I partner with technology teams to shed inefficient ways and create predictable, sustainable, work environments with happier employees. This typically involves agile approaches, and increasingly OKRs.
Thought leader: I give keynote conference addresses and write books about our digital world and the process change called agile that accompanies digital tools.
Consultant I provide coaching, mentoring and advice for managers and teams in how to use agile approaches and OKRs to accelerate delivery, meet deadlines, and execute against strategy. These approaches benefit businesses and create more fulfilling work environments for people.
