Introducing Agile Ways of Working into teams often fail because of resistance of change within teams. This makes new ways of working ineffective and questions the performance of the organization as a whole.
But too often, introducing new ways of working focuses on frameworks instead of mindsets. It is time to change our approach to introducing new ways of working for teams.
Challenges for Teams in becoming Agile
Lack of Coaching & Facilitation
Organizations introducing Agile lack of appropriate change agents such as Scrum Masters and Agile Coaches.
Lack of focus & effectiveness
Competitors and the increasing pace of change pressure us into delivering products and services too quickly.
Team Resistance to Change
Focusing on Frameworks and processes leads us to impose change on teams without any sustainable impact
Develop your Agile Way of Working
Contrary to popular belief, Agile is not a pre-defined process or framework for how we do our work, but is a set of values and principles supporting teams and individuals to make sense in an ever-changing environment. It invites them to look different at their work and therefore understand how they can change to more Agile Ways of Working by themselves.
Our programs focus on providing the foundations and different values and principles, so everyone understands how to become more Agile so that change becomes sustainable.
