From an Agile organization to a continuously improving organization
From an Agile organization to a continuously improving organization
By Ronen Bar-Nahor @ AgileIL12
One of the main challenges in implementing Agile at the enterprise level is how to create stickiness of “Agile Thinking” across the organisation and avoid going back to the “comfort zone” after you “finish” with the implementation phase. How do you ensure that the organisation internalizes the “inspect and adapt” approach and that you have moved the continuous improvement ownership to the managers and people? In this session I will outline how to implement continuous learning processes across the organisation that will enable the organisation to maximize value from Agile and more importantly to take ownership of it.
