About us

We founded Amazing Outcomes to solve a challenge we see in many established companies: They all have great ideas about how to serve their customers and create business success, however, they take a long time and incur a lot of costs to implement their ideas — many times just to discover that their ideas do not meet their customers' and their own expectations.

We know from experience that building great products does not have to take years and millions of budgets. That's why we founded Amazing Outcomes. To help companies build better products, faster.

What our clients say:

Sto SE & Co. KGaA

"The Plug & Play Scrum team at Amazing Outcomes developed a release-ready product in just six weeks. They tested the product with our customers during development, so we knew early on that we were developing the right product. What really distinguished our collaboration was not only the speed and quality, but also the team's empirical approach and the positive culture change they created in our company. We learned a lot as a result!"

Gürdal Ergüven, Chief Information Officer (CIO)

Testo SE & Co. KGaA

"Johannes is my go-to trainer since many years for all things agile – he’s done Scrum, Kanban, Business Agility and Product Owner trainings for us and you can rely and trust in a great outcome. He not only can bring across the methods but also the meaning and reasons behind them and it is with this understanding of the “why” that what you learn sticks also after the training. I’m also impressed that he practices what he preaches in that he is always experimenting and improving the trainings so that you will always see something new. So, highly recommended!"

Johan Falck, Chief Information Officer (CIO)

 

"The training goal was to develop a common understanding of Scrum on our team. Due to COVID-19, the training was online, which was a big benefit as this is how we work daily. It had a strong practical focus and a good portion of fun which was very motivating! Already in the training, we could see our impediments more clearly and decided how to approach them. 2.5 months after the training, we see many positive results: We got a lot more done than everybody expected, with higher quality than before. It also helped us work as a team in COVID-19 times. Even the initial doubters don‘t want to go back to the old way of working! I can highly recommend working with Johannes — not only in trainings but also as a coach."

Dörte Witkovsky, Scrum Master

RWE Renewables

"We have had great feedback coming from the teams supporting our Product Owners: They are impressed how the PO’s have restructured the way they work due to the 'Amazing Outcomes training' which they attended. This is being directly translated to how they work, so again thanks for the quality training you have provided us so far!"

John Celliers, Program Manager, Digital Transformation

 

"This was the first time our globally distributed team ran a Design Sprint. Not only did we experience a new approach to solving challenges fast and getting to know user needs better, we also grew as a team! Thank you, Johannes, for facilitating this fun, 'brutally fast' and very valuable process."

Max Ostrowski, Team Lead Scouting Deutschland

Vaillant Group

"Finally, the term ‚agility‘ is no longer a buzzword without content. Johannes and Claus-Peter communicated its meaning, principles and practices in a vivid and playful way and worked out the effects on contracts with us. Customer-oriented, friendly and to the point. Absolutely recommendable!"

Dr. Nicolai Seitz, General Counsel

 

"We have been developing our products in an agile way since 2013, and the Amazing Outcomes team has been very supportive. I appreciate the experience, quality and vision that Amazing Outcomes brings to the table to help our entire organization move forward. That is extremely valuable to me."

Oliver Schwarz, Head of Smart Customer Solutions

Drägerwerk AG & Co. KGaA

"The PSM I course from Johannes Geske is a great example of time and money well spent. It is very informative, greatly structured and far from boring. He has made it good fun and highly interactive. I would like to recommend this course to be taken by every Lawyer specialized in IT Law and working with teams or clients who use scrum or other agile methods (I guess most do...). For one it is a useful tool to be used even in the legal world. Secondly in gives a much deeper inside into how your client/colleague works and what his situation looks like. This knowledge is key to provide a good service or steer them according to plan. Just as much as you cannot work in this field without certain technical knowledge, it greatly helps knowing the used methods when aiming at being an efficient and up to speed legal counsel."

Lars Cornels, Legal Counsel

Kelvion Holding GmbH

"My team and I attended Johannes’ Scrum Training to gain a shared understanding of Scrum. The interactive training was a great experience and achievement for all of us."

Helge Hintze, Vice President
