For those new to Agile and Lean, or looking for a refresher, I provide Agile training. It provides a rich, stimulating introduction to the agile & lean mindsets and ways of working.
It often leaves attendees with a deeper appreciation of how agile and lean can help their organisation meet its challenges and opportunities in a fast-changing world.
Participants explore how they can be the change-agents to influence their organisations to be more value-focused, collaborative and effective. It allows them to support their teams to become more responsive to market demands and test their assumptions continuously.
This course has been run dozens of times for different clients, including FTSE 100 companies and independently.
It’s typically a one-day course. It can be customised to be delivered in as little as two hours.

Learning style
My style isn’t to lecture. I give attendees enough teaching and inquiry to stimulate questions, reflection and self-realisation.
I also include activities such as icebreakers and exercises which help embed the theory.
It’s not about IT
Agile outside of IT is growing, so the material and my training are not related to IT per se. For over a year I’ve been training recruiters, middle-management and teams who aren’t in software.
