The Trojan Horse that leads your Transformation to Agility

About

Did your enterprise agile transformation start with the Finance and HR departments? No? You are not alone. Are they on the roadmap to be next? Maybe they should be…

Agile is a mindset and a habit, using some frameworks and practices. However, it is hard to be agile when we need to provide all the answers at the end of each year for the entire following year or when we report in a waterfall manner. So, the way we do budgeting, forecasting, performance assessment, rewards & recognition, and cost control can be either enabling or hindering agility. 

In this episode, we’ll walk through an example of how we transform the whole organisation by stealth by evolving the Finance and HR departments. By evolving it this way, you achieve the transformation at a fraction of the price of traditional transformation programmes.

Evan Leybourn, the founder of the Business Agility Institute, has been many things throughout his career: a satellite engineer (not what it sounds like), a library assistant (exactly what it sounds like), a koala (long story), a Business Intelligence developer, and a manager amongst others. In all of these roles, he has made mistakes and has failed. Anyone who has heard him speak before should know that business agility is a journey, not a destination. But what may not be clear is that while it's a corporate journey, it's also a personal one for Evan.So which of those mistakes and failures brought him to business agility? And what did he learn along the way? Find out what he has learned as we chat with him in this series on Change is the Only Constant.
