The global agile training market is worth over $1.5 billion annually. A significant portion of that investment produces no measurable change in how teams work six months later. Bain & Company research on organisational capability building found that fewer than 25% of training programmes produce sustained behaviour change.
Why training doesn't stick
Training fails to stick for three structural reasons. First, it's disconnected from the actual work. Second, there's no measurement of behaviour change post-training. Third, coaching support disappears after the programme ends, precisely when it's most needed.

What high-performing organisations do differently
They embed measurement into the coaching process — tracking Agile Event quality, retro action completion, and team health signals continuously. They use data to personalise coaching interventions. And they create feedback loops that keep coaches informed about team behaviour between sessions.
Albert AI monitors team behaviour continuously. Coaches see a real-time view of every team's health, Agile Event quality, and improvement trajectory. Training becomes a dialogue with evidence, not a monologue at a whiteboard. Teams coached with Performalise show 33% higher retrospective action completion within six sprint cycles. That's a system outcome. The training introduced the practice. The system made it stick.
