time leads to real progress.”
