What Better Change does

Better Change Consulting ApS is a Denmark-headquartered Agile transformation consulting and training firm founded in 2008, operating from a headquarters in Hasselager and offices in 13 locations across 11 countries (Denmark, Germany, Netherlands, Sweden, Italy, Finland, Spain, Croatia, Estonia, South Africa, and the USA). The firm delivers services through a decentralized network of approximately 21 senior coaches referred to as 'Fellows,' supported by 15+ certified course trainers, and positions itself as one of the first firms in Europe to professionalize Agile coaching and among the first globally to extend Agile beyond software into hardware.

The firm's core offerings span two revenue streams. The first is professional services: end-to-end Agile transformation consulting, team coaching, leadership development, Design Sprint facilitation, User Story Mapping, Agile Retrospective facilitation, and organizational culture alignment using the Competing Values Framework, alongside a Flight Levels-based 'Business Agility' practice that extends Agile from teams into the whole organization. The second is the Better Change Academy, a training platform delivering 30+ certified courses — including CSM, CSPO, CAL, ICAgile (ICP-ACC/ATF/CAT), Kanban University (FM, KMP 1/2, ESK), Flight Levels (FLIN, FL2D, FL3D, FLSA), and SAFe — offered publicly across European locations and virtually, and privately on-site for enterprises. AI integration is limited to an AI Design Sprint product and an AI-enhanced CSM variant.

Better Change monetizes primarily through professional services fees for consulting engagements and one-time/perpetual per-seat course pricing ranging from approximately DKK 7,000–9,665 (Denmark), EUR 1,095–2,190 (Germany/Italy), and SEK 14,500–17,000 (Sweden). GTM is sales-led via direct enterprise engagement supplemented by content marketing (100+ blog articles), webinars, newsletters, LinkedIn, and industry events. Named enterprise customers include LEGO, Grundfos, Laerdal Medical, Erasmus MC, and TC Electronic; the firm has formalized four regulated vertical go-to-markets — Energy, Financial Institutions, Healthcare, and Insurance — alongside its historical software and hardware base. Ownership is private with no disclosed institutional funding, M&A, or parent company.
