Helping Life Leap Forward – Creating our Agile Operating Model at John Deere
At John Deere, our higher purpose is to help life leap forward. We do this by helping our customers become more productive, more profitable and do the jobs they need to do in an environmentally sustainable way. In this talk, we will share our approach, challenges, and learnings from transforming 500 global teams over three years - with a hyper focus on adopting Agility & DevOps, shifting from Projects to Products, and evolving our organizational culture. This encompassed adopting new ways of working for teams and leadership across four continents, in the midst of a pandemic and the shift toward remote and hybrid work. We will share how this focused operating model shift has enabled our company to run faster and help revolutionize the agricultural and construction industries as a Smart Industrial.
