Business Agility Training and Consulting for Product Organizations
Your product organization needs to move faster, but organizational structures, governance, and ways of working are holding teams back. Our Business Agility Program helps leaders redesign organizational systems to enable rapid product decisions, scale product development across teams, and create environments where product innovation thrives.
Whether you’re removing organizational barriers that slow product delivery, scaling product development across multiple teams, or building adaptive organizational capabilities, we provide workshops, consulting, and coaching that address your specific product organization challenges.
Business Agility Workshops
Address specific aspects of building business agility in product organizations. Take individual workshops to solve targeted challenges, or combine multiple workshops to build comprehensive organizational capabilities.
Building High-Performing Organizations Workshop
Evaluate and redesign organizational systems for business agility and resilience in product organizations. This 2-day workshop covers six enablers: leadership evolution, culture transformation, structure redesign, people engagement, governance adaptation, and ways of working implementation. Develop skills to assess organizational health, identify alignment gaps, build coalitions for change, and overcome resistance that causes most transformation initiatives to fail.
Agile for Executives
Understand how business agility enables competitive advantage in product organizations. This customizable 2-4 hour session helps executives understand why traditional organizational structures slow product development, how business agility accelerates product decisions and delivery, the leadership shifts required to empower product teams, and how to sponsor organizational changes that enable rather than impede product innovation.
Scrumban Training
Adapt product team practices to your organizational context. This 1-day immersive workshop covers how to combine Scrum and Kanban effectively for product development, understanding strengths and limitations of each approach in product contexts, and keys to successful implementation.
Scaling Scrum Workshop
Scale product development across multiple product teams working on large initiatives. This 2-day workshop covers scaling principles for product organizations, alignment practices across product teams, and analysis of scaling frameworks including SAFe, LeSS, Nexus, and Scrum@Scale. Learn to evaluate which framework fits your product organization’s context, constraints, and structure to enable coordinated product delivery at scale.

Implementation Coaching
Help product teams at all organizational levels apply practices in their specific context. Experienced coaches work with product teams and stakeholders to embed effective ways of working, acting as role models and developing leaders who champion these practices.
Coaches guide product teams through effective practices and rituals, tailoring approaches based on team maturity and product complexity. As teams mature, coaches transition to advisory roles, becoming thought partners who challenge the status quo, surface and resolve organizational obstacles to product delivery, and improve practices across the product organization to minimize silos and enhance cross-team collaboration.
Coaching services include:
- Product team coaching – Work alongside product teams as they adopt new practices, providing real-time feedback and guidance

Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between organizational transformation coaching and workshops?
Workshops provide frameworks and skills for transformation challenges. Coaching provides ongoing support implementing those frameworks in your specific organizational context, navigating politics, building coalitions, and overcoming resistance as you execute your transformation roadmap.
How long does organizational transformation take?
Meaningful organizational change typically takes 12-24 months to become embedded in culture and operations. Early wins and improvements often appear within 3-6 months. Timeline depends on organization size, current culture, leadership commitment, and transformation scope.
Do we need executive buy-in before starting?
Yes. Successful transformation requires active executive sponsorship. Our Agile for Executives workshop helps secure that buy-in by educating executives on transformation benefits, required leadership shifts, and their critical role in supporting change.
Can you help us choose between scaling frameworks?
Yes. The Scaling Scrum workshop provides objective analysis of SAFe, LeSS, Nexus, and Scrum@Scale, helping you evaluate which fits your context. We can also provide coaching to help make this strategic decision based on your specific constraints and goals.
What if we’ve tried agile transformation before and it didn’t stick?
Many organizations struggle with sustainable transformation. Common issues include lack of executive support, insufficient coaching, trying to scale before team-level practices are solid, or not addressing organizational structures and governance. Our approach addresses these factors through the Building High-Performing Organizations workshop and transformation coaching that builds internal capabilities.
Do you work with organizations new to agile?
Yes. We work with organizations at all stages: exploring agile, implementing team-level practices, scaling across departments, or optimizing existing agile practices. Programs are tailored to your current maturity and transformation goals.
