Enable an Agile Product Culture
Coaching helps you improve what’s going on in your thought processes and feelings, that gets in the way of achieving the psychological flow state with your team. In our sessions we help you set best conditions for work to flow smoothly in a team. We co-design with you the next step to address stakeholder needs and to relieve deadlocks in working with your agile team by adjusting what’s going on in the structures and systems surrounding you and your team. With personal attention we help you re-shape and process an agile working culture to optimize creative flow.
Our Way of Working
When working with organisations who are leading in digital and agile product development we are constantly deepening our knowledge in designing agile product organisations that grow organically and adapt to fit needs. In the process of using our toolbox in coaching corporate startups and accelerators from global companies we’ve identified a set of core principles and success factors that guide us as we help innovation teams:
- Organize in small, 100% dedicated, cross-functional teams using lightweight agile roles. Have a dedicated sponsor who leads in an agile way, creates high level of psychological safety and gives forthright, non-violent feedback. Nurture a culture of high autonomy, shared purpose, mastery and trust,. Establish a customer-centric flow, value create over react. Have a strong shared vision combined with rapid empirical design/test cycle for fast learning. Utilize a lightweight, emergent, adaptive agile process owned by the people who do the work, in a continuous improvement cycle, with emphasis on: focus, speed, action, visualization, time-boxing and experimenting. Be mindful of setting up a physical and digital workspace that adapts for creative work.
Some of the questions we deal with in our Coaching sessions
- I’m feeling overwhelmed by the uncertainty in my project
- We lack a sensible workable process for determining what work to do and when
- I feel like I'm supposed to be an expert, but actually I don't know what to do next
- I’m in a power struggle or conflict with someone
- I’m grappling privately with anxiety, low confidence, caring too much what others think
- I feel like I'm not seen, known, or valued enough for my true gifts
- My team doesn’t feel fully safe psychologically
- I can’t figure out how to motivate my team
