Jeff Sutherland very strongly recommends Michael:

"Several years ago Michael asked me to help [...] implement Scrum in the Netherlands and India. Since then we have worked together and the teams he originated are now some of the best in the world with papers published at Agile 2008 and accepted for Agile 2009. A couple of years ago, Michael started his own company, Zilverline, and asked me to train with him in the Amsterdam area. We have done several courses together and I can enthusiastically say that Michael is one of the best trainers I have worked with."
