We, TM=GR* (*teaming is growing), are a team of executives formerly working for Sun Microsystems (customer services division). There, we worked for 10 years together and have a track of success. Our stregths are: developing new markets and developing teams to manage those markets. We are now looking for companies that want ...

1. 1

2. AN EXPERIENCED MANAGEMENT TEAM
When a company thinks about launching a new enterprise-level project, all the current working models forces it to
think linearly: define the infrastructure first, hire a Managing Director second, hire some people to surround him or her
afterwards, and if the market is big enough, at the end the most critical task is to make up a team to carry it out.
When you follow the traditional, linear path, the results may delay quite long, because the creation of the
infrastructure and the development of the business are serialized. The resulting organization does not scale, because it
was set up thinking in the constituent moment, where the priorities, profiles and relationships are different from those
requested when the business has been developed.
A lot of time is devoted to get that group to work as a really high performance team – if that is even possible, not an
obvious assertion when all the selection was done based on individual capabilities and not on mutual rapport and
levearage.
Can projects be executed in a different way? At TM=GR* we think that is possible and that is exactly what we offer.
In summary: An executive team, already established, with a proved track of success, that you can engage to take over
your enterprise project and drive it to deliver the fastest results, using a reliable execution methodology and committed
in every way to those results. 2

7. EXECUTION AND
RESULTS ARE KEY.
BUT WE DON'T DO IT
ANY OLD HOW
7

8. INTERIM
Interim means that we work to execute the change, and to be sure that its effects stay in
the organization (our legate). We are not attached to the hierarchy but to capabilities,
because we believe that those needed to create are different than those required to
TM=GR* mantain.
Moreover, we believe that deep changes requiere an external view and focused
OPERATION capabilities, independent of the history but able to understand and learn from it.
We always work with the internal team to ensure that, after the change, they have all
PRINCIPLES the information, training and capabilities to successfully fulfill their mission.
INTERDEPENDENCE
Interdependence means the wisdom that everything we do has an impact on others, as
well as what others do has on us. So that we all need each other.
We always work transparently and honestly to be efficient. We only accept a single set
of goals, and they have to be shared among all the people. If this happens, all the team
moves in the same direction and all the actions has a meaning.
Starting from interdepence we reach altruism, meaning that we only do what is
beneficial for the customer; it's the only way to be beneficial to us. We will never work
against the interest of our client, even if the client itself asks for it.
PEOPLE CAPABILITIES
We believe that the best results are delivered when everybody in the team is using their
own core capabilities. This is much more productive that working from a standard job
description. Not only that, the people are more satisfied and selft-motivated. To reach
this situation, a high level of communication and openness is required.
We know our capabilities (execution focus, customer centric, innovation, change
management, self-demanding and pioneer spirit). We have a network of professionals
that complement our capabilities. On top of that, we looking for customers and projects
where these capabilities add value .

10. TWOFOLD FOCUS: BUSINESS AND TEAM
Our methodology works in two axes: the business results and the development of the
TM=GR* people and the team that manage that.
In both axes, there is a phased process. A planning and agreement step is performed
DELIVERY with the customer ahead of any execution phase; so that the execution is faster while
flexible as required in changing business environments, the results are predictable and
METHOD the customer remains in command.
And because the business and the team are developed together, the sustainability in the
long term is guaranteed. Change will really happen.
A typical transformation project could take anything between 2 months and 2 years,
depending on the initial state and the desired scope. The resources dedicated and the
phases actually performed will be customized as well.

11. BAMBOO INSPIRED
Bamboo is the inspiration to create the TM=GR* (* teaming is growing) work methodology.
Bamboo is the plant with fastest growth worldwide, 30% faster than the next one. It can raise more
than 30 metres in just a month. The reason: it has been setting up for seven years, developing its root.
When it starts growing, it counts on the bests foundations and grounds to devote all its energy to that.
When it is cut, it grows again and again: it is ready to work against any setback.
It has one of the strongest structures known, stronger than iron with much lower weight. It is flexible
and that is the reason to also be robust. With bamboo we can build scaffolding to tall buildings, houses
and bridges earthquake proved.
Bamboo also have a unique quality: all individuals from a forest are connected to each other them in a
way still no clear. They build a network , one unit. The entity communicate, develop and grow together.
A team.
