Summary

How often have you felt stuck, that you and your team were trapped in old, ineffective ways of working? That you had more potential but didn’t know how to unlock it?

I know that feeling all too well. A few years ago I was part of a development team. I worked at a company stuck in slow workflows and strict hierarchies and felt frustrated that we gave our clients zero added value. My change suggestions and ideas were ignored. As long as I was in the office from 9 to 5—no longer, and definitely not before the boss.

For me, agile working has always been the intuitive way to collaborate, and since I found it solved my frustration, I made it my passion and profession.

Agile habits are the key to effective teamwork and success. That doesn’t mean it’s always easy. Often open communication uncovers uncomfortable topics—and leads to constructive solutions.

Agile working needs new skills like flexibility and unlearning.

"The Agile Habit" is more than a concept. It’s a vision we share and live in our team and teach in our trainings.

Our vision is that all aspects of agility become a natural part of your daily work so you don’t even have to think about it, because agile behavior is your new habit. We know many people haven’t seen the potential of agile working yet and that taking the first step can be hard. But we’re here to help.

In our formats, you’ll see how to take your team to the next level and work successfully in an agile way.

If you’re ready to leave your old ways behind and join us on the path to modern work, I’d love to hear from you.
