Some explanation about why we share knowledge and why we think it is important to do so…
We had the honour to coach a dynamic team of a large company on their journey towards change. It was a small team consisting of team members with tremendous potential. However, their potential could not fully blossom because their way of working was not organised in the most effective way to achieve optimal results. We […]
We took our Agile Kitchen on the road for the first time and set up shop in beautiful Kortrijk for our Agile Kitchen session @ De Leie on November 9th. We were the guests of Cronos @ de Leie, the operating base of companies like Noest and Sweet Mustard, and it proved to be the […]
A seemingly small decision can have big consequences in a growing organization. ‘Merely’ turning a team coach into a team lead may seem a very small and convenient change, but it will have a major impact and might not bring you the outcome you had in mind. In an ideal world, the growth process in […]

How do you help your team members overcome the many mental obstacles preventing them from wanting them to come back?

What a fantastic session it was to kick off! Let’s start with the beginning. We have been looking at ways to engage the agile community in our knowledge sharing. After many internal brainstorms, we came up with “Agile Kitchen”. In this way, we want to provide delicious dishes to everyone’s liking and give you a stage to share your signature dish of knowledge.
