Tomasz Grochowski

I am a seasoned Agile and project management expert, having spearheaded numerous organisational changes focused on optimising project management methods and pioneering agile transformations. With a keen expertise in implementing agile practices, I adeptly utilise frameworks such as Scrum, Kanban, Scrum@Scale, Helix Organisation, SAFe, and employ the principles of Analytic-Network Coaching.
My passion lies in aiding organisations to craft progressive management models, drawing inspiration from turquoise and human-centric philosophies, thereby reimagining traditional structures to resonate more authentically with the contemporary business environment.
I am also the proud host of the 'Projektownia' podcast, a collaborative venture produced in association with the PMI Poland Chapter. This platform, alongside my longstanding voluntary commitment to the Project Management Institute and being an alumnus of the PMI Leadership Institute Master Class, underscores my dedication to the evolving world of project management.
Outside of my professional pursuits, I'm an enthusiastic cave diver. Both projects and cave diving fuel my relentless pursuit for continual refinement, innovation, and transcending established boundaries.
