Description

Last Update: 24th May, 2020

Every Company is looking to be adaptive. What is holding them back, and what do they need to do?

Agile is first and foremost a mindset. An agilist does not want to waste anything; neither time nor money. We have replaced scope with value as our main driver. This might not always be easy, but it has become our mantra. We do this by performing continuous validation to check if we are holding to the promise. If not, then it's time to change the plan.

Why does this matter?

  • Planning for things that will never happen is a waste

  • Instead of concentrating on what we don't know, how about starting with what we know and get our hands dirty. This is the real way to learn and make progress

  • When you think about it, don't you want to make sure your efforts are worthwhile; they are appreciated and are something that people want. There's a word for this, and it's called value.

  • It's about having the right attitude, understanding what is important and staying relentless in achieving this


Who should be interested?

Anyone who is looking for a more effective way to run an adaptive organization, regardless of whatever system your company has deployed. 

Each course in Udemy offers the learner a 30-day money-back guarantee. No questions asked. You have nothing to lose. Sign up now!

My journey started in Los Angeles but moved on to different venues after becoming an adult. My first trip to Europe was at 19, and it changed the direction my life would take. 

After finishing university, I moved to Berlin but in an unconventional way. I bought a one-way ticket to Hong Kong, not knowing how I would get to Berlin. China had just opened up the borders to individual tourists, so I ended up taking the Trans Siberian Railway through the Soviet Union, Poland, and then eventually West Berlin. 

The goal was to stay only for 6 months. 2 years later, I moved from West Berlin to Vienna, where I eventually married a Viennese. We are in year 34 and counting.

We moved back to the US, where I started a career in customer service. Those learnings about customer satisfaction are still very much ingrained in me today. 

We came back to Vienna right before the Berlin Wall fell, and it's been my home since. My career moved onto Project Management, Product Management, and Business Analysis, and I worked for different multi-national companies.

I felt that something was still missing, so I set up my own company 8 years ago and have ventured onto activities that I couldn't have imagined beforehand. There is one common thread in all I have done. I love helping people and enjoy making a difference in any way I can. This, simply, has been my driver.

In addition, I have been involved in the world of academia for over a year in teaching this course as well as a number of others. There is nothing more satisfying than helping people reach their potential.
