I am joined on the virtual sofa with co-authors of the book; Agile Bullshit: Discover the most damaging anti-patterns in your organisation and how to avoid them.

We explore the typical anti-patterns that we see everyday as Agile professionals, we take a look at transformation and what needs to happen to pivot how we support organisations, plus we even play a game of Agile Bullshit or Bold Truth.

In this episode of The Agile Mastery Show, I’m joined by Alize Hofmeester — executive coach, Obeya practitioner, keynote speaker, and author of Purpose Driven People.

Alize spent 15 years at ING leading major people and organisational transformations. She understands change from both sides: the human reality and the organisational mechanics. That’s why this conversation goes deeper than models and frameworks.

We get into:

• the role HR should play in transformation — and why it so often doesn’t

• the story behind Purpose Driven People and the shifts she’s seeing across organisations

• what Obeya actually is, why leaders struggle with it, and how to make it work in practice

• the difference between coaching teams and coaching senior leaders

• the changes coming in the next 3–5 years across HR, Agile, people leadership, and strategic alignment

A grounded, honest discussion with someone who has lived the complexity of real transformation.

Scrum Masters don’t exist to “run ceremonies” — they exist to build high-performing teams and make that performance repeatable. Steve unpacks the mindset, mechanics, and measures that turn a good team into a consistently great one. Using the Formula 1 pit-stop and orchestra/conductor analogies, you’ll learn how to create flow through clarity, cadence, and connection — and how to engineer those conditions in real product and service teams.

• How to remove the three performance killers: external constraints, internal constraints, and culture.

• Escalating with evidence, not emotion (simple stakeholder system that gets action).

• Curiosity and root-cause habits to stop repeat failures.

• Practical culture levers for remote/hybrid teams (trust, accountability, psychological safety).

• A metrics toolkit (OKRs, cycle time, lead time, happiness) to prove impact before/after.
