Hi, I'm Fred Deichler
Helping enterprise leaders and agile practitioners build high-performing organizations through a framework-agnostic approach focused on people, product, and process.
The Triforce Approach
Building high-performing organizations requires balance across three dimensions
People
High-performing teams start with empowered individuals. I help leaders create environments where people can do their best work—building trust, psychological safety, and sustainable pace.
Product
Delivering value means understanding what your customers actually need. I guide teams in prioritization, discovery, and outcome-focused delivery that moves the needle on business results.
Process
Frameworks are tools, not religions. I help organizations find the right practices for their context—using data to measure what's working and continuously improve how work flows.
Speaking Topics
Popular keynotes and workshops I deliver at conferences worldwide
The Math of Predictability: Answering "When Will It Be Done?" with Confidence
Stop guessing with story points. Learn to use Monte Carlo simulations, EBM, and Flow Metrics to give stakeholders delivery dates they can trust (e.g., "85% likelihood").
The AI-Augmented Practitioner: From Lazy Prompts to One-Pizza Teams
Your team is using AI, but are they using it well? Move beyond basic prompting to build AI-assisted workflows that automate the "administration of work"—so your team can focus on the work that actually matters.
The API of Leadership: Debugging Team Dynamics with Triggers & Hooks
When teams underperform, most leaders address symptoms. Learn to spot the behavioral "Triggers" that create dysfunction and use "Hooks" to shift conversations from blame to ownership—before small issues become systemic.
