About Sprintmodo

Sprintmodo is a manager and team development company. We strengthen how managers and teams work to get things done.

We use real work situations to challenge current ways of working and put better work practices in place. We do this through the Team Momentum System™, Challenge Sessions and the Manager Sidekick.

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 and teams build execution momentum, so more people get the chance to do their best work.

Founder & CEO
“I founded Sprintmodo because I want everyone to get the chance to do their best work. That doesn't mean everyone needs to change the world. It means being clear on where to focus your effort to add value, and having the structure and work practices that give you every chance to take action and follow through. When managers and teams have that clarity and are working well together, there’s a real sense of momentum. Sprintmodo exists to help create more of that.”
