Case Studies
At which organizations are the ideas of unFIX already applied?
The unFIX model was published in January 2022. You will understand that it’s too early to say which companies have successfully adopted this model. We just got started!
However, multiple companies have already contacted us, saying, “What you’ve drawn in the unFIX picture is almost exactly how we operate!” We are working with several of these businesses and will be publishing multiple case studies. You find the first ones on this page.
On top of that, millions of companies successfully apply various bits and pieces of the unFIX model. Nobody calls it "unFIX" because we came up with this name only recently. The model described on this website is an aggregation of common sense ideas already in use at countless businesses worldwide.
The only new thing is a unique visual and fresh terminology to describe what fast-growing companies are already doing. And yes, there are people who’ve started experimenting with the model. Join our community to learn more!
