Just finished putting together a booklet on my musings on business agility: Business Agility Unlocked – Evolving Work, Culture, and Flow. This compilation of essays and blog posts is about how true agility comes from systemic thinking, leadership commitment, and a culture of continuous learning—not just adopting the latest framework.
The booklet suggests practical patterns and principles for customizing agility to your organization’s unique context. It’s meant as a companion for leaders and change agents looking to drive sustainable transformation:
Hi, I’m Mario – retired agility warrior from a major Swiss bank, beyond agile explorer, lean thinker, former rugby player, and wishful golfer.
I’ve been in the agile space since 2008. I began consulting in 2012 with a Scrum adoption in a digital identity unit — and that path eventually led me to design an Agile Operating System at organisational scale.
What pushed me further was frustration: poor adoption, illusionary scaling, and “agile” that looks busy but doesn’t improve business outcomes.
That’s why I developed the Adaptive Fitness System (AFS) — an approach that treats agility as fitness for change: fit for purpose, fit for context, fit for execution, and fit for continuous improvement. Today, I use AFS to help organisations sense what’s real, learn fast, and adapt with intent.
