My Philosophy of Change
I think my work can be summed up pretty well in a quote from a client, who said "if you're not ready for change, don't call Michael." That felt like a real compliment, and also a powerful summary of my life's mission...in a word, my purpose is "transformation." This purpose has evolved of late to be specifically "transforming transformers", as I focus my teaching, systemic healing and shadow consulting work on growing change agents.
Randolf Speigner
I am a seasoned Transformation Guide with 20+ years of experience at the intersection of digital innovation and social–cultural change. My career unfolds in three stages:
Leadership & Delivery: At the early high-tech startup bwin and later at Accenture, I led large-scale, distributed international programs with up to 200 developers. Reporting directly to COOs and Managing Directors, I pioneered the introduction of agile product development models in highly complex and regulated environments.
Enterprise Agile Coaching & Unit Building: At Accenture-SolutionsIQ, I co-led the build-up of a consulting unit of ~80 Agile Transformation Consultants. In numerous corporate transformations (Telco, Banking, Insurance, Pharma), I served as Head Coach, working closely with C-level stakeholders and guiding organizations from hierarchical models toward adaptive, networked structures.
Holistic Transformation & Leadership Development: As founder of CoGrow.Space, I design and lead cohort-based learning and development programs that integrate systemic transformation and leadership development, creating epicenters of regenerative enterprise transformation. As Faculty Member at The Collective Edge, I train experienced Enterprise Agile Coaches and Transformation Leaders from leading global organizations.
