Core beliefs: Courage | Commitment | Focus | Respect | Openness
I believe that every organisation deserves usable software on a regular cadence that delivers the highest possible value.
By reducing bureaucracy and command and control management, I believe that everyone will take responsibility for achieving the organisation’s goals.
On an evolution towards agility and becoming a great organisation, it is your people that will determine your success. I help the entire organisation agree on methods, goals and cultural values that will enable you to adopt a product-first approach.

Why Learn with Martin Hinshelwood?

I recognise the positive impact that a happy AND motivated workforce, that has a purpose, has on client experience.

I help change mindsets towards a people-first culture, where everyone encourages others to learn and grow. The resulting divergent thinking leads to many different ideas and opportunities for the success of the organisation.

The courseware is designed to elicit conversations between participants on the hard truths of moving from traditional management practices to empirical management practices. Special attention is paid to the known and common misunderstandings of agility as well as the ideas that are usually swept away under the pressures of “how we do things here”.

And finally, I complement formal material with practical experience & stories! I have been delivering software for 20 years, Microsoft MVP in DevOps for 13 years, and a Professional Scrum Trainer for 11 years!
