Gerd Wessling

Scagilize Founder & Principal (Agile/Hybrid) Coach, Consultant and Trainer

I very much LOVE facilitating trainings (remote and in person) & events/kick-off/conferences. And I love helping organizations & individuals to find the perfect match between problems and suitable solutions/methods (rather than the opposite, like "forcing" a specific solution on any kind of problem).

Sometimes alone; but very often in fantastic teams of very skilled professionals from my various network partners – and now als my own company Scagilize! And based on the feedback of my many (+3.500 in the last 9 years) training participants – as well as my consulting & coaching clients – I seem to be rather good at that :)

„ ... never before have I been so intensively looked after in a training session and tailored to my needs ...“

„Two days packed with information and knowledge - and all in a very entertaining way. I liked it very much."

„It is obvious that the trainer has extensive experience in the subject matter, which enables him to convey the complex content in a clear manner. He was able to answer all questions fully at all times and put himself in the shoes of the questioners."

"Gerd succeeded in transferring his own positive and motivated attitude to the course participants right to the end. This resulted in interesting technical discussions that moved the heterogeneous team forward as a whole."

"It was an exceptional online course experience. Excellently prepared learning material and a highly professional instructor. For anyone looking to take a SAFe POPM course. I highly recommend Scagilize."

"It was impressive to see with what calmness, clarity and professional Gerd Wessling and his team successfully prepared, launched and accompanied the first SAFe ART at our organisation - and that in an environment of 40,000 employees who had previously worked in a strongly phase-oriented way."

"Gerd Wessling and his team provided excellent technical and change management support for the global roll-out of our CRM system over several years. Thank you for that!"
