SAFe Agile Consultancy

Not to reject the Agile scaling frameworks but to change our relationship with them, we ask a question: What, compared to process, scales more easily – i.e. works at every organisational scale? Among the many things that do are dialogue, strategising, organising, and bringing together outcomes. Taking a closer look at the strategy part, we will explore what it means to lead with outcomes in the wholehearted organisation – one that is committed to engaging with its challenges and contradictions that seeks to deepen the relationship between planning and doing at every scale, and that is energised by the initiative of the people closest to the need and the opportunity.Takeaways:A simple model for leadership at every levelThe power of agreement on outcomes before solutionsA flavour of what strategy in the language of needs, obstacles, and outcomes looks and feels likeHow to integrate the development and pursuit of strategyAbout Speaker:Mike Burrows: Agendashift founder and Agendashift Academy co-founder Mike Burrows is the author of Agendashift: Outcome-oriented change and continuous transformation (2nd edition March 2021), Right to Left: The digital leader's guide to Lean and Agile (2019, audiobook 2020), and the Lean-Agile classic Kanban from the Inside (2014).
