Event Overview

Leading organizations in the digital age are expanding agile operating models from a team to a corporate level. And agile leaders play a critical role in the transformation. They understand the company’s vision – the north star – and the chasm between the current state and the vision. In essence, agile leaders must be the catalyst to drive change management within the organization. Agile leaders need to recruit champions that can translate the value of agile to the company’s vision to their colleagues and, most importantly, business leaders.

This session will cover:

  • How to design a structure for the organization to expand agile to the enterprise level
  • Getting the right stakeholders in to align on the company’s vision – from strategy to execution
  • Finding the right champions that will become the backbone of the transformation
