Leading Lean: The Modern Approach to Enterprise Transformation
Are you struggling to understand why your transformation efforts just don't seem to be producing the expected results, despite all of your planning and effort? Enterprise transformation is much more than the mechanics of teaching your Scrum teams to sprint and building a magnificent DevOps pipeline. Somehow, on our journey to agility, lean leadership aspects were left behind, to the point that lean and agile have become disconnected schools of thought. Agile was born out of lean, so how did this happen? Let's have a lively discussion about how to reconnect the dots so that today's transformational leaders truly understand what is required to achieve enterprise-wide success. Together, we will explore why this connection was broken, what changes are needed to fuse it back together again, and how both agile and lean can be incorporated into your transformation efforts to ensure you are on a journey of continuous improvement and long-term success. If you really want to lead transformational change, come get a complete perspective on the mindset and tools required to succeed!
