Bringing Agile to companies takes a lot of facilitation and knowledge sharing, that's why I'm an Agile Change Facilitator and trainer. I love helping companies adapt towards a more flexible way of working, help teams to work towards better results and facilitating change management. Using the right techniques at the right time to get people to a new level of understanding about their situation, the job at hand and how to use their energy to get there.
With 10 years of experience in agile tranisitions, I help teams and individuals within organisations through facilitation of meetings and brainstorms, knowledge sharing, trying to ask the right questions at the right time and offering multiple options when looking for solutions. I'm experienced in getting groups with different cultural backgrounds together, helping them to find how they can improve as a collective and achieve their common goals.
I'm a Licensed Management 3.0 Practitioner and Facilitator, Certified LeSS Practitioner, Professional Scrum Master I, Professional Scrum Product Owner I, Lean Change Facilitator, Certified Performance Management Innovator (PMI) and LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® facilitator, Innvoation Games and Liberating Structures practitioner and I practice, mix and match knowledge and techniques however the circumstances call for them.
Fluently trilingual, I love facilitation, moderation, training, high profile customer contacts, issue management, change management, scrum, lean & kanban. I'm also knowledgeable in more technological area's such as IT, the paper industry, industrial printing and enveloping productions and direct marketing, but also very passionateI the HR aspects of agile, which is too often left out of the loop until it's almost too late.

Knowledge and experience
Annelies was wonderful: she took time to answer all our questions. She created a safe environment for us to share ideas and previous experiences. I appreciate the interactive element of the training. We had a lot of opportunities to try out all the new information we got. Good to have a wrap-up at the end: answering our own questions gave me the confidence to start working with what I\'ve learned.
