A Few Organizations We’ve Helped
You Know You Need To Change, but Transformation is Hard
AgileFire is the Change Leader’s Coach, Let’s Build Value Together
Engage Your Employees & Customers
It is all about culture. You don’t want a lack of employee engagement; there’s not only customer dissatisfaction but also employee dissatisfaction. The critical people in your organizations need to be happy, both internal and external – no more toxic culture with a lack of transparency and alignment.
Deliver on Time, With Higher Quality, and at a Sustainable Pace
Reconnect your workers in the trenches with the company vision. Keep delivering the value without having too much work in process. Don’t push those teams too hard, creating a bad culture. We help you towards your goal of becoming a lean-agile organization, not only SAFe.
Align Your Entire Business
Imagine the impact of having your entire business aligned and clear on the vision, strategy, and priorities. Imagine the ability to deliver value faster and with more accuracy, be more innovative, and respond to disruption without breaking stride. Align the workers, the work, and the process.
Untangle Your Strategies, Unlock Your Teams
Stop looking at each other as the issue and come together to solve the customer’s problem. We help organizations find a better way of working and create an environment where they are relentlessly improving to be more relevant, more iterative, build the right things at the right time, and give the customers the correct value.

We give you that roadmap for changing how you work. The first step, your big opportunity, is just realizing your current way of working isn’t serving you or your customers anymore. It’s time to change the way you work. You put the team together; the training, coaching, methodologies, frameworks, designers, the architects of the way you work. Then you build out your backlog, which contains “changing the way you work” items, and you apply a value prioritization to those items.
