About

Title: Agile/Scrum Coach

Laurie Irish-Duncan:  My Why is to inspire people to achieve great things so that we create a positive and adaptive world.  My How is I coach and mentor individuals to become members of high-performing, self-managing teams, providing education, insight, and guidance across the organization. Through the facilitation of events, discussions, and question based decision-making, I ensure teams understand the importance of customer centricity, quality, and the practice of business agility.  Agile transitions are journeys, not destinations, and require  cultural shifts across the entire organization, not being limited to IT or Engineering, in order to ensure success.  This is without a doubt the most rewarding role that I've had the fortune to serve in my career.  To be a part of the "Aha" moments that  foster growth and success, within teams, their organizations, as well as across various industries, is truly great fun.
