I would definitely recommend Danny if you want to change your companies way of working."

 

MARCUS VEEN

System Architect

"Danny successfully turned around our immense and complex waterfall project into a Hybrid Agile organization.

 

Danny's guidance was not just theoretical but highly practical.

 

He led the transformation of our organization from a waterfall approach to a much more productive Hybrid Agile way of working.

 

He educated the organization in his Elite Agile Framework (HAF), which started to run smoothly and deliver results much faster.

 

His focus on creating and developing people and teams that work together was instrumental in supporting those who needed it to become reliable in delivery."

got started on the Hybrid Agile project.

 

He brought structure, in a big program, the way of working,
also how to overcome resistance."

"Danny is an enthusiastic Agile Coach with a lot of great ideas to develop the Agile way of working in more traditional organizations.

 

He developed the Hybrid Agile Framework to connect traditional project management with the Agile way of working. This framework was very useful for a huge project, the Smart Steel Factory.

 

He sped up the project to change the way of working and make it more resilient and adaptive."

"Danny is a great leader (mentor) who will not only deliver great work but also be a fun and great colleague.

 

Danny has implemented the Agile way of working on the SSF program. He was the lead and mentored other scrum masters.

 

His ideas improved the efficiency in communication, delivery, and fun in working and changed the Waterfall way of working to an Agile way of working by implementing Scrum and more."

 

YUNUS UGULLU

Scrum Master
Capgemini for Tata Steel Netherlands

"A very experienced and driven Agile consultant / Scrum master with the ability to motivate others to change and improve their Way of Working.

 

Danny implemented the Hybrid Agile Framework (including the necessary tooling) in the SSF program at Tatasteel Netherlands."

 

By implementing the Hybrid Agile Framework and tooling, a better overview of activities and roadmap was created with more insight into the dependencies.

 

Overall prioritization was made possible, and in the same way, working resources could be easily exchanged."

 

RON PLOEG

Scrum Master
Sogeti for Tata Steel Netherlands

"Danny is very good at building bridges and trusting the team. When you need a scrum master to unlock the team, he is the go-to guy.

 

Danny's instrumental role in setting up the structure of the 15+ agile teams within the program is a clear demonstration of his organizational prowess. He ensured that these teams had the necessary support to transition into agile/high-performing teams.

 

Danny provided a framework that works as Agile as possible within a large, inherent waterfall project consisting of many large go-live events."

Danny supported the teams with planning, etc., helping them move to become a mature team and encouraging them to follow agile practices within a waterfall environment.

 

Danny improved stakeholder communication and introduced a new way of working (WoW), the Hybrid Agile Framework."

Roadmap Lead
Tata Steel Consultancy (TCS) for Tata Steel Netherlands

"Danny has set out clear lines and actions towards Agile in a short period of time and realized the changes together with Lead (structure, focus, and involvement).

 

In addition, he was well connected to various Squad meetings and due to his way of providing supportive direction, the effectiveness of the Scrum events quickly improved.

 

His way of working ensured an excellent collaboration with colleagues.

 

In addition, he introduced a dynamic form of SWOT analysis during an out-of-office day, which has given a big boost to the tribe feeling of the 3 Squads and booted the creativity of the entire Rayon."

 

GERT MELINGA

"Danny did a great job in maturing several Agile Scrum teams within ABN AMRO Clearing Bank N.V. (AACB).

 

Next to his skills as Scrum Master, Danny also acted as coach for junior Scrum Masters and volunteered to help out with our senior managers to make next steps in the maturing of the Agile Grid structure within AACB."

 

BARRY POLAK

IT Grid Owner
ABN AMRO Clearing Bank N.V.

"During our time working together, Danny has brought structure and processes that we did not have before.

 

That allowed the team to excel in their performance and to become
more efficient and productive than before.

 

I have found Danny to be a high-performing, excellent communicator,
and a very team-oriented, all-around good colleague.

 

His professionalism and experience in the Agile way of working
allowed others around him to grow both professionally and personally.

 

His understanding of people, how they work, and what they need to perform, allowed him to remove internal and external impediments
the team was facing and constantly push us forward to successful delivery.

 

Danny became a close colleague to us all, and a valued member of the team."

 

HORACE LUBLINSKI

Senior Business Developer
ABN AMRO Clearing Bank N.V.

"Danny is very experienced and has helped me to implement a new Agile working method in my new team.

 

He quickly knows what is going on and what will work in a team.

 

Danny can explain that well and because of his natural way of doing things, his clear way of communicating and his enthusiasm, quickly accepted by the team."

 

EDWIN WILLEMSE

"District Lead Advisory Team Wealth"
Rayon Noord Nederland ING Nederland

"Danny is a person who works thoroughly and in his spare time had already made the necessary preparations to make a solid start.

 

He entered a team that did not yet have the necessary experience with Agile working through the Scrum methodology. So it was important to get "Scrumming" up to speed.

 

In addition, and I think at least so important, Danny has put a lot of effort into making the team a team and getting the employees who were quite skeptical about the Agile way of working, to accept this way of working, showing that Danny has the capabilities to form a group of individuals into a team who go for it and above all have fun in their work."

 

ERICK TEN HAGE

Work Package Manager
Thales Netherlands

"Danny quickly identified the bottlenecks in the IT organization and office automation and developed and proposed practical solutions.

  • Regarding Office automation

  • Security ‐ PEN‐testing

  • ISO and GDPR preparation

  • Ticketing issues and solving

  • Web site hosting Regarding Software Development

  • implementation of an ESB Enterprise Service Bus

  • making the Mendix-based application scalable

Danny was very enthusiastic and involved."

"Executive Director"

RAD (Early Agile)

I have extensive experience with predecessors of the Agile way of working.

This predecessors were known as 'Evolutionary Development' and Rapid Application Development (RAD).

Since 2007 I have been using the typical Agile, Agile Scrum, and Large Scale Scrum methods.

A born Servant Leader

Being too much Alfa does not help the people in an organization. Too soft also does not help them. However, being Alfa when needed and being "soft" when needed is the perfect combination.

It's all about balance.

The metaphor I use is the benign silverback gorilla. He is Alfa when his tribe needs it and he is soft when his tribe needs that.

This metaphor is strong, clarifies, and gives direction to management and teams on how to move towards an Elite Agile organization.

Experienced coach and trainer

Over more than 20 years, I have gained extensive experience in developing and giving workshops. In facilitating courses, coaching teams, and coaching the different management layers in an organization.

Entrepeneur

In the nineties, I executed many projects from my consultancy and turnkey software development company. Also, during that period, I placed many application developers, mainly in the financial sector.

Next to my consultancy work, I have run, together with my spouse, a successful B2C online platform, since 2013. Mainly on IT web and API technology, but also on the part of behavioral change, which is crucial for Agile transitions.

Applied Psychology

In 1998 I started an in-depth study of applied psychology, a study that proves its value every day in my work with teams and transitions in organizations as a certified coach.

A host of experience

All this has led to a unique skill-set; 24 years+ management experience, 20 years+ entrepreneurship, 25 years+ IT experience, 20 years+ experience in coaching, and over 14 years of experience in developing and giving trainings.

Guaranteed added value

Due to all learning experiences, I went through in the past, it became possible for me to deliver significant added value for organizations in different roles. Roles like; Senior Agile Coach, Senior Scrum Master, Senior Product Owner, and Senior Trainer.

Continuously delivering Real added value

It is important to me that I can continuously deliver real added value to organizations. Therefore, I will do everything I can do to realize this, always in line with the organization what the organization needs.
