Want to become part of a community that wants to live and breath agility?

At the beginning of 2019, we set out on a journey of change towards an agile culture in the entire organisation in Finland. We are not even close to completing the journey yet, but by embarking on it you will have the best opportunity to succeed as an agile coach. You will be surrounded by a community that wants to live and breathe agility all the way from the management team down to each individual member of each tribe and team. You will be building the agile coach community together with Jesse, Taina and Sami, for example:

"I was surprised how much OP supports Agile Coaches' development. During my own career, I have never seen such an investment in practice anywhere else. This role requires curiosity, optimism and caring. A curious person makes interesting observations and optimism takes the observations further. Caring is the basis of our work."

Jesse Kaislavuo,  Senior Agile Coach

“On a global scale, OP has been at the forefront of reforming both the industry and working life. Our values are reflected in all our activities. My working days are fast-paced, each day is unidentical and in many ways positively challenging. It’s not always clear what kind of tasks I face during the day, but I still haven’t faced a problem that couldn’t be solved with the support of my colleagues.”

Sami Markkanen, Senior Agile Coach

 

"What I love about my job, is the human interaction, my coaching role, and problem solving. I guide and mentor OP's tribes and teams towards the new agile culture and agile ways of working."

Taina Suihkonen, Agile Coach

OP is constructing its own agile operational model. Teams and tribes are essential for the new model, and leadership will become more and more like coaching. The teams decide how they work and reach their goals.

We don’t often run across stories of failure. Still, an agile team’s successes may often be the result of a failed experiment. At its best, the process can make the entire organisation better. OP’s Agile Coach Sami Luoma writes about failure on our blog.
