ABOUT EMERGN AND VFQ

Every organization is different, every problem unique, so we work alongside our clients to deliver bespoke solutions. To do that, we blend Agile and Lean principles in consulting, delivery and education.

VFQ is a comprehensive work-based education and learning program. VFQ is researched from hundreds of books and articles from the fields of Agile, Lean, design thinking, systems thinking, management, software, manufacturing and many other disciplines. It provides a condensed view and critique that considers the latest thinking and also traditional views on many topics.

Our philosophy is based on the idea that different people learn in different ways, and that the most impactful learning happens when people understand things and then get to apply those concepts directly in their own work.
