In the AI era, our greatest strength lies not in automation, but in our unique human qualities. My two decades have focused on guiding teams beyond basic self-organization to transformative teamwork. High trust and psychological safety are crucial to bridge the gap, requiring growth from both teams and leaders. The hardest part is giving a vote of confidence in advance, risking disappointment.

Companies have shifted to long-term remote work and employees across many different industries are accepting that the pre-pandemic workplace will not come back. I call this "radical remote".

Unbelievable: the agile manifesto turns 20. Agile leadership has grown up. With it, the community around agile frameworks of all kind has grown over the years.

This video with PST Uta Kapp talks about the Women in Agile Conference 2020.

Scrum and agility create frameworks for diversity. A healthy mix of men and women will benefit from this. In this post I want to explain why.

A topic at the World Economic Forum (WEF) at Davos this year was the question "How do we upskill a billion people by 2030?"

Our trainings around Scrum aim at gaining knowledge in applying Scrum to improve on product development. To achieve this in an ideal way, we deliver our training in the language spoken locally.

Scrum.org has a diversity council that has been researching the topic from an agile perspective. How can Scrum Teams embrace diversity and what will be the gift from doing so?

Teams with high diversity are more innovative. They have more perspectives that create a higher rate of idea flow. More new ideas are generated that lead to new products and innovations than in homogeneous teams.  What is innovation?

Diversity boosts innovation in companies in times, when the rate of outside change is high. Diversity of people across culture, gender, religion, physical ability, ethnicity and other individual differences have to offer value for the group. Diversity in teams can generate greater idea flow and help making faster and better decisions. 

Collaboration is the key to successful agile product development. A community of practice is a technique that helps us achieve this.
