Not Everyone is a "Coach"
We want you to realize that we are different. We have 20+ years of in-the-trenches agile experience at all levels of the organization. We've coached individual teams, technology groups, and entire organizations. And we've been successful at assisting teams to achieve the consistently high-performance levels that are the hallmark of solid agile teams.
We're not just any agile coaching and consulting firm. We've got the deep and varied experience that drives results. And all of our partner coaches bring this variety and depth into play for our clients. We think it's one of the things that truly differentiates us from the crowd.
Bob is also a Certified Enterprise Coach (CEC) Emeritus, one of less than ten on the planet. That credential amplifies not only our general coaching experience, but our ability to coach at the Enterprise or Organizational level.
Please read our article on: How to select an Agile Coach . We think it's an even handed view to the critical selection factors in finding a great guide for your agile journey.
And here's an overview of our Agile Coaching practice.
Agile Coaching
As you see in our coaching overview, we prefer coaching all 3-levels of the organization.
Team-level
Management-level
Leadership-level
This is truly the only way to achieve a balanced agile transformation. We leverage the our iCAgile ICP-LEA Agile leadership class and the Leadership Circle Profile tool as an entry point for coaching at the upper two levels.
Most of our coaching proposals contain a strategy that is 3-tiered in approach that we've found to be the most effective.
“Bob is one of the most intelligent, perceptive and thoughtful leaders I have ever had the opportunity to work with. His ability to listen then evaluate situations, make thorough assessments and provide guidance is truly impressive. Bob is a leader and coach that consistently model’s agile values and behavior. I always appreciated the advice and freedom that Bob provided. He is truly a servant leader that trusts his team. I consider myself very fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with Bob.”
Agile Coaching Community of Practice or Centers of Excellence
Partnership Program
Agile Coaching in the world of Business Agility can be a uniquely challenging space. One of those challenge areas is with your Agile Coaching Communities of Practice. A group encompassing your Agile Coach and Scrum Master teams that encourages their ongoing collaboration, learning, and growth. Which can be a centerpiece of your overall impact and value proposition or it can be another boring group meeting.
