Fifteen years ago, coming from Lean Thinking and Portfolio Management, I jumped into the agile world with my entire body.
I went through more than 200 agile projects and contributed to several communities. Ten years ago, as a member of the PMI, I contributed to creating the PMI ACP Certification, which left considerable space for improvement.
Five years ago, I was asked by Mike Beedle to join his project on Enterprise Scrum. Unfortunately, Mike passed away, and I used my org development and behavioral analysis research to write my first book in 2020, "The New Normal: AO concepts and patterns of 21-st century agile organizations," and "Swarming X4" in 2021.
I'm a certified agile master coach with several agile certifications levels, still interacting with many initiatives on the evolution of work.
I don't distinguish between development and an executive committee of a global organization.
In 2014, I created Play14 (www.play14.org) with two colleagues, a global initiative on facilitation and serious games.
Even if I'm a full-time consultant, I'm still involved in Disciplined Agile with the PMI, with Open Eyes on the evolution of leadership, and with the ICF on agile coaching.
I’m an alumni of Boston Consulting Group and MIT.
