Marjans van Benthem – ViolidisLean & Agile Coach“Through new ways of working, developing new habits” info@scrumacademy.nl https://www.linkedin.com/in/marjansvanbenthem/ Neem contact opAfter working for many years in operations as an executive and program manager, Marjans has been guiding organizations on their Lean-Agile journey since 2010. She focuses on creating movement and increasing ownership within the organization. In addition, as a Lean-Agile trainer, Marjans gives participants tools to develop new habits through new ways of working. And thus contribute to the creation of a Lean-Agile organizational culture. When a young Marjans sits in school and has to do an assignment with her project group, she notices something: not everyone is contributing. And that observation turns out to be a seed for focus in her work. The people-side, the collaboration; these are the focal points of the now experienced Agile specialist. Or as she herself boldly states in this substantive interview , “The way we work together is more important than the content of the work.”
