Our flagship training offering is The Berteig Consulting four-day Agile Work Intensive course. This course is designed to ensure the attendees learn all they need about agile methods, make the needed mental shift towards agile concepts, and start the change in their habits of behavior. It does this in the following ways:

• Extensive simulation and discussion exercises
• Opportunity for participants to see agile methods modeled (demonstrated) by the instructors in the running of the course itself
• Several "Aha!" exercises designed to viscerally affect attendees' mental models
• Reflective exercises about the learning process itself
• Workshops to examine your corporate culture and how agile methods will fit in
• Full disclosure of the difficulty of implementing agile methods and the radical change of thinking required
• And of course, sufficient time for in-depth coverage of the materials so that most questions can be answered

Even with exceptionally effective training, it is critical to engage a coach to help your teams as they actually apply the agile principles and practices. This guidance ensures that the mental shift that is started in the training is not discarded when the inevitable challenges of applying agile occur.
