Question 1

How large does a company need to be to benefit from collaboration with an Agile Coach?

Accepted Answer

My work as an Agile Coach is very closely based on the needs and wishes of my clients, which is why collaboration is possible and makes sense irrespective of the size of a company. That means that both large as well as small and medium-sized companies benefit from Agile thought processes.

Question 2

How long does a company usually work together with an Agile Coach?

Accepted Answer

'Agile' and 'New Work' involve habits and thought process changes. This is generally a slow and profound process since people need time to change certain behaviour patterns and habits. That's why it is important that I support my clients as an Agile Coach over a more extended period so that the new behaviour patterns are internalised.

Question 3

Is there follow-up support?

Accepted Answer

Yes. There is always the option of follow-up trainings, to bring me on board during critical phases or to support upcoming workshops. I am also available for regular exchanges and reflection sessions, for example, to jointly develop solutions or reflect on past situations.

Question 4

Which offers are available, and how much do they cost?

Accepted Answer

My work as an Agile Coach is very strongly based on my clients' needs and wishes. The procedure and my offer are therefore defined on a case-by-case basis.

A general differentiation can be made between the following forms of support: 
Implementing or supporting Agile projects
Implementing and supporting 'New Work' and 'Agile' transformation processes and initiatives (in teams, departments or entire organisations)
Training employees to become Agile Coaches, Scrum Masters and to adopt other 'New Work' and 'Agile' roles. 
Holding keynotes
Holding 'New Work' and 'Agile' training events

Additional coaching and training can be offered during or after our collaboration. 
My rates are project-specific and depend heavily on the nature and scope of a project.

Question 5

What do you need from me as a leader in connection with 'New Work' and 'Agile' methods?

Accepted Answer

The fundamental requirement for 'New Work' and 'Agile' is the willingness to contribute to change and question your own thought processes and behavioural patterns. Leaders should therefore act as role models and both co-shape and facilitate the change process at their company based on their newly acquired mindset and behaviour. Only if employees notice that leaders are firmly committed to change, actively implement change and promote their employees while at the same time providing support and allowing them to be actively involved in the process will changes in the direction of 'New Work' and 'Agile' be sustainable.
