Currently I am working with a Canadian Insurance company that is using OpenAgile methodology within their organization. They have only used it for 4 weeks and the results are promising.

Just to remind you, Agile methodology came out of the IT environment and has been around for 15+ years. A company called Berteig Consulting, http://www.berteigconsulting.com/ further developed a methodology called OpenAgile.

This more recent version, OpenAgile, (about 18 months old) is much more suitable to any team in any organization. The principles are sound and the methods dramatically develop the capacity of the team to deliver valuable results.

I am currently coaching OpenAgile in two countries in Europe. These 7 teams are sales teams. Four are in traditional agency distribution systems and the the rest are in multi-level organizations. Their results have been significant, positive and impressive.

This method, like anything else, requires leaders, followers and teams to change their thinking. If you want more information go to http://www.openagile.com/
