Talk description
Title:
Transformation - when agility collides with the organisation
Short synopsis:
We need to recognise the value of learning as central to transformation capability – something that is essential if we are to respond to the changes in the world around us. As Arie P. de Geus, the head of Shell's Strategic Planning Group, once said, "The ability to learn faster than competitors may be the only sustainable competitive advantage." From business units to individuals working on teams, this needs to happen everywhere. For many this is what agility is all about. Enabling people to deliver value to the business continuously through rapid learning, within an environment that is supportive and safe in which to make decisions and learn through both successes and failures. Transformation is about becoming an Agile organisation. It is about core learning capability where change and uncertainty is inevitable in the environment and context we find ourselves. This talk explores this through principles and experience and presents challenges to leaders as to how their organisations may need to change in order to achieve this.
