Sprintmodo helps managers build execution momentum. We help them focus on the work that creates the most value, align their teams and stakeholders, and get it delivered.
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 managers actually do to move work forward.
He founded Sprintmodo to help managers build execution momentum, so more high-value work gets done and people spend more of their time on work that matters.
Our Mission
We help managers focus on the work that creates the most value, align their teams and stakeholders, and get it delivered.
“I started Sprintmodo because I saw how frustrating it is when important work loses focus, slows down, or doesn't get delivered. When people are aligned, focused, and making progress, there’s a real sense of momentum. It transforms performance and how people experience their work. Sprintmodo is about helping managers cut through competing priorities, align their teams and stakeholders, and follow through on the work that matters. We all spend a lot of time at work, so it’s worth making sure that time feels good and leads to real progress.”
