About Olivier

Olivier Gourment portrait

Olivier has spent more than 15 years helping organizations improve how they respond to complexity, uncertainty, and change. He is regularly invited to speak at international conferences and founded Agile Open Montréal, a long-running event that sells out every year.


Building on decades of experience in diverse roles, from software developer and architect to project manager and software development director, Olivier brings both operational depth and systemic perspective. He first learned agility by doing in 2001 on the ambitious www.bell.ca project, which won an award for best e-commerce site, and that early success evolved into a broader focus on resilience, adaptability, and sustainable performance.


Today, Olivier helps organizations strengthen their organizational muscles: adaptability, contextual sensemaking, collective intelligence, and the ability to reconfigure when conditions change. His work equips employees and leaders to surf turbulence more effectively while creating the conditions for meaningful long-term innovation. #FluidAgile and FAST are part of that toolbox, not the destination.

Organizational Robustness Coaching

Through tailored coaching engagements, Olivier works with teams and leaders to make the organization more robust in practice. The goal is not agility for its own sake, but a stronger capacity to read context, adapt deliberately, and keep innovating under pressure. Olivier helps you:

FAST & Fluid Agile Training

Understanding and Implementing FAST Agile is a practical training for organizations that want more than process compliance. FAST offers concrete patterns for dynamic reteaming, distributed coordination, product discovery, reflection, and innovation at different scales. It is especially useful when robustness depends on learning quickly, reconfiguring effectively, and responding to change without bureaucratic drag. Participants receive a FAST Agile Nascent certificate.

Olivier combines trainer certification with real-world coaching experience to connect FAST and Fluid Agile practices to your context, your constraints, and your long-term strategic goals.
