While holding others to high standards, KSTS Consulting strives to keep its own bar very high. KSTS Consulting holds the highest industry credentials (see below), from the most reputable, world-recognized organizations, as well as has its own, proven track record of accomplishments.  Since agility must exist in all organizational domains: technology, operations, HR & finance, sales & marketing, vendor management and customer service – KSTS Consulting works closely with all organizational verticals, and this is why the company’s primary focus is on organizational design (the first-order factor that defines system dynamics), followed by culture, norms, behaviors, processes and tools.  KSTS Consulting can engage and add value at any organizational level: from senior leadership to teams and individuals.  KSTS Consulting is the only company in the United States  that has the credential of a Certified LeSS Coaching Company.

Gene Gendel is the co-founder of KSTS Consulting.  Gene is an organizational design consultant, adaptive & lean coach and trainer, and independent adviser to senior leadership.  Gene is a widely recognized, world-class trainer/instructor, and is mainly focused on organizational design and product centricity, the experience for which he has gained, over the decades of deeply embedded coaching and consulting.  Gene’s clients represent a wide industry spectrum.  Almost 15 of 20+ years of his professional experience Gene  has dedicated to working with companies of various sizes and lines of business, trying to help them improve internal dynamics, organizational structure and becoming a better place  for people to work in.  Gene engages at all organizational levels: senior- and mid-level management, teams and individuals.  In his work,  Gene uses various methods, tools and techniques to amplify learning of other people and to ensure that his followers gain autonomy after Gene “coaches himself out of the job”.  Over the last decade, Gene’s big focus has been on large financial institutions and consulting companies that struggle with moving away, from traditional budgets and portfolio/program/project work decomposition, towards more adaptive/flexible budgeting and better clearly products (product-centric, customer-focused development).

Gene’s, highly in-demand LeSS classesand product discovery & definition workshops, both private and public, are based on advanced system modelling and rich exosystemic perspective that includes intra-organizational dynamics and market realities.  Since 2015, Gene has built the largest, fastest growing and the most active global Large Scale Scrum community, counting close to 6500 members, from around the world.
