Grow Your Own Consultants and Create Your Own Path Forward
Use the Amplio Consultant Educators curriculum track to create great internal leaders for improvement.
More people are going out on their own and not relying on external frameworks. This is often more effective, and certainly less expensive. On the plus side it has people who know your challenges lead the charge. It also enables tailoring of what’s needed in ways the popular frameworks don’t provide.
But it has the risk that your staff may not have been exposed to certain practices that would be useful, if not are essential, for your organization. Many Agile coaches have not been trained well in how to coach others and fewer still know how to talk to executives and managers in new approaches.
Amplio University has a special program for the situation many executives now find themselves in:
- a desire to go Agile
- having a few people who know how to do Agile but not enough to forget the transition
- limited training / consulting budges
- the need to enroll the rest of the organization in the path the executive sees
- a fearful situation where if they make a misstep their careers will be hampered
Success Engineering recognizes these problems and has put together a plan just for you, if you’re in this situation.
It blends increasing the ability of your staff while providing you a minimal, but sufficient amount consulting by an industry thought leader to get things started.
Here’s how it works. For $10,000 you get:
- 2 of your staff enrolled in Amplio University for six months. This gives them access to all of the materials used in the program (PowerPoints, collaboration boards) while they are in the program.
- 4 days of remote consulting by Al Shalloway in 2 hour increments. This includes presentions to executives and product managers as needed.
This enables you to get an expert start while having your own staff be able to continue the improvements.
Larger organizations can purchase this for each group interested.
The benefits of this approach
Whether you bring in an outside consultant to help you get started, your people will be in charge. This will save you tens of thousands of dollars that would otherwise go to external consultants. And treating your people right leads to loyalty. By being there all of the time, they can easily create ongoing learning programs for the rest of your staff.
You can control the pace of adoption more easily.
You have people who are active in the day-to-day activities, seeing what’s happening.
Build your own or extend an existing framework.
Amplio provides methods for you to create your own approach customized to you or to extend another approach such as Disciplined Agile, SAFe, Scrum@Scale or any other method.
Already doing Scrum @ Scale, Disciplined Agile, or SAFe and just want to get better?

Your team gets ongoing support while in the program
Amplio University includes almost daily sessions to get questions asked and answered. Your staff essentially will have an expert on hand when needed.
