Lean Change Coach facilitates the adoption of agile tools, mindsets and frameworks in complex organizations (Enterprise Agility). He does so by borrowing tools from Design Thinking, Lean UX, Lean Startup and Agile (e.g. Kanban and SCRUM, SAFe). Here the fields of action are MARKETS and TECHNOLOGIES (what I can offer, and why it is valuable to my clients); OPERATING MODELS and LEADERSHIP (how my organization reacts, adapts and transforms itself).Unfortunately, there are no best practices or cases to imitate: you must work on what you have.Agility is a corporate sport!
