Things are likely, but not certain
You can imagine the destination,
but it’s hard to be very precise
You’ll certainly will learn a lot while
being underway
Solving complex problems…
While you gain relevant experience,
you’ll become more predictable and fast
If you are honest, you’ll certainly
will discover things while doing,
which weren’t a good idea in
retrospective. You’ll adjust your
process or course to the destination
You’ll need expertise from multiple
people to get great results.
10. Scrum is characterized by
➢ Scrum solves complex problems
➢ Working iteratively in a rythm of so-called Sprints, most often a time-
period of two weeks
➢ The team is stable, so it’s clear who’s in and who’s not. Ideally they stay
together for a long time (>1 year) so they can learn the product and to
work together effectively.
➢ Scrum is agile projectmanagement and works value driven.

SUNK COSTS. Every sprint you’ll choose in what to invest. So you can adjust quickly your strategy. So sunk costs
are limited in building a product which will not be successful.

INVENTORY COSTS. Every Sprint you’ll start with refining the plan. The risk of having outdated plans on high-detail
level is limited.
TALENT RETENTION AND ACQUISITION. People like to work with Scrum and build a product in which they get fast
feedback from peers, management and customers. So they can build a valuable product which will be used.
OPPORTUNITY COSTS. Every sprint you’ll able to adjust in what to invest. So if you’d rather invest in another course,
that’s possible within acceptable costs. So, opportunity costs are limited.

39. The 70-20-10 Model for Learning and Development is a commonly used formula within the training profession to describe the optimal sources of learning by
successful managers. It holds that individuals obtain 70 percent of their knowledge from job-related experiences, 20 percent from interactions with others, and 10
percent from formal educational events.
The 70-20-10 model is considered to be of greatest value as a general guideline for organizations seeking to maximize the effectiveness of their learning, and
development programs through other activities and inputs. The model continues to be widely employed by organizations throughout the world.
Below you find examples to illustrate Learning and Development activities that Xebia uses in practice, related to the 70-20-10 framework.

40. Agile transformation at ING
New working methods make a bank more relevant to its customer
ING strives to continuously exceed customer expectations by responding to developments in the market.
However, delivering value from the forefront requires ongoing innovation, both in the bank’s products and
services for consumers and businesses and in its way of working.
That was the reason why ING instigated a company-wide transformation, empowering multidisciplinary
teams to deliver relevant products quickly and with more flexibility, and to offer customers a distinctive
experience. “Anyone who wants to take the lead in this segment must be capable of bringing
improvements to new products and services in the market very quickly,” explains Arnout Bloys van
Treslong, the tribe lead responsible for Tribe Experience Private Banking and Investing at ING. “The ability
to implement changes quickly is also fundamental.”
Creating, training, implementing and coaching the agile way of working:
✓ 2010: IT departments
✓ 2014: marketing departments
✓ 2015: Impact and agility – the redesign into omnichannel (RIO) strategy at domestic bank
✓ 2016: operations, call center, sales & advising
✓ 2017: staff departments (risk, HR, finance, compliance, OR
✓ 2018: “X-Border” Belgium/Netherlands
ING hired us for more than 70.000 hours
to design and execute their Agile transformation
