Building Agile CulturesC N Mohan

With over 20+ years of experience in the industry. My domains range from Telecom to Banking to Automotive Industry. I have worked in both software and non- software organizations. Currently I am the Founder and CEO of PRAXIS STRATEGY CONSULTING.

As William Shakespeare says " All the world is a stage and one man in his time plays many parts", I have played many roles in my life and the nearest to my heart is that of being to that of being an Agile Coach. Various organizations have provided me ample opportunities to grow and play in many of the above roles.

I am an eternal student in life who believes that learning happens by sharing and also am a hardcore Agilist who believes in the Values and Principles of Agile. I love transforming Organizations to Agile by engaging and creating a Culture of Leaders at all Levels. I personally feel that Agile is all about transforming oneself from inside out.

Apart from being an Agilist in Heart, I am also an Electronics hobbyist. I have a 11 year old son who is my Best Friend and keeps me on my toes to be motivated to learn all through my life.
