4. About
Temenos+Agilit
y
Temenos+Agility is a Global Management Consulting firm based out of
Washington D.C, USA with offices in Toronto, London, India and New
Zealand.
We are a SAFe® SPCT Gold partner and have assisted leading companies
across the world to achieve sustainable Agile and Cultural Transformation
by way of our Enterprise Agility and cultural change consulting, training and
hands-on Agile Coaching.
Change can be hard to implement for any organization. An Agile
transformation is a mindset shift and a massive change at the team as well
as the Enterprise level. This is where our Temenos framework comes in.
Here, we communicate, tool and educate our partners that Agile adoption
begins at the individual level and an organization achieves a successful
Agile transformation only if Agile mindset is adopted at this granular level.
Temenos helps with mapping individual goals with teams and
organizational goals to facilitate high performing teams.
