Psychological safety, effective communication

• Promoting psychological safety

Markus has been helping companies become successful with agility for more than 20 years. Previously, Markus worked as a software developer and now alternates between the roles of trainer, coach and consultant - depending on what the client’s situation requires.

His focus is on the more invisible aspects of agile change, e.g. trust and effective communication, which make the self-organization of teams effective in the first place; e.g. community building, which makes successful cross-team collaboration possible in the first place; or e.g. the many small interventions and impulses that make a major change to an agile and modern organization successful in the first place.

The promotion of psychological safety is one of the cornerstones of his work.
