Presentation: Culture Eats Principles for Breakfast
Location:
- Windsor, 5th flr.
Duration
Day of week:
- Wednesday
Abstract
Agile at scale means different things to different people depending on their context.
We want to share our personal experiences of very large scale Agile transformation, what we have done and how we’ve done it, not only in IT but beyond IT. Very large in our context is over 130,000 employees in 50 countries with four main businesses in Financial Services and a history of more than 300 years.
We will look at the challenge of using Agile to bring about culture change from different perspectives, comparing and contrasting what needs to be done at an organisational level to make change happen and how that change can be perceived at a team level.
We will share both what has gone well and what we would do differently. We hope to inspire you with our ideas on how to get started and which next steps to take in order to advance your organisations towards greater agility.
