Wim Bollen

Transformation management - Management Consultant - Agile Coach

The bottom line

I specialise in improving cross-team and inter-departmental workflows, propelling rapid product development and streamlined software delivery. 

Drawing from a rich blend of traditional, Lean, and Agile thinking, I empower teams, management, and executives to implement lasting improvements.

About me

With over 20 years of experience in scale-up and large organisations,
I specialise in helping companies navigate critical transitions.
These transitions often involve adapting to rapidly changing competitive environments, adjusting value delivery skills to handle strategic initiatives, or developing a learning journey to balance current delivery capabilities with necessary tactical improvements.

Managing the interactions between multiple teams and unit can be challenging, especially at scale.
This scale creates inefficiencies in the value streams, resulting in a decline in delivery rates and an increase in time to market.
Many organisations find themselves in a paradox where attempting to initiate more work (to be finished), specialise staff, and optimise staff deployment only results in further delays in time to market and a decrease in delivery rates.

To overcome these challenges, I use Okaloa Flowlab business simulations as a foundation to develop a shared understanding among staff of how value is delivered.
I then work to initiate perpetuating change on a large scale, coaching and mentoring individuals throughout the transition and developing the skills needed to moderate change.
