Ivo’s support is instrumental in taking our agile transformation to next level, including the Business Value definition in a complex global program. Highly recommend his services.

The most useful from working with Ivo was his flexibility and adaptation to our needs.

We worked together for almost two years within the IT organization, where Ivo provided advice and coaching for the majority of our teams within development and infrastructure to improve workflow, as well as advising on the recruitment cycle within Human Resources and improving Employer Branding activities. Ivo is a joy to work with and is incredibly passionate about his art. He would make a great asset to any organisation.

Setting up right context of agile way of working and proper training on process set-up as well as individual managerial tooling training (such as Flow, Delegation etc.)

I think Ivo is great mentor he has a very organized way of presenting things to make you think further and question yourself about your profesional and personal future. He has a passion for what he does and he projects in the program in a very professional way, at the end I kind of changed some of my goals and still I am in the process of reframing and Ivo has been a huge support to me. I feel very lucky to have connected an I am truly thankful for Ivo help and advice.

Ivo helped our team understand details of our process, logically group steps into phases, explain different approaches we can take with enhancing our process and define a more agile way of working. Thank you Ivo, for your support.

Ivo really cares about each member's feelings and feedback. He encourages us to share opinions and try new things. Thanks a lot for your help!

Challenge us and make us reflect on why we make the choices we do.

User Story estimation training was useful in driving progress with our team, assessing effort, and achieving Sprint goals.

Ivo has challenged me in my work so that I have had the oportunity to see things from new angles.

Ivo is extremely competent Agile Coach and Scrum Master. He has deep knowledge about Agile and drive to implement Agile transformation in the organisation. It was great to work with him side by side and observe how he manages to improve team performance and cohesion.

His way of working and approaching things may seem to be a bit odd and sometimes done by the book, but once you accept it and let him help you, you’re set on the right course. Ivo has this ability you don’t often see in most of us - ability to get your attention, get you interested. Most important thing what I’ve learned from him - you need to be open and sincere in communication with others and what you do, acknowledge the problem and seek for a (joint) solution.

Interaction with Ivo was incredibly valuable for me as a growing Scrum Master. We started with Agile Coaching Growth Wheel assessment to understand where I am as a Scrum Master and what would I like to improve next. We defined targets and continued with mentoring sessions where I had an opportunity to dig into my knowledge, share it with Ivo, put on paper and later on try new ways of working with the team.

Ivo was invited as external facilitator for the event, number of times. The most valuable, is the alignment Ivo provided for our internal community, to strengthen our bonds and align on our vision and goals we want to achieve in community.

Helping me to facilitate meetings at the beginning and gave good advice.

What struck me the most was Ivo's preparedness when facilitating or presenting. This is something that I strive to emulate.

His understanding of the team and bringing new ideas

​Ivo is very good at questioning things in a constructive way, while staying true to agile values and mindset. This helps a lot with breaking patterns that exist only because "we've always done things like this", and to ensure any decicions taken are in line with our goals.

Ivo is a very skillful Agile Coach. He truly is a coach - asks the right questions and makes you think of what you actually want to achieve. He has outstanding amount of knowledge and tools for organization and people to grow and become more Agile. Never afraid to tackle complicated situations. During his time with the company he was also was my(SM) mentor - in few months I gained deep understanding in the essence of Scrum. Would totally recommend!

When Ivo landed, we realized that we were working our Agile initiative using all the cadence-based events, but still 'thinking' waterfall. He paradigm shifted our way of working, explaining how scaled Agile was supposed to work. He guided us with understanding, great patience and interesting, easy-to-comprehend techniques, that made sense to even the ones with 'zero to hero' knowledge. A great coach with an outwardly easy, pleasant personality and an inner, tough, mentoring Agile mindset. I, personally, learnt a lot of super concepts.

Ivo has the capacity to bring multiple teams together while propagating the values of Agile. He is a professional who maintains discipline while at the same time he brings about a smile on everyone's faces.

I had a wonderful experience with Ivo being my mentor, my coach. He knows exactly how to lead with his exquisite abilities. Our sessions were interesting and fun filled yet adhering to the knowledge strictly. He uses his experience so lucidly in understanding all the concerns I raised and addressed with ease in no time. I really had a great time of understanding agile and scrum under his mentorship and look forward to more endeavors.

Ivo’s powerful questions in all the meetings we participated together where providing so much insights to all the participants. Our conversations where always providing food for thoughts. Ivo’s sharing of tools and experiences are always helpful…

Interactions and styles

Open attitude, ability to listen, good problem framing.

Ivo posesses true coach mentality. The most I appreciated the customized coaching approach that fit the needs and context of the individual. Ivo has rich toolbelt with methods, concepts and resource to help individual arrive at their own solution in their own pace. I have enjoyed having colleague to discuss mature concepts and always arrive at new ideas. Also I would like to point out impressive workshop template arsenal Ivo has accumulated over time and the workshop facilitation skills. Don't miss out on opportunity to get access to Ivo's library of knowledge!

​Giving a space to discuss things and get positive confirmation on the chosen ideas. Facilitating the common discussion in the team and giving an extra frameworks to apply when managing the team's workload.
