Agile Friendly Culture
Agile Friendly Culture
What is meant by Agile Friendly Culture in an Organization?
It is a collective behavior that can sense, respond to and change appropriately to leverage on opportunities that emerge with changes in the business environment.
Why is developing agile friendly culture necessary?
As business environments become increasingly turbulent, many opportunities for growth present themselves. However organizational cultures that are agile resistant impede the ability to leverage on these opportunities. Training in agile offers clarity in agile concepts but fails to enhance willingness to apply agile principles if the culture is agile resistant. Without an agile friendly culture, the ability to effectively compete in turbulent business environments remains elusive.
How can developing Agile Friendly Culture benefit your Organization?
It develops a collaborative work environment where incremental improvements become a norm. As an agile friendly culture forms, teams become receptive towards using agile techniques to solve problems, improve existing processes and achieving key performance indicators. It gradually enables collaborative ecosystems to develop organically through the adoption of practices that adopt agile principles. This is done gradually through a series of team based agile culture development sessions.
