Testimonials from my ADVISORY clients
Yuval is a highly experienced agile professional and trainer, a skilled interventionist, and an A+ team player in everything he does. He is highly skilled with clients in bringing his knowledge and intuition to help them meet their goals. Yuval is the best of the best.
It was such a pleasure to work with Yuval. His attention to detail and training program were exactly what we were looking for. He has a way of communicating change in a way that is easy to understand. I absolutely loved working with Yuval and would encourage everyone to work with him. Would absolutely hire him and his company again! Thanks Yuval!
We wanted to explore using agile methodologies within our Biotech environment. Yuval worked with us to produce a full programme of training and implementing / adapting Scrum with Kanban across our entire ecosystem. Yuval was flexible in his approach, spent time discussing specifics and his coaching and subject matter expertise was invaluable. 18 months later and agile is a normal part of how we operate.
Yuval led the agile training at Gillette, which was linked to a major innovation project we were working on (The Exfoliating Razor). The project was on extreme timing and we needed to rethink how to create innovation without sacrificing quality. Yuval trained us on the basics and then consulted with us to help us define the best process. His collaborative, patient, and iterative learning approach was great for our team, which was initially hesitant. His dedication and persistence paid off and enriched the team with a new way of working for future innovation projects. I highly recommend partnering with Yuval on any project where you need to identify new ways of working faster and better.
