Abstract: Peter Drucker is attributed with saying “Culture eats Strategy for Breakfast”. Teams and organizations in the public sector are increasingly adopting Agile delivery methods, which can come with great cultural challenges. We often forget about the human aspect of transformation. Organizations need to understand that culture is just as important as process and strategy.
Public sector culture is very unique and can be challenging to understand. We have seen that Agile transformations can be supported by organizational culture but more often than not, the existing culture kills the transformation. In this workshop, we will explore this cultural shift and develop concrete strategies within the working groups. This talk is informed not just by theory, but by our Agile coaching work within a large government program with dozens of teams.
Learning Outcomes: - This talk/workshop will help individuals to understand cultural challenges and best navigate through them
- Attendees will also learn to align people around and create a culture that supports Agile delivery
- Attendees will create techniques/activities to manage the non human aspect of the transformation
- Attendees will walk away with strategies they can apply in their transformational shifts
