Want to Mandate One Set of Prescriptive Practices? Don't.
You want to increase organizational agility and flow across your large, traditional enterprise. Perhaps you are considering or others have decided to impose a scaling framework. Frameworks can be good, in their context. Equally they can and are being mis-applied in contexts where they may not be the optimal way of working. Organizations are complex adaptive systems, there is not a one-size-fits-all solution. This talk, which is based on lessons learnt from leading agility at scale across a 320+ year old organization with 80,000 people in 40 countries, shares an approach to enterprise transformation which appeals to intrinsic motivation, is invitation over imposition, has a clear focus on outcomes and is context and framework agnostic. You will leave with an approach which you can try as soon as you get back to the office.
