Accenture formally acquired Solutions IQ on September 2017.Griffin is an experienced and effective agile coach and mentor to Executives, Teams-of-Teams, Teams, Product Owners, Scrum Masters, and delivery team members as they work to understand and improve their role in agile. His approach is to understand the system and desired outcomes and help people discover how to become the best version of their role in their context. He partners with his coachees to take the risk to try something new and balance business outcomes. Working with people to discover and grow their capabilities makes him truly happy.Since 2014, I have created specific technical work products and consulted with clients regarding their Agile organizational transformation, using my technical expertise. Programs have ranged from highly engineered software devices/systems to global Human Resources and talent management systems, secure company-wide text messaging, and brick-and-mortar construction programs. Much of that work involves teaching, coaching, and mentoring individuals and teams as they learn a new way to work more effectively together. To better adapt to the business problem at hand, I try to co-create with the client a new set of business capabilities in their people. I am comfortable with complex and high-risk systems, the expectations and nuances of regulatory compliance, and blend SAFe (Scaled Agile Framework) and other Agile practices with the Jerry Weinberg and Virginia Satir human-centered system thinking for practical solutions for the client issues they have now.
