Independent Consultant.
Founder. Builder. Author.

I build and transform products, organizations and operating systems.

For more than two decades, I’ve worked between technology, business, people and execution — including independent consulting mandates for major corporations and building companies of my own.

Independent consulting

Inside complex organizations.

Over the years I was brought into corporations and transformation programs as an independent consultant, project lead and delivery specialist — usually where products, teams, strategy and execution had stopped fitting together.

Founder story

Then I built my own company.

agil.bz Agiles Bildungszentrum

Founder · Curriculum Architect · Lead Trainer

I built the learning architecture and course formats from scratch and taught more than 2,000 learners — helping people move beyond certification and into real Scrum, Product, Leadership and Agile Coaching roles.

The goal was never to teach a framework by heart. It was to build enough capability that people could actually work with it.

How I work

Frameworks are tools.
Flow is the test.

I’ve used Scrum, SAFe, Spotify, Flight Levels, Lean, Kanban and OKRs. I’m not attached to frameworks. I’m interested in whether work actually moves.

  1. 01Find the right problem.

    Speed is useless when the organization is solving the wrong thing.

  2. 02Make the system visible.

    Dependencies, decisions, roles and flow should not live in people’s heads.

  3. 03Connect strategy and execution.

    A roadmap matters when it changes what work gets done next.

  4. 04Evidence over assumptions.

    Opinion starts the conversation. Evidence changes the decision.

  5. 05Build capability, not dependency.

    A system should become stronger when the consultant leaves.

“If you are looking for someone to organize your project, Mr. Ermis is not the right person. However, if you book Mr. Ermis, you will probably know what kind of project you should organize.”

Books & ideas

The difficult part happens before the backlog.

Ideas are easy. Deciding which assumptions deserve evidence — and which ideas deserve a team — is harder. This book is about that space.
