Getting Real About Business Agility - The Management Layer
DESCRIPTION
In part I of his talk about The Management Layer, enterprise agile coach and organizational transformation expert Joseph DeAngelis presented:
- Examples of poor organizational design and the obstacles to business agility they present
- Steps to avoid when beginning a transformation, e.g. massive layoffs based on job titles
- Prerequisites to organizational transformation including defining the better business outcomes we must achieve
- Taking those first steps, including focusing on system optimization instead of local optimization
- Recommended approach, i.e. what is means to "De-scale before you scale"
In part II of his Management Layer presentation, Joseph will focus his attention on how to develop the eco-system and structure that will enable true culture change and support the seeds of Agility that will be planted in your teams; which starts by engaging leadership and changing the way decisions are made!
The topics Joseph will cover in this talk include:
- What is the 2-party Competitive Game and why it should be eradicated from your organization
- How to start to build the Eco-system that supports a highly coordinated and aligned team of teams
- Transforming the business by funding value streams instead of projects, applying lean budgeting to these value streams and adding empowered business representatives at every level in the organization
- Dispelling the beliefs that Scrum Masters and Product Owners are not full time roles
- The establishment of Guilds that enable communities of practice that share knowledge, define standards and enforce them
- Offshoring the right way
