Are you interested in Agility but refusing to buy into the Agile Theater?
↳ You believe agility is the key to regaining speed and traction, but you think there’s too much dogma and process BS surrounding it. (Maybe you’ve tried it before …)
↳ You’re looking for a pragmatic path toward agility that applies laser-focused interventions that help you scale your innovation throughput.
↳ You don’t want an army of coaches to descend on your organization. You have great people and leaders; they know what they’re doing. You’re looking for someone who would help them think the right way about agility, alignment, and autonomy.
↳ You know you have limited time to get this right, so you’re looking for focused guidance to minimize risk and take advantage of shortcuts.

Back Story
Learn More About My Back Story
I spent the first half of my career leading IT and product development, especially in teams focused on operating systems and networks.
While I half-joke that we were practicing DecSecOps in the Israeli Air Force in the 90s, my first formal exposure to Agile was in 2006, when my organization struggled to get its act together.
I learned about Scrum and Kanban, and we leveraged them to improve our ability to build a quality, valuable product and improve our time to market.
I realized that I was good at and passionate about figuring out how to apply agile techniques to help stabilize and scale product/IT organizations, so I essentially pivoted from the field of computer operating systems to human/organizational operating systems.
I’ve had the privilege of collaborating with world-class thought leaders in this space and helping lead technology companies, future and current unicorns, and future-leaning IT organizations improve their ability to innovate, their time to market, and the value they create for their customers.
Thought Leadership
- Establishing Kanban as an alternative/complementary path towards agility at the team and organizational level (some call me “Mr Kanban Israel” due to my involvement in creating a thriving enterprise kanban ecosystem in the Israeli tech sector and for Holy Land Kanban)
- Co-developing Scrum.org’s Professional Scrum with Kanban to help bring Kanban/Flow to more teams and organizations.
- Bringing invitation/pull-based change into the Scaled Agile Framework world.
- Co-creating the icAgile Agile Marketing curriculum and establishing best practices for applying Agile Marketing at scale.
