Our Story
Why Flatirons
Transformation is not a one-time project. It is a capability your business can learn and repeat. We started Flatirons Consulting to help small and mid sized companies build that capability without extra noise or cost. We install Transformation Management as an operating system for execution and change so teams decide faster, deliver reliably, and make value stick.
Who we serve: leaders in companies with 10–250 employees who face limits on cash, capacity, and capability. If you need weekly rhythm, portfolio control, or cross-functional speed, you are in the right place.
How we help: start where you are on the Stairway
Project System Starter → PMO Setup & Maturity → TMO Pilot & Scale.
The Moment This Clicked
I saw good teams struggle, not for lack of effort, but because work had no rhythm and decisions had no home. Meetings drifted. Projects piled up. Value was hard to see. The fix was not more software. The fix was an operating rhythm, clear decision rights, and a single portfolio view. That insight shaped our simple promise: one system, different rungs.
What We Build With You
Rhythm. Decisions. Value. These three ideas power every engagement.
- Rhythm: a weekly and monthly cadence that runs on clear agendas and action closure.
- Decisions: defined forums with owners, inputs, and rules of the road so tradeoffs are timely.
- Value: a scorecard and portfolio view so outcomes are visible and progress is routine.
You can start small with Project System Starter, then stand up or mature your PMO, and pilot a TMO when strategy cuts across functions.

About Jon Lenox
I focus on PMO maturity and Transformation Management for SMEs. I am currently writing a book that frames transformation as a repeatable operating system, built on four essentials many teams already feel but have not named: conviction in leadership, simple structure and disciplines, a steady rhythm, and meaning that people can own.
How We Work Together
- Quick fit call to locate the sharpest pain: execution, portfolio, or cross-functional change.
- Fixed-fee sprint with named deliverables and clear acceptance criteria.
- Evidence review to confirm outcomes and agree on next steps up the Stairway.
