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

Al Shalloway: Taking a Pareto Approach to Jobs To be Done (ONLINE)
·OnlineOnlineMost teams don’t struggle with understanding Jobs to Be Done—they struggle with applying it without overcomplicating everything. This webinar introduces a practical, Pareto-based approach: how to get 80% of the value from JTBD with 20% of the effort. Instead of turning JTBD into a heavyweight process, we focus on a few critical shifts that change how you see your work. First, shifting perspective—from features and solutions to the customer’s objective. Then, using the customer value stream to uncover the real “jobs” embedded in each step of their experience. This alone often reveals gaps, delays, and missed opportunities that traditional approaches overlook.
From there, we challenge a common assumption: that user stories are the best way to represent customer needs. While useful, they often blur problems and solutions together, limiting clarity and learning. We’ll explore how reframing work through objective stories creates a cleaner connection between customer intent and what teams build—making it easier to discover value, not just deliver features. You’ll leave with a simple, actionable way to introduce JTBD into your organization—without a transformation effort—so you can start improving alignment, decision-making, and value delivery immediately.
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:

René is a business administration graduate and agile project manager with a background spanning sales, marketing, consulting, and finance – across corporates, start-ups, and non-profits alike.
One conviction has grown stronger with every role: Organizational agility is still in its infancy. Agile thinking isn't a software thing – it's an organizational thing. The principles that help teams ship better products can equally transform how a finance department plans, how a non-profit runs campaigns, or how a sales team adapts to a shifting market.
As a planning committee member of the Business Agility Meetup Berlin, René is here to connect, challenge, and learn alongside everyone in the room.13 attendees
