Session Overview

In this talk, we go through the journey of an organization towards Business Agility. Wikipedia defines Business Agility as the distinct qualities that allow organisations to respond rapidly to changes in the internal and external environment without losing momentum or vision. Adaptability, flexibility and balance are three qualities essential to long-term business agility.

This talk is not about a specific Agile method. We will explain how we took a Design Thinking approach to create a Transformation roadmap that will help the organization move towards Business Agility. We will share a measurement framework that we put in place to help teams continuously evolve.

We will end this session with a quick comparison of this approach versus the STATIK approach and how they complement each other.

Learning objectives

• Understand the approach on how to create a Transformation roadmap - what "key" elements to follow
• How to continuously Inspect and Adapt?
• Define a simple/easy measurement framework to assist in this journey.
