Workshop Partner

BeLiminal are experts in lean, agile and systems training  and coaching. We are brought together by a desire to see real human potential and engagement at work in organisations. Well designed training is the best way to build a common understanding and language in a team in a very short time. It’s a fantastic catalyst. Rather than death by PowerPoint and long lectures, they care how people actually learn. 

All of their trainers use accelerated learning techniques to present in highly interactive, brain-friendly ways that maximise learning and retention. Hands-on exercises and learn-by-doing simulations allow participants to directly apply what they learn as well as personally develop from expert feedback. BeLiminal’s training and workshops consistently reinforce the underlying Agile principles and values that drive success.
