Mike Bowler
I'm an experienced coach and trainer who helps teams, and their management, improve the way they deliver value. What makes my approach different is in the range of skills that I bring to your organization:
- Human behaviour, psychology, and applied neuroscience, to improve how people work, both individually and in groups. This includes a focus on growing psychological safety.
- Workflow design and implementation, to improve how the work flows through the system and how value is created. A focus on metrics, more data-informed decision making, and probabilistic forecasting to more accurately answer the question “when will we be done?”
- Product skills to ensure we're building the right thing, when the customer needs it.
- Technical skills to ensure that we're building that product right, improving how the value is actually implemented and maintained. Development, architecture, DevOps.
- Coaching skills to help us, help others. Utilizing unconscious behaviour to get the best out of everyone.
- 25 years of experience with Agile methods to put it all together. Kanban, Scrum, Extreme Programming (XP)
I'm based in Canada and have traveled around the world, providing training classes, coaching and facilitation services to my clients. Today, preference is being given to coaching that can be done remotely and I work in your timezone, wherever you are located.
When not doing any of that, I can often be found hiking in the mountains, with a camera.
