The ADapT Community

Agile-ADapT® is grounded in years of real-world experience.
Since 2017, a global team of coaches, executives, and change agents have shaped and refined it into a practical and principled transformation model.

What began with a technology focus quickly expanded to a broader view – integrating strategy, customer needs, and organizational agility.

The model draws from:

Agile-, Design-, Lean- Thinking
First Principles Thinking
Innovation Strategy
Jobs-to-be-Done & Business Model Design

ADapT is more than a model – it’s a shared language for change.

Testimonials

"A rare combination of a fine strategic mind, unimpeachable ethics, and hard-driving competence… They have the ability to step into the unknown with courage but to calculate the options realistically… with knowledge both deep and wide… my go-to for where Business and IT connects."

"It would not be an exaggeration to say that learning from them gave me much more than what I expected. The coaching and advice given, set me on a path that enables me to confidently switch the direction of my business and pass the benefits onto my own clients."

" … insights on the touchpoint between business and technology are unequaled. They can make the complex seem straightforward, sharing knowledge in a very practical manner. (This) knowledge have greatly benefitted us and enabled us to tackle complex organizational issues successfully. "

"What they do cuts through all of the noise and provides a clear common-sense approach to strategy, technology, innovation, and transformation… it’s obvious, it’s simple and their thought leadership is profoundly relevant…"

"What you are about to discover in this volume of ADapT, continues the common-sense approach of innovating innovation – using well-known methods, but applying it in a way that has yet to be used: removing the complexity and reducing innovation to a simple, easy-to-follow process. It’s Brilliant!"

Become a Partner

If you are running a consulting practice and would like to make ADapT part of your offering, chat with Johann. We will work out an engagement model that will work for you and your business.

We provide an apprenticeship/mentorship development model combining formal education with on-the-job learning-by-doing, where your consultants can learn at your customers under the tutelage of a transformation expert.

This approach enables real and deep skill transfer, allowing consultants to operate independently, quickly, and with meaningful and genuine experience.

The most significant benefit of this approach is that your consultants don’t only learn what to do, but also what not to do (based on years of experience gained by their mentor).
