In this session we will review how the COVID-19 pandemic changed the norms and expectations of our workforce, and how these changes create an unprecedented need for a redefined Agile mindset.
We will discuss three case studies from the lens of intrinsic motivational and continuous improvement measures. These are case studies of Agile transitions that went:
– too fast
– too slow
– just right
We will examine how leaders can avoid the pitfalls of the all too common “TACO” (terms and ceremonies only) transformation and instead to lead their organizations to adopt a mindset that enables a sustainable journey of continuous improvement.
