Summary

Dear Sir or Madam,

My name is Falko Werner, and I would like to express my serious interest in working together. Personally and professionally, I stand for determination, openness, and a clear focus on results. The continuous development of people and organizations is my main concern, which I support, among other things, by actively sharing knowledge and experience.

Since 2013, I have worked as an Agile Coach, Enterprise Architect, and Trainer – first for individual teams, later for larger areas and complete organizations. My focus is on measurable improvements in team performance, both in how teams work together and in terms of results, for example through significantly increased velocity and a consistently high sprint success rate.

In addition, I support consulting projects along the entire value chain – from customer interaction to product further development. In exchange with colleagues, I run workshops, business simulations, and trainings on agile methods (SAFe, LeSS, Scrum, Kanban), product management, enterprise architecture, DevOps, and AI, as well as their practical application.

I would especially like to highlight my recent experience in AI training: Together with other instructors, I designed and delivered innovative training programs several times in 2025.

My professional background combines work in research, consulting, and agencies in roles as managing director, consultant, trainer, coach, project manager, architect, and developer. Projects in different industries (services, automotive, mobility, logistics, energy, insurance, innovation management) further complement my expertise, both in small and medium-sized businesses and in large companies as well as in public administration.

I attach the greatest importance to high-quality results and motivating leadership, and I bring extensive experience from national and international projects. I would be happy to speak with you in person about shared potential and possible assignments.
