Summary:
Do you have, or want, a vision that takes you beyond high performing teams, to a high performing, resilient business? Come hear how you can help your organization shift from mechanics that “do” Agile, and walk away with a feel for what’s possible when not just development, but a whole organization surfs the flow of “being” Agile.
Through a series of short stories and exercises, attendees will explore 5 practices from that business which led to roaring success. We’ll probe their parallels in Lean / Agile practice. With each one, you’ll briefly self-inspect the state of your own organization, as well as create a backlog you can use to adapt in your “real world” beyond the conference.
Takeaways:
- Articulate the importance of a clear, shared purpose to guide Agility
- Describe the framework of Situational Leadership and how to apply it to your own leadership style
- Identify two ways to clarify decision authority and where that clarity can be improved in your business
- Apply a simple “big picture” model to help match the Agile mindset to traditional business / project management
