My job is about helping companies find better ways to achieve their goals by introducing elements of agility into people, teams and organizations.

People who contact a professional in this field often do not have first-hand experience. He/she may have read about it, or heard someone speak highly of it.
She sees companies succeeding because of this "new" approach, and consequently reaches out to those she believes can help her achieve the same results.
Often, however, people underestimate the scope of the intervention, believing that simply "installing" a framework will smooth out all the issues.

Unfortunately, things do not work that way....
One must go through numerous stages of awareness, reach degrees of maturity, through a generally challenging process.
Indeed, it is not uncommon to have to proceed through preparatory work, which has little to do with agility, so that teams and individuals can take in its first rudiments.
A misstep at this delicate stage can jeopardize the success of the entire initiative.

In this talk, I will share some insights on how to embark on this journey, one baby step at a time, being careful not to prematurely play the agility card.
