Testimonials

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 and Ralph Jocham we have now a toolbox of proven methods and techniques to face the challenge! Great training!

An honor to participate in the first training about the fresh new book “Creating Agile Organizations”. Understanding organisations from a holistic perspective. Getting deeper into why big agile transformations often underdeliver. Thanks Cesario Ramos and Ilia Pavlichenko for sharing your well of wisdom. I can’t wait to bring the knowledge back to Belgium.

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!

Taking the “Designing Agile Organizations” course with Jurgen was a game-changer for me. I now really get how things work within our organization and why! A friend told me, “Your life will split into before the class and after the class. You can’t unsee things after that.” And he was right! I have implemented some positive changes and avoided damage thanks to what I learned.

The course was super hands-on. We talked about our own situations, shared different viewpoints, and learned a lot together. The practical approach made everything click. I highly recommend this course to anyone who wants to make their organization more agile and effective.

A while ago, I took the Certified Designing Agile Organisations class facilitated by Jürgen De Smet. Time (and money) well invested! Why?

Key takeaway: Understand the true focus of your organisation. These days, many organisations think they have to be product-focused, but is this really the case? Or is your organisation more customer-focused or operations-focused?

Furthermore, we had an in-depth conversation about 12 guidelines that are invaluable for redesigning any organisation. To pick out two: clarifying to contain reciprocal interdependencies within the product group, and deriving required capabilities from the strategic focus.

The systems approach of Designing Agile Organisations zeroes in on what really matters. It’s all practical and actionable. I highly recommend this inspiring course!
