Beyond Agile Booklet

This is the second booklet in my agile musings series: Beyond Agile – Essays on Effectiveness, Flow, and the Limits of Methodology, and it captures my views on how the actual state of Agile can be improved at the organizational level. It contains a series of essays and posts that invite the reflection about ways to leverage the agile philosophy and ways if thinking.

Hi, I’m Mario – a retired agility warrior from a major Swiss bank, beyond agile explorer, lean thinker, former rugby player, and wishful golfer. What frustrates me most? Poor agile adoption, illusionary scaling, and the lack of true business agility. I believe agility should fit purpose, context, and practice – and continuously evolve. Active in the agile space since 2008, my consulting journey began in 2012, helping a digital identity unit adopt Scrum at team level. That work led to the design of an Agile Operating System for the entire organization. Today, as an independent consultant, I help organizations unlock sustainable agility – guided by adaptive intelligence: sensing challenges, learning fast, and adapting with purpose.
