Je suis coach agile, organisationnel et produit chez Goood! et gérant de l’agence lyonnaise.
J’ai découvert l’agilité il y a 15 ans en tant que développeur, après avoir été chef de projet, Scrum Master, Product Owner, QA… j’accompagne aujourd’hui les équipes, les services, les entreprises et les individus à devenir plus agiles.

D’un point de vue systémique, l’agilité c’est faire des petites actions locales en ayant en vue le système globale et c’est cette vue que j’apporte aux personnes que j’accompagne.

Mes pratiques préférées ? Celles provenant des méthodes agiles, du lean et du kanban, de la facilitation, de l’étude systémique, le jeu pédagogique et la gamification.
