Long synopsis (optional):
The success of an Agile Transformation initiative depends on strong support and sponsorship from organisational leadership. Buy-in from this stakeholder group is absolutely vital to success and a lack of engagement from leadership is the biggest challenge facing Agile adoption in the IT industry worldwide. This talk takes an in-depth look at the leadership challenges facing IT organisations and offers a practical toolkit to addressing these challenges. Successful Agile Transformations are underpinned by a cultural change where teams are empowered to make decisions and information flows in an open and transparent manner. The talk focuses on addressing the challenges in creating and fostering a culture of empowerment and transparency, and the role leadership and Agile Practitioners can play in this endeavour. It is widely recognised that a culture of empowerment and transparency is absolutely key for organisational agility. Unlike technology and tools, culture cannot be bought or acquired. It must be developed and nurtured, which takes time and effort. However, the question is how do we change an ingrained culture or “reset” it? This is a hard challenge, which becomes even harder depending on the wider operating context of the organisation. In this talk, the speaker shares his experience of cultural change in the context of leadership challenges within organisations, and offers practical advice to both organisational leaders and Agile Practitioners in order to achieve positive outcomes in their organisations.
