- Larry Bossidy and Ram Charan, The Discipline of Getting Things Done

Tadpole offers project management that adds value by leading, planning, coordinating & tracking the project to ensure a successful outcome.

Our role is often to act as the "middle-man" between the project stakeholders, decision makers and development team to ensure that the required solution is delivered.
