In cooperation with Pal Blah, we have prepared a set of three workshops for the upcoming period, which will focus on the agile way of managing the company. Over the years of cooperation, you have had the opportunity to see him at several of our events and conferences. We believe that he is a true expert in his field. After the workshops, it is possible to follow up on an internal consultation directly in your company, along with recommendations on how to improve, measure, plan, implement.
