About us
Gladwell Academy is best known for our expertise on the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe), which we embraced as one of the first training providers (or partners) in Europe, and for which we rank among the global top five partners. Yet our training development flows from a deeper conviction: that digital transformation builds global leaders in tomorrow’s business. Around this mission, we have built a best-in-class portfolio in Scrum and Kanban, information management, corporate innovation and other areas, as well as trainings geared toward several areas of application, either oriented towards markets (Hardware, Higher Education) or towards corporate disciplines (Finance and Control, HR, Leadership).
