🔹 Why Thinkbridge moved from hourly to monthly pricing
🔹 Addressing the mid-market transformation gap
🔹 Avoiding “vanity tech”—what really drives impact
🔹 Redefining retention with transparency and accountability
🔹 Anand’s roadmap to agile scaling without trade-offs
🔹 Making tech teams resilient with hybrid models
🔹 Discovery phases as keys to high-value outcomes
🔹 Progress over perfection—the new rule for growth-stage orgs
🔹 AI’s role in leveling the playing field for emerging tech
