About us
About AgileWalls
The world changes fast and organizations need to be able to adapt and be flexible in order to answer to the challenges of the future. At AgileWalls, we believe that Obeya leads to purposeful organizations, drive meaningful objectives, make collaboration more effective, and support inclusive decisions.
However, there was no good product to build an Obeya that met our standards and expectations. That’s why we started AgileWalls. We put our knowledge and experience with Obeya and organizational transformation into developing our walls that are:
- Good looking: With our Obeya walls, you can build an Obeya that is inviting to everyone in your organization and where people will be proud of.
- Flexible: Your organization will change and our modular walls will allow your Obeya to adapt to your needs.
- Visually structured: In your Obeya, it should be clear to everyone how the different elements and information relate to each other. Our walls provide this structure.
We are more than just a product company. We are a community of passionate professionals who care about making deeper connections. We share a love for the outdoors and try to make the world a better place.
Every day.

About the Founders
Bart Bongers en Dolf Reijnders are behind the AgileWalls project.
Raised within the Lean Management filosophy originating at Toyota, until a few years ago they consulted large scale Agile transformations. Their personalities are opposites; Bart modest, Dolf abundant. They are connected in their vision on life and business. Freedom, learning, having fun and giving back are the core values from which Bart and Dolf operate.
The creation of AgileWalls started from a “mobile office”. Bart and Dolf put their campervan-turned-into-office there where energy and inspiration flows. Working with ocean views the one day and the next one from a forest, they link the success of their creations to the positive effects of nature.
This clearly shows in their designs and innovative use of materials.
No nonsense. Walk the talk. Shit must work.
But with a keen eye for comfort and smart design.
The Obeya Association
At AgileWalls we have years of experience in building revolutionary Obeya’s across multiple industries.
Throughout the years, our designs developed:
- A strong connection between digital and analog/physical collaboration spaces.
- Strong visual structures that make Obeya collaboration intuitive and easily accessible
A philosophy by itself perhaps.
A missing piece in the Organizational Theory puzzle.
A way to deal with the challenges ahead.
And with full potential to outgrow its status as tool within the Lean toolbox.
The Obeya Association is a platform and a world wide network that aims to share knowledge on Obeya easier than before.
Obeya is a bit of a new kid on the organizational theory block and the Obeya Association has set out to assure quality.
The Obeya Association aims to develop Obeya “from tool to philosophy”. And Bart and Dolf strongly support the case.
Being a community of Obeya practitioners, the Associates are constantly discussing, creating, sharing, testing and continuously improving Obeya practices.
