Does this sound familiar?
Your time-to-market is too long
You have a lot of ad hoc decision making
You have siloed departments
A methodology to improve your organisation's agility
47% of all agile transformations fail. The main reason for this high failure rate is the focus on only one of the three critical pillars of change: agile mindset, framework or business agility.
This means the transformation to become a more agile company is not without its challenges. To help you conquer these challenges, we developed a methodology that improves your organisation’s agility.
Align
Envision & pilot
Scale-up
Full rollout
Align
In this phase, the focus is on understanding your organisation, business model and strategy. We validate and confirm the "why" that triggered the need for an agile transformation and define the goals, expected benefits and ambition for the agile transformation.
Envision & pilot
This phase includes an in-depth analysis of the “as is”-situation. We identify improvement areas and quick wins, make an initial plan to try out improvements and get hands-on right away by implementing a pilot. The focus here is mostly on the process.
Scale-up
We take the learnings from the pilot into account in different contexts and then scale-up the implementation to a larger part of the organisation. We develop a standardised approach for a full rollout in multiple areas: HR, legal, sales, delivery, customer service, etc.
Full rollout
In the final phase, we implement the agile transformation within the entire organisation and fully embed the agile way of working into organisational processes. We reinforce agile best practices, so your organisation becomes self-reliant and self-improving.
How we can help
To put our methodology into practice, we have several hands-on methods and tools that help you take steps
in assessing your digital maturity.
Agile Maturity Report
Our Agile Maturity Report serves as a measure of your performance and readiness to embrace agile practices. It helps define areas of strength and weakness, providing valuable insights into where enhancements are needed.
Workshops &
1-on-1's
Throughout the entire journey, we facilitate workshops and 1-on-1 sessions covering various topics and domains. These sessions are designed to assist key stakeholders in successfully transforming to a more agile mindset.
Pilot Project
We implement a pilot program in a specific, well-defined segment of the organisation. During this pilot, we conduct regular checks on change and agile related topics to measure progress and foster continuous learning. Based on the learnings, we create a list of critical success factors for next phases.
Feedback Sessions
We’ll hold surveys and act upon topics with a low survey score, organise meetings with focus on improvement ideas and concerns of people and plan information sessions to create a common understanding of the vision and to share progress and upcoming actions.
Internal Communication
The entire organisation needs to understand the value of agile transformation in order to benefit from the rewards of achieving true organisational agility. Before and during the project, we’ll work closely with your (internal) communications teams to realise that.
Train & Self-Sustain
We focus on onboarding, training, and coaching your teams in new Agile roles, empowering your organisation to continue improving autonomously over time.
