AGILITY
IS WITHIN REACH
Partnering with senior leaders to turn agile aspirations into measurable transformation results.
I’m Steve Martin, an experienced Agile Transformation Consultant who has guided organisations across Europe and through complex change. For nearly two decades, I’ve helped senior leaders accelerate transformation initiatives, align leadership teams, and develop the internal capability needed to sustain agility long after external consultants leave. My work spans from executive strategy workshops and operating model design, to building the confidence and effectiveness of Scrum Masters, Product Owners, and change leaders across the enterprise.
I believe agility is not a methodology but a leadership capability. Transformation succeeds when leaders are equipped to adapt, align, and empower people — not when teams simply “follow the ceremonies.” That’s why my approach blends strategic alignment with practical interventions: leadership development, coaching, and hands-on workshops that tackle real organisational blockers. The result? Stronger flow, faster delivery of value, and a workforce that’s confident in driving change.
"As a senior leader it has provided me with the opportunity to really think about the shape of my team, understand the challenges we face."

"Steve has been able to turn Agile into something that is incredibly easy to understand and with the right groundwork, easy to implement."

THE IMPACT OF BUILDING CHANGE CAPABILITY
When leaders invest in the right development, agility stops being a theory in PowerPoint and starts delivering results across the organisation.
Every transformation succeeds or stalls on the strength of its people. By equipping Scrum Masters, leaders, and change agents with the skills to drive alignment, resolve systemic blockers, and foster collaboration, you create the conditions for agility to thrive.
The benefits go beyond improved team rituals — they translate into measurable organisational performance: faster time-to-value, stronger leadership capacity, and a transformation that sticks.
ACCELERATED ORGANISATIONAL AGILITY
Move from “doing Agile” at the team level to embedding agility in strategy, governance, and culture.
STRONGER LEADERSHIP PIPELINE FOR CHANGE
Develop Scrum Masters as change leaders, not just facilitators — giving HR and programme leaders a trusted bench of internal capability to sustain transformation.
FASTER TIME TO VALUE
Workshops focus on practical, immediately-deployable techniques that reduce delivery friction, shorten feedback loops, and align strategy to execution.

Deliver programmes with higher predictability, reduced cycle times, and faster realisation of value.
ORGANISATIONAL ALIGNMENT ACROSS FUNCTIONS

SUSTAINABLE TALENT & CAPABILITY DEVELOPMENT
Equip leaders, coaches, and Scrum Masters with skills that outlast external consultants.
HOW I WORK
Every engagement begins with getting a full understanding of where you are right now. We start by diagnosing the biggest blockers to agility in your organisation — using structured assessments, facilitated workshops, and executive conversations. This ensures we focus on the few critical challenges that matter most, rather than spreading effort across generic initiatives. From there, we co-create a tailored roadmap that aligns leadership, delivery teams, and governance around measurable outcomes.
Execution is collaborative and adaptive. I work alongside your leaders and teams, embedding practices that build capability, confidence, and momentum. Rather than imposing a one-size-fits-all model, I provide frameworks that evolve with your organisation, ensuring change is practical, visible, and sustainable. The result is transformation that takes root organically — driven by your own people and reinforced by evidence of success.

WHAT I BRING
When leaders invest in the right development, agility stops being a theory in PowerPoint and starts delivering major impactful results right across the organisation.
Every transformation succeeds or stalls on the strength of its people. By equipping Scrum Masters, leaders, and change agents with the skills to drive alignment, resolve systemic blockers, and foster collaboration, you create the conditions for agility to thrive.

WHAT MAKES ME DIFFERENT?
Most large consultancies arrive with a pre-packaged playbook, leaving behind slide decks and dependency. My approach is different. I focus on developing in-house talent, equipping leaders and teams with the skills, behaviours, and confidence to drive transformation long after I’ve stepped away. This ensures capability is built where it matters most — inside your organisation.
I also place equal emphasis on measurable, visible success. Together, we define clear outcomes and key measures from the outset, so progress is transparent and impact is undeniable. My tailored frameworks for organic transformation are shaped by years of hands-on experience with some of the world’s biggest brands. Every engagement is adapted to context, not imposed from theory — ensuring your transformation is sustainable, practical, and embedded in the reality of how your business works.
