The growing importance of Enterprise Agility

“Being “agile” has never been so popular, and not just in IT – after all, any company who wants to survive needs agility. These days, we are seeing a push towards agile in HR, marketing, administration and, in general, any environment that needs to reinvent itself to respond to market needs faster.” – Planet Lean

Sometimes as change agents, we forget that organizations are social systems. While our brains desperately want change to follow a linear and standardized progression, we know complex organizational change never has, and will never, work that way.

Enterprise Transformation with Lean Change Management is designed to help you create a context-dependant and feedback-driven approach to transformation.

Course modules

Business and Complexity

This foundational track kicks off the workshop to give you a basic understanding of internal and external forces that shape our transformations.
We will in a world where it’s become more important to focus on internal processes and how your organization dances within the ecosystem in which it exists.

Topics:

  • Introduction to Complexity
  • Introduction to Lean
  • Introduction to Business Agility


Organizing the Organization

This track is about the four basic tenants of organizational design:

  • How do we choose to group people?
  • How do we link groups together?
  • How do we align multiple groups toward a higher purpose?
  • How do we know if it’s working?

Topics:

  • Organizational Structures and Design
  • Organizational Processes
  • Agile Scaling Frameworks


Disruption and Change

Today’s organizations have much less control over their destiny than they used to. The entry barrier into established markets continues to lower, and more leaders want to see significant culture shifts in their organizations.

Topics:

  • Understanding Organizational Culture
  • Organizational Interventions
  • Metrics that Matter


Unleashing People

It’s the diversity of thought and leadership styles that creates the friction that moves transformation forward. This track focuses on understanding and respecting the similarities and differences between people.
