ENTERPRISE AGILE TRANSFORMATION
Agile is fluid and flexible. There is no one “right way” to be an Agile Enterprise. Just as no two businesses are identical, no two Agile transformations are identical. Agile is about adapting to change not only at the team level, but as well, and more importantly at the Enterprise level as well.
Best-practices can be informative, but they shouldn’t lead to stagnation and immobilization. The most successful Agile transformations take into consideration each unique characteristic of your entire organization, what makes it unique, and finds a way to embrace those skills while providing a framework for success.
Agile is more than just a way to manage technology and software; it is a path to flexibility, responsiveness and the ability to always knowing which direction you are moving towards. While many of its principles are derived from software and product development, its goal is much broader. Agile is designed to help position an Enterprise to conquer processes so that in the ever-changing world of today’s businesses companies aren’t stranded. Agile is designed to teach companies how to orient themselves, to match the changing course of clients’ needs and demands, and to consistently deliver quality and value to customers.
Larger businesses don’t find their bearing overnight. Nor do they always find it easily. The complexities of larger businesses: regulatory framework, complicated organizational structures, challenges of geographic diversity, potential language barriers, and even the presence of legacy technology all impact the Agile transformation. But, with the right assistance and execution, your Enterprise will be positioned to successfully pivot as the landscape changes!
