This book provides the missing link of how to shift mindsets on how to work effectively.
The word agile has moved far beyond its original meaning in helping to transform large organizations. We now know that agile is used as the tool to accelerate an organization's ability to adapt and thrive in a world of accelerating change.
This book provides the missing link of how to shift mindsets on how to work effectively. This shift requires an investigation of how we can move organizations in the way they think about work-especially work that does not easily conform to the traditional plan-driven approach.
Agile has proven to be the go-to approach to begin to transform organizations in the digital age. Without agile, large organizations struggle to keep up with their nimbler competitors. There are not only external threats, but also internal threats. Employees want to work for customer obsessed organizations that have more than just a profit motive. Agile goes a long way in convincing existing and potential talent that you are the right place for them. Customers have many more options today than they did in the last century, so agile is a way to rally your entire organization toward becoming customer obsessed. All of the potential benefits of agile will not be realized until the leaders first have a higher-level understanding of the mindset that is critical to undertaking the successful journey to becoming more agile.
This book provides readers with an understanding of how to take full advantage of agility at the enterprise level, including deep work required on the following fronts:
• The organization expanding their thinking and behavior. • The organization creating new processes to support the use of agile. • Individuals growing in the use of empiricism, which is the foundation of agility. • Leaders taking on new roles and focusing on different activities.
The author takes the reader on a journey to be able to think in an A.G.I.L.E way. The approach taken is reflective and allows time for the insight to understand how to think differently about teams, work, and even organizations. It is said that all organizations are technology organizations, if that is true it brings risks and opportunities that many organizations have not seen before. The framework of the book will help grow a new way of thinking and is anchored in: Adaptability; Growth; Improvement; Leadership; Experience.
The author explores how all organizations can embrace a way of thinking that will allow the benefits of agile to be realized. Most of the books on this subject focus on identifying the mechanics of a particular practice within the agile space but fail to define the overarching thinking that makes them so effective. These include, but are not limited to, the use of Scrum, XP, or Kanban. While these are necessary works and lay the foundation for agile practices, they do not address the mindset shift to take full advantage of these practices. They also lack advice on how to use these practices in a determined and purposeful way to continue to grow in an agile way of thinking.
In order to make the full transition to thinking in an A.G.I.L.E way you will need to challenge everything you think you know about leading and working in large organizations.
