How We Deliver Agile Coaching

Culture first, "agile mindset" approach

Culture is at the forefront of everything we do. It’s also the biggest challenge facing Lean and Agile transformations. We use behavioural modelling paired with Agile IQ® to assess agile capability maturity and identify areas for coaching and improvement. We look for behaviour that is an early sign of cultural change and help to reinforce and reward it. This approach ensures that we align with how you whole organisation operates, rather than shoehorning a framework that is foreign to your portfolio, program, and project planning.

We develop your people

Many consultancies embed their people like contractors or full-time staff. When they leave, your agile capability walks out the door with them.

We focus on building you own agile coaching capability through our award winning ZXM Agile IQ® Academy™ framework:

  • Mentor key champions.
  • Train your staff – executives to teams.
  • Support and coach your leadership.
  • Create consistency of practice.
  • Report on agile maturity progress.

Our Clients

Our clients include product management, marketing, insurance, energy, legal and even data analysis, across both corporate and government organisations.
