It all started with the customer problem: Companies were making enormous investments into Agile transformations with the result that teams were now working in agile silos instead of functional silos, a lack of collaboration across agile teams, and a transformation that failed or fell asleep.

That led Dr. Klaus Leopold to design a new thinking model called “Flight Levels”. When Klaus began sharing his thoughts during several international conferences, regardless of country, the audience returned with the same feedback “that’s the exact story of my company”.

With that in mind, Klaus wrote the book “Rethinking Agile: Why Agile Teams Have Nothing To Do With Business Agility”.

Since the market demand was enormous and the idea of using the Flight Levels model was taking off, we knew that Klaus couldn’t help all these companies simultaneously, which resulted in founding the Flight Levels Academy (FLA).

and today?
