Large organisations are so inherently complex that many agile transformations struggle, rather than living up to their promise. The result is a Babylonian confusion. Agile practices are frequently misunderstood, improperly imposed, or the right practices are applied in the wrong context. Governance
structures and tools clash with agile and vice versa. Debates arise about the essence and limitations of agile, with some touting flow and value streams as the new agile. One can even sense a desire to reintroduce some of the old (waterfall) project management concepts, restricting agile to the team level.
The purpose of this 2-day workshop is to show the way out of this mess. Inspired by Marcus Aurelius' quote, "The impediment to action advances action," the workshop invites people to take a fresh look at organisational agility. It calls for a profound overhaul, pivoting from large scale agile transformations to more nuanced and context-specific complexity-informed strategies. Organisations create value and every organisation does so in its own unique way with its own unique challenges. Creating a sustained focus on value is complex because of the conflicting forces created by discovery, creation and delivery
Is your agile transformation experiencing setbacks or failing to deliver on its promises? Join this training designed to help organizations pivot to a
post-agile, value focussed organisation. Through simulations and practical exercises, you will learn how to navigate complex value creation networks and integrate different perspectives. More than ad hoc bricolage it teaches how to build a coherent network of interdependent practices and how to focus improvement to serve the bigger picture. More than flow in value streams, participants learn to create freedom to flow in complex value creation networks.
Bring back clarity in the Babylonian confusion that agile has become – what is Scrum really and what is Kanban really? Deconstruct Scrum and Kanban into their differentiating parts (keystone practices). Learn about the scaling principles that help to adapt keystone practices to the level of scale where they are applicable. Discover the fundamental polarities that bring agile transformations to a halt.
Learn how value streams are an over-simplification of the actual value creation network. Move beyond the team level with limiting and enabling constraints in the process of focussed improvement. Learn to distinguish upstream from downstream and how to deal with external dependencies upstream on top of bottlenecks downstream. Discover the power of collaboration policies and the value slicing manoeuvre to create the freedom to flow in a liquid organisation.
