Sketching Our Agile Identity Crisis
Grab your markers and unleash your creativity as we visually explore the shifting landscape of agile roles and community identity. Through simple-to-draw symbols, we'll express the highs, lows, and uncertainties of navigating this identity crisis together. Expect colorful expressions, lively discussions, and plenty of 'aha' moments as we sketch our way through this dynamic session.
The power of Cultural Awareness & Role Modeling for sustainable Agility
Peter Drucker famously said “Culture eats Strategy for breakfast”. If so, Agile transformations are a virtual smorgasbord. They are disruptive and inevitably impact or are impacted by your organization’s culture.
So why do most organizations avoid culture as if it was left over liver and onions? (yuk!)
How can we engage leaders and peers more effectively to create culture awareness and include culture as a critical success factor for your organization?
In this workshop we will explore a few simple, helpful models, including:
- Pyramid of Results (Partners in Leadership)
- Competing Values Framework (Cameron and Quinn)
- Satire Curve (Virginia Satir)
- 13 Traits of a Good Role Model (Frank Sonnenberg)
This workshop will equip you with the tools to reshape the thinking of Agile from just another "check-the-box" project to a more organic, culture-forward mission for sustainable agility.
How to get and keep Leaders onboard so your Agile journey stays on course
Getting and keeping leaders engaged has proven to be a key success factor for agile transformations.
If you’ve been around long enough, you’ve likely been a part of at least one failed agile transformation because you lacked or lost key leadership. With no one at the helm, the initiative may be dead in the water.
How do we get more leaders on board and actively engaged in helping to navigate our transformations?
What happens when we lose a key sponsor or agile champion? Is our agile transformation effort doomed or are we able to stay the course?
Although we’ve seen too many agile transformations turn into a bad version of ‘Titanic’, there are ways to avoid this fate.
This session will provide insights and guidance for building a powerful guiding coalition and a volunteer army able to navigate the rough waters ahead.
