5th Anniversary Testimonials
“Our Delivery Leads, who took the course with Actineo, came back genuinely changed from it and their teams started to work as ‘a team' right away, and started to create common goals.”

Maria Connor
Agile Coach, Ireland.“My teams are more productive since they have applied the material that I learned in this course. They became more productive and they just get more done.”

Heidi Helfand
Author & Director of Product & Technology Excellence, USA.“We were really not ready to take more work from the client, but they wanted to bring us more work. This was the very reason that allowed me to bring in Agile. Two years later, we had doubled the contract. Not only did it renew, it doubled!”

Rebeca Mendoza
Tax Transformation, Innovation & Projects, Switzerland.“I think what had been a real game changer for us was around the change of mindset in how people collaborate. Having more departments taking part in the developing process collaboratively.”

Mihaela Madzharova
Agile Product Delivery, UK.“We're able to deliver product and value better and that's key. We're better at planning and being more deliberate about what we are doing. We have a better ability to do long term planning too.”

Hugh O'Donoghue
CTO, Ireland.“We're getting more value and features to our customers quicker. We've seen massive growth. I think the way Actineo put the process in place for us to learn and adapt was really successful.”

Head of Delivery, Quality & Agility, Ireland.What People Say About Training with Actineo
โActineo is a very good training company. I live in Italy, but I always try to attend Actineoโs classes in London because of the quality of the training, the friendliness of the organisation and their expertise.
They transfer their knowledge from the trenches because sometimes the material is not enough. When I have a work-related question, they answer it which is very important for me. Not based on theory, not read in a book, but based on experience.
Compared to other classes I have attended in London, the level of participants in Actineoโs classes is very high. I always meet interesting people. I am not a native speaker and I have never had any communication problems in the class. The environment is inclusive from the first minute – you are part of the class and this is very important.โ

Massimo Sarti
Agile Consultant and Organiser of Agile Talks Meetup Group, RomeโThese courses accelerate your learning and theyโre really interactive and youโre able to take what you learn straight into the next working day. Iโve done courses that have really helped me to grow with really quite inspirational facilitators. Thereโs never been a course that Iโve done with Actineo thatโs not given me something back and led to something more.โ

Nel Mathams
Creative Coach, LondonโMy favourite thing about Actineo is that the personal touch. I like to feel valued as a customer. Iโm always picky with who I train with and because of that personal touch, you know you will get quality training. You are trained by people who are still active in the workplace with stories and real-world experience. Theyโre good quality training courses.โ

Glaudia Califano
Agile Coach, LondonโActineoโs course catalogue is quite varied and different from other training organisations. They do a lot of different things which I always enjoy because I like new things. I like the fact that theyโre all extremely interactive.โ

Vlad Mihailescu
Scrum Master and Visual Facilitator, LondonโItโs all that real world experience of doing the thing which makes the real difference between me thinking, โOK โ youโre someone standing in front of a slide deck, reading off the slidesโ to โThis is somebody who has real world, in the trenches experience and knows what it feels like to try to do this thing and that thing and make this work.โ It adds a whole different level of respect for the person stood at the front of the room and gives them a serious boost in credibility because I know that theyโve been there and done that and thatโs why I come back to Actineo to get training rather than go somewhere else. It always feels like thereโs more on offer than just the theory.โ

Lorrayne
Programme Manager, LondonWhat People Say About Actineoโs Advanced Agile Metrics Workshop
โAgile Metrics was phenomenal because we had a play afterwards and we tried some exercises and all that stuff brought it to life much more. The course was just a massive โWow!โ moment for me. Doing it in the class and playing around with the tool and seeing how it worked โ changing data and all that kind of stuff made me confident enough to go to my team when I went back on the Monday to the office and say โRight, from now on, how about we have a crack at this and see if this works and see if it is useful?โ

Paul Brown
Agile Coach & Product Guy, LondonโVery inspiring, thought-provoking and so incredibly insightful. I could keep listening to Dan Vacanti for days.โ

Konrad
Scrum Master, LondonWhat People Say About Actineoโs Consulting Services
“When Actineo were there, the team would make a leap in knowledge and understanding. I could make that leap with them and the organisation was then more accepting of change. We got to a place where we had a more balanced system.
Itโs good to have the help of a mentor to get you on the right track. Itโs great to get confirmation that you are on the right track, but also that the person tunes into your context and helps you find where to go next.
A key moment for me was when new people joined. I didnโt have to help them understand what we were doing and why. Other members of the team would be able to do that without my help and that showed me it was working.
Actineo really helped with fine-tuned training and customised workshops. Iโd recommend them, especially when you want to make a big step change”

Edith Coenen
Agile Coach, London“Weโve learned how to solve our own problems. Actineo had the answers, but rather than give us answers, they helped us find those answers.“
Pete
Applications Architect, Ding.com, Dublin“Actineo opened our mind to do the change, helped us in many ways and made Ding a better place to work.“
