On this adventure @ Dematic - Kion Mobile Automation R&D, I focus on accelerating the experiential culture; learning as an ongoing activity.

While scaling up our Product Development department, I co-facilitate onboarding, strategic workforce planning and driving a mentoring program.

While coaching Productowners and Scrummasters, I try to coordinate the collaboration of 200 software & electrical/mechanical engineers, 20 Product Development teams and stakeholders through their continuous delivery.

Impact so far =
-  Driving and supporting both team-level value delivery, growing leadership & team collaboration, and cross-R&D change initiatives.
-  Establishing engaging Communities of Practice, strong learning networks establishing knowledge transfer
-  Facilitating improvements and uplifting collective learning and efficacy by DoD and Skill Matrix
-  Syncing Development Goals with Release Roadmap and Program Board
-  Aligning Solution - Product - Software Development Life Cycle
-  Organize and drive product strategy and roadmap workshop sessions
-  Fostering collaboration with ART stakeholders
-  ART execution, introducing Hypothesis-Driven Development
-  Discuss engineering practices that comprise CD & help improving current capabilities

Bringing awareness on Project vs Product mindsets as well as Informational and Transformative perspective so we can keep on reimagining the way we think.
