Taking agile beyond pilots and scattered initiatives requires deep changes in processes, habits, and even mindsets. It also requires careful timing and coordination. We work with clients at every step of their agile-at-scale journey.
- Understand the starting point. Our customized approach starts with understanding where an organization is. Proprietary tools, such as our agile maturity assessment and Ready, Willing, Able (RWA) Tool, help us gauge capabilities, competencies, and willingness to change—and benchmark against best-in-class peers. By understanding a client's readiness for enterprise agility, we can shape recommendations and strategies to fit their unique environment.
- Enable the organization. Enterprise agility requires catalysts to change and influence behavior. We provide a suite of resources—and support—for all levels of an organization. These include workshops to teach agile behaviors, immersion sessions for senior executives, and coaching, simulations, and mentoring for agile team members. We also provide tactics for change management and communications.
- Set up and execute agile pilots. When well implemented, agile at scale generates not only value but also lessons that help scale this new way of working. We work with organizations to select visible and relevant pilots, establish agile processes, and measure results—building dashboards to track value delivery, squad performance, defects, and work progress.
- Adapt the operating model. By feeding learnings into the operating model, we fine-tune methodologies and set the stage for agile transformation. We define how roles and responsibilities will shift, drawing on a database of more than 3,000 role charters that detail accountabilities across functions. We address all components of the operating model, including governance, culture, leadership and talent, and technological enablers. We help embed the Unbroken Chain of Why, which ensures that every action taken is directly tied to strategic goals, creating a seamless link from vision to execution. And we work with clients to communicate changes—reducing ambiguity, and tension, as they deploy agile at scale.
- Build an agile playbook. Transforming to an agile organization won’t happen overnight. By building on initial projects, customizing best practices to a client’s context and culture, and enabling ongoing coaching, workshops, and pulse checks, we create a roadmap for enterprise agility—and a path for sustainable change.
