Hear from those who’ve been there
Participants from leading organizations across automotive, defense, banking, telecommunications, and technology consulting, and many more have attended.
It was an amazing workshop and a must for any person avid to foster and guide thoughtful, empirical, yet strategic change towards holistic, and systemic improvement in the organization!
Last week I spent interesting 2 days in a training on ‘Designing agile organizations’. It turns out there is no single approach or integrated framework to address this challenge. We all need to find the answers ourselves. But thanks to Cesario Ramos we have now a toolbox of proven methods and techniques to face the challenge! Great training!
Many thanks for the awesome training, Cesario!
Really enjoyed the Designing Agile Organizations course! Learning alongside such an insightful group truly enhanced the experience. The practical examples provided, also from Strobbo, added significant value. For me, this course complements the LeSS practitioner course I previously followed, broadening the scope from multi-team Scrum to full product groups and beyond. Let the experiments begin! Thank you Jurgen De Smet for an inspiring 2 days!

The CAO workshop box
The Real Work Begins After the Course.
Every participant of a Creating Agile Organizations course will now receive a full deck of our CAO Workshop Cards. These cards are designed to help you bring the course ideas into real conversations inside your organization.
They can be used for aligning strategy with structure, exploring adaptability costs, or making sense of design trade-offs. Think of them as tools for reflection, facilitation, and action.
