Having coached Agile approaches in IT and software development, Dave Marsh is leveraging his expertise to create similar benefits in other parts of the organization.

When leaders come to understand the dramatic impact that iterative approaches can have on improving quality and reducing waste, they become enthusiastic about the potential for these approaches across other departments in the organization. Collaboration changes culture.

Some questions to determine where Dave can help on small and large projects:

  • Is there a climate of mistrust between business units?
  • Are your teams geographically distributed (remote) or co-located?
  • Do you know how to identify your stakeholders?
  • Are your desired outcomes identified? And, agreed by all stakeholders?
  • How do you measure your outcomes in order to define what success means?
  • Is there a void between business units?
