About Guru

I have 20+ years of experience in the IT Industry and 10 Years in Agile and Lean. I have performed several leadership roles in setting Agile and Lean *Systems* for the organizations. I work with all levels of hierarchy in order to make the change stick.

My engagement approach help the organizations to realize full potential of what Agile has to offer:

1. Outcome based – involves an approach where all the key stakeholders are involved in deciding on the outcomes of transformation and how best to use Agile frameworks to solve inherent organizational problems.

2. Data driven – at any point of time, the progress of transformation is transparent to all key stakeholders

3. Contextual – No one-size fits all. The frameworks are not merely implemented by the books but ensured that it is tailored to the context to derive the maximum value for the clients.

4. Sustainable – Ensures that the changes made are not just temporary but lasts over a longer period of time even after the coach is disengaged.

5. Systemic –to ensure that change is not just in mechanics, but cuts across the complete system of events, practices, mindset and behaviors. Team + Management + Leadership.

6. Experiential – the learning method does not just involve the theoretical concepts but focusses on immersive experience for the audience which facilitates the practitioner in using these skills on the trenches.
