About us
The world is changing faster than ever before and Sustainable Outcomes are often neglected. Resiliency demands that you know more and adapt quickly.
Organizations of every size are struggling to remain relevant in the eyes of their customers and society. Customers are more informed, responsible for their future and their expectations are higher than they’ve ever been. Employees demand more clarity, empowerment, and meaning in their work. It is only high-performing, adaptable, and agile organizations who will thrive in this unpredictable market. We call this Sustainable Business Agility.
At its simplest, Sustainable Business Agility is the capacity and willingness of an organization to adapt to, create, leverage, and sustain change for their customer’s benefit. This simple statement exposes the dramatic shift in mindset needed for agile organizations. Where how you respond to the market is reliably more predictable than how the market responds to you.
Our Meetup will start with ONLINE events aiming at interactive talks, lean coffee, fish-bowls and other formats based on context.
Topics in the near future may include: Agile Strategy, Agile HR, Leadership Agility, De-Scaling, Scaling, Agile Procurement, Finance, Legal, Regulation together with R&D, Business, and IT

Carolin Metzner: From Agile Coach to AI Trainer (ONLINE)
·OnlineOnlineChange Doesn't Wait — Neither Should You
A talk by Carolin Metzner, AI Trainer & Consultant
Change rarely arrives on schedule. Sometimes it comes as a slow realization. Sometimes it
arrives as a bankruptcy notice.In this session, Carolin Metzner — AI Trainer, former Agile Coach, and self-described serial pivoter — takes us through a career that has never followed a straight line. From Art History to translator, PR Manager to Project Manager, Agile Coach to AI Trainer: each transition carried its own doubts, detours, and unexpected doors.
Drawing on her own lived experience of navigating change without a map, Carolin invites the audience into the conversation from the very first minute.
Using a Liberating Structures
format, participants will reflect on their own relationship with change — before Carolin uses her story as a mirror for what they share.The talk is honest about the hard parts: being blinded by buzzwords, searching long for the right training, and finding clarity only after the ground gave way.
And it is equally honest about what made the difference: a community of people figuring it out alongside her, and the stubborn refusal to stay at the wall.

Christoph Dibbern: n8n Agents Foster Business Agility (ONLINE)
·OnlineOnlineAI is no longer a side experiment, it is becoming an integral part of how teams organize, deliver value, and scale impact.
In this talk, I share my journey as Team Leader and AI Product Owner of 17 healthy AI agents running in production, designed and orchestrated using n8n-based strategies and technologies. These agents operate as a cross-functional, outcome-oriented team, supporting real business work across Executive Office, HR, Business Development, Marketing, and Sales.
Rather than treating AI as tooling, this setup treats AI agents as team members with clear roles, responsibilities, quality metrics, and collaboration patterns, from Research Manager and Executive Assistant, to Fact-Checker, Flow Master, Content Marketer, Podcast Creator, LinkedIn Expert, Personas, and Sales Support.
The session explores:
• How servant leadership principles translate into AI Product Ownership
• What “team health” means for AI agents in production
• How n8n enables scalable, observable, and adaptable AI workflows
• Why cross-functionality and agility matter just as much for AI teams as for human onesThe talk concludes with an invitation to rethink leadership itself:
If AI agents can be onboarded, coached, measured for health, and led as a cross-functional team, then the real question is no longer whether AI belongs in our organizations, but who is ready to lead it responsibly.About our speaker:

·OnlineOnline**Re-scheduled: Plenum discussion w/ Al Shalloway
About our speaker:
Al Shalloway
My main focus is on helping organizations be able to both provide their own effective, inexpensive training & help consultants & coaches be significantly better. I use my expertise in business agility, value stream management, Flow, Lean, ToC, & patterns to co-create flexible approaches that work at all levels - from small to large organizations. It is a self-serving myth that this requires more effort from the client. Both simplistic and overly complex solutions abound. I aim for pragmatic onesAbout our hosts:
