Structure and Transparency for Transformation
Lattice Consulting was founded by Michael Wagoner to help organizations bring structure and clarity to complex transformation initiatives.
With more than two decades leading large-scale technology and business change, Michael gives organizations practical, transparent guidance that accelerates success and builds confidence in every
stage of transformation.
At Lattice Consulting, we begin by understanding your opportunities, challenges, and requirements before shaping any solution. By taking a collaborative approach, we ensure that the strategies and architectures we develop are aligned with your priorities and positioned for long-term success.
We work seamlessly with client teams and trusted partners to design and deliver programs that achieve measurable outcomes. Whether planning a roadmap, harmonizing processes, or guiding a program back on track, our goal is to provide clarity, structure, and execution discipline.
The name Lattice reflects our belief that structure drives strength. In physics, a lattice defines the arrangement that gives a material its stability, flexibility, and unique properties. In transformation, a well-designed program and transparent execution model have the same effect — enabling your organization to scale, adapt, and achieve sustainable results.
