INTRODUCTION
Chien-Chang Chen (David), a born entrepreneur with servant leadership. He spent one-third of his life in the States and relocated to his hometown - Taipei City, Taiwan in 2018. That's when he realized that in Taiwan the majority of people he had encountered with were not familiar with or not even heard of "agile". He joined one of the top tier consulting firm in Taipei as digital transformation consultant and he's shocked to see how all the projects were planned and delivered in waterfall, and he was the only person who had previous experience with agile in the entire organization. He had conducted internal agile training to multiple departments and received positive feedback from senior management who participated. Those were what we called - the change agents; organizations have to to cultivate great change agents in order to enable any level of transformation. Since then, he had decided to found a company with a vision to promote agile while cultivating change agents, and he founded True Agility Consulting Group to turn this vision into reality.
