  In our agile workspaces there are no limits to your creativity. Whether SCRUM, Kanban or Design Thinking—this is where we transforms agile thoughts into action. You can find more about our offices here.

• Flexibility:

  To offer you the best possible flexibility, you don’t have to live in one of our locations to work with us: in addition to appointments with clients, you can choose to travel to the office or prefer to work from home. For this reason, you can choose your location as well as your Practice Group - project groups for specific topics - and easily change them over time, if needed. Individual coaching is very important to us. For this purpose, you will be assigned a mentor, in our case a CDC – Career Development Counselor. If you wish, you can easily change your CDC.
