We operate in a world of exponentially increasing market disruption. It is more important than ever for organizations to achieve organizational agility, which is why many companies are embarking on Agile Transformations. However, few of them are realizing the full agile results promised--and needed.
In fact, over 50% of all Agile transformations fail.
In this webinar, David explored how leaders can guide their organizations past common barriers to transformation and accelerate momentum towards true organizational agility using a proven transformation framework, the Path to Agility®.
Key takeaways include:
- 4 impediments slowing down the transformation or preventing significant gains from Agile
- How an organization develops new capabilities by implementing Agile practices
- How those capabilities result in agile outcomes and better agility for an organization
- The ability to assess your current state of agility and where to focus efforts in the near term
