A note from our Founder & Chief Consultant
Bee Agile can bridge the gap between reality and possibility
Hi, I’m Aina Alive, and we care about getting the right results for you. That’s why our approach is diagnostic and integration-focused.
Before creating your framework, we consider how Agile will fit into your company’s culture, industry regulations and standards, and your vision and high-level goals.
We know you’re not just about following trends, and we equip you to create Agile transformations that are lasting and scalable.
Frequently asked questions
What others have been asking
1. What are your travel conditions for on-site Agile transformations?
My team and I are open to traveling so we can personally assist your organization in the diagnostic and framework creation phases. The latter part of the process is hybrid: part on-site (needs-based) and part virtual.
2. How soon can our organization become Agile?
Implementing Agile isn’t simply about teaching your leaders and teams a few tools. At Bee Agile, we start with a culture and mindset shift and ease everyone into the process, gathering feedback at every phase. This makes the transformation more sustainable and usually takes six months to a year, depending on your readiness indicators and individual pace of adoption.
3. How are the boot camps delivered?
The boot camps can be delivered virtually or onsite, depending on your needs.
4. What’s the difference between an Agile consultant and a Scrum Master?
A Scrum Master is dedicated to 1-2 teams and plays a servant leadership role in monitoring the pulse of the team.
As Agile consultants, we see the organization as a whole – not just on a team level. We can zoom in and out as required, formulate strategy, coach on mindset, and guide organizations on choosing Agile frameworks that work for them.
Make Agile count for your organization
Being customer-focused, profit-focused, and employee-focused don’t have to be at odds with each other.
