Safe Space: culture and mindset in agile transformation
Interactive Q&A Zoom session
In this event we cover:
What happens when the 'people' aspect is left out of an agile transformation initiative
Practical ways to engage and nurture the teams and individuals involved in a transformation
And other burning questions straight from you!
Agile advocate Grady Booch famously quipped that 'A fool with a tool is still a fool.'
This quote is salient since organisational change is too often forced by a top-down mandate, with that change being to throw a tool at a problem — without bringing along the hearts and minds of those who are asked to use these new tools in new ways.
Though the teams and individuals involved are certainly not fools, Booch’s quote makes the point that transformation must go beyond software. Transformation must incorporate mindset, workflows, and culture. When these 'people' aspects are not addressed, morale, motivation, and buy-in suffers, and the software which was supposed to fix the problem becomes the new problem.
Happily there are proven tactics and techniques to help nurture culture and mindset, which are the real enablers of an organisation’s move to lean-agile practices at scale. Adaptavist’s panel, composed of senior transformational consultants, will take your questions on what processes and habits have brought 'people' success in agile at scale initiatives.
