🎓 HEC Paris Certified
Organisation Coach
Guiding complex human systems through deep transformation. Beyond tools and methods, I work on culture, meaning and relational quality — the true levers of lasting change.
Expertise & Certifications
Four converging expertises,
one single compass
The 4A draws on the rare convergence of technical project mastery, operational agility expertise at scale (SAFe), systemic coaching and solid interim management experience — four mutually reinforcing capabilities.

Agility & Scaled Agility Expert
Certified Scrum Master since 2009 — long before agility became mainstream — PMI PMP since 2014 and SAFe Agilist certified since 2021. I bring comprehensive mastery of agile frameworks (Scrum, Kanban, SAFe) and hands-on experience of scaled agility in complex multi-team environments.

With over 18 years of managing complex IT projects and teams, I step in as interim manager to ensure operational continuity, steer critical transformations and support organisations through periods of change.
The Concept
Quadri Agility:
beyond tools, the culture
In a world of permanent crisis, deploying Scrum or SAFe is no longer enough. The challenge is no longer to "do agility" but to become agile. Quadri Agility articulates four complementary dimensions to anchor transformation in living systems.
Structural Agility
Securing the framework, defining processes and ensuring the system has the resources it needs to act. Without this foundation, the organisation exhausts itself in chaos.
Frameworks · R&R · FlowDigital Agility
Digital transformation at the service of living systems. Ensuring the technological flow is smooth — architecture, CI/CD, time to market — without saturation or data silos.
Architecture · AutomationRelational Agility
Smoothing interactions, encouraging cooperation and developing the psychological safety of teams. Transforming a group of experts into a learning team.
Safety · Dialogue · CooperationSystemic Agility
Acting as a third-party mirror to reveal blind spots, limiting beliefs and cultural barriers that prevent agile tools from bearing fruit.
Shared vision · AntifragilityThe Approach
A holistic intervention,
at every level
Cultural agility cannot be decreed from above without being lived at the base. I intervene at three interdependent levels, with a systemic stance as the common thread.
01
Organisation coaching
Systemic reading of the whole system. Revealing organisational paradoxes, restoring the fluid circulation of information and meaning. Agility as ecosystem transformation, not a patchwork of tools.
02
Team coaching
Transforming a gathering of experts into a learning team. Smoothing interactions, addressing the unspoken, fostering self-organisation and collective resilience in the face of uncertainty.
03
Individual coaching
Supporting the leader's transformation. For an executive accustomed to control, shifting to a supporting stance is a leap into the unknown. Individual coaching becomes the final tipping point.
Services
Tailored support
Every intervention is co-constructed with the client system. The need is qualified, the approach designed in response to a real situation — never an off-the-shelf solution.
Diagnosis & Strategy
Systemic reading of the organisation
A structured immersion to reveal cultural barriers, unspoken tensions and paradoxes blocking transformation.
- Individual and collective interviews
- Mapping of systemic tensions
- Findings and co-constructed action plan
- In-depth diagnostic report
Support & Transformation
Team coaching & Agile workshops
Collective intelligence approaches to anchor a new culture of cooperation, learning and autonomy.
- Co-construction workshops (FigJam, in person)
- Group coaching sessions
- Facilitation of alignment seminars
- Follow-up and consolidation of outcomes
Leadership & Individual
Executive coaching
Supporting the leader's identity shift in the face of complexity — from a control stance to one of support and letting go.
- Individual coaching sessions (8 to 12 sessions)
- Work on posture and limiting beliefs
- Development of systemic awareness
- Embedding in daily practice
Audit · Project & Programme Management
Project & programme audit
With 18 years of field experience and PMP and Scrum Master certifications, I provide support to analyse projects or programmes in difficulty, identify blockers and formulate concrete recommendations.
- Project governance and steering audit
- Identification of organisational and process dysfunctions
- Risk analysis and inter-team friction points
- Actionable recommendations and implementation support
"I no longer seek to repair the organisation like a machine, but to foster the conditions of health and growth of a living organism capable of self-organising in the face of uncertainty."
— Freddy Yimo, HEC Paris Dissertation, 2026
From structure to living systems
Trained as an engineer, I learned to master systems. Today I guide their transformation into learning organisms — rigour at the service of life.
The third-party mirror stance
Neither repairman nor prescriber. The organisation coach acts as a systemic mirror, revealing what the system cannot see of itself in order to unlock its own intelligence.
Authenticity as a tool
A coach's impact is proportional to their self-knowledge. The trust relationship is built on authenticity and shared vulnerability.
The Founding Coach
Freddy Yimo —
credibility forged in the field, combined with academic training
2025 – 2026
Organisation Coach — HEC Paris Certification
Intensive programme specifically focused on organisation coaching — the programme covers neither individual coaching nor team coaching. Dissertation on "Organisation coaching as a tipping point from methodological agility to cultural agility".

Independent consultant in agile transformation
Supporting IT and Digital departments in their agile transformation. Facilitation of strategic alignment and governance workshops, including scaled agility (SAFe) in multi-team environments.

2007 – Present
Information Systems Engineer
Over 18 years of complex IT project management. Team leadership, digital transformation, scaled agility — the technical foundation of Quadri Agility.
The engineer who learned to listen to living systems
My journey is not a break — it is a systemic extension. Starting from mastery of technical architectures, I gradually discovered that the real levers of transformation lie in the invisible: culture, meaning, relational quality.
2025 was a tipping point that led me to use other tools beyond my engineer's analytical mind to have greater impact in my work.
