Simon Macpherson
I am passionate about helping individuals, teams, and organizations discover how to maximize value from applying Agile principles. As an Agile Coach I seek clarity around; purpose, sharing the vision, and the personal values needed to align towards achievement, innovation, and sustainability.
I am also a pragmatist who understands, through experience, this is a journey for both the organization and each individual. How can Agile methods and mindset work in the existing container? What do we need to work on to change the environment to support greater agility? And ultimately, understand this is all about you. How are you showing up, what change is also needed in you? Because, here is the rub, trying to change others is futile but we have full control over changing ourselves.
My work life experience stretches across a variety of backgrounds beginning in retail, moving toward manufacturing and engineering, a stint in self-employment, many years in the hospitality industry, and finally software development. As an Agile Coach I have long term practice in telecommunications, health-care, travel & leisure, and insurance. I am also a trained and practicing Co-Active Coach.
