Testimonials
Over the last three days, I have had the chance to undergo the Half Double Foundation Training and Certification. This has provided me with a practical framework on maximizing business impact while also developing myself as a strong and collaborative leader. I am excited to put all the learnings into practice and create meaningful impact into my organization!
Half double focus on better projects, faster. As a hybrid between traditional methods and agile much of what I learned matches what I would intuitively do. However - the extreme focus on early impact versus deliverables at the end of the project is inspiring and we got lots of great tools on how to create flow and show leadership.
I have truly become a fan of how the simple yet effective tools and techniques in Half Double can make a significant difference in terms of impact and speed in project delivery. The Half Double Master certification has been an excellent way to reflect and refine my skills further and document my ability to master the skills required to create Impact, Flow and Leadership in projects.
The Half Double framework offers a comprehensive methodology with a strong focus on impact, flow and leadership. The methodology enables programme leadership to tailor the approach to the specific organisation to maximize the fit through local translation. The Half Double methodology provides me with a hands-on and clear toolbox to handle large digital transformations and change programs. The certification process allowed me to reflect on my practical application of the methodology from previous and current transformation programs and there was a strong focus on self-insight.
