Webinar #3: “Teaching and Coaching Agility without Agile methods”
In this webinar, we report on our experience of teaching and coaching Agility across different parts of the organization without (going down the rabbit hole of) Agile Methods. We explain how to build the common foundations to build bridges between the islands of agility. We show how to use simulation and develop causal loop diagrams that make explicit the underlying assumptions of what Agility means and how it can be achieved. This leads to a deeper understanding of how work works (as a system), and how to create flow and manage uncertainty irrespective of the agile method that is being used and the part of the business that one is in. Causal loop diagrams serve as an instrument to understand the self-reinforcing loops that keep the team or organization trapped in its current way of working. They also help to identify the levers that need to be pulled to turn vicious into virtuous loops boosting the organization’s resilience. It changes the discussion from “agile transformation”- a one-off process with “agile” as an end-point, to bootstrapping business agility – a process of continuous adaptation and renewal.
