About Christopher Pola

I\'m specialize in helping customers adopt lean-agile and lean product development practices across the enterprise. Affectionately referred to as \'new ways of working\', adopting the fundamental principles of lean is proven to improve organizational performance. As a Solution Engineer/Strategist with Rally Software a Broadcom company I am able to identify issues in the current management model, advise on the method and culture changes, and illustrate how Rally Software can enable a successful and sustainable transformation to that \'new way of working\'.Out of the office I\'m an amaetur CrossFitter, and get my kicks from studying botany and astronomy at various establishments in the NYC metro area. You can learn more about ValueOps at Broadcom by clicking the below links in the ‘Featured’ section. Please don’t hesitate to connect with me on LinkedIn if I can be of assistance.
