Agile Transformation
Agile way of working – Scaling Agile Framework
Today, many companies are facing the challenges posed by digital disruption. Especially in large enterprises with hundreds or even thousands of employees, the normal hierarchy structures are unable to fully cope with the higher complexity, time and innovation pressure.
The success of agile practices has been proven over many years. Scrum, Kanban and Continuous Integration have already become modern methodology standards when it comes to team work. Its roles and practices are integrated components of a modern and dynamic process-oriented organization.
At some-point, companies which have implemented team-oriented agile methods with numerous teams, face the limitation of synchronization among those teams. Therefore, an agile scaling framework is required. The most common and well-established framework in this context is the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe®).
Implementing Agile
To transform a whole company or even a company’s division by breaking through the existing hierarchies, organizational structures and silo thinking is much more complex compared to only implementing agile methods or even a scaled agile framework which build the necessary success tools. Furthermore, to lead an efficacious agile transformation, the company culture and its people in leading and managerial positions are critical success factors. Continental Business Consulting (CBC) accompanies your development towards an agile organization. Therefore, we analyze your specific strengths and challenges by using our tools and years of experiences, examine the potentials and risks of an agile transformation and develop a tailored transition strategy and roadmap.
Furthermore, it is important for CBC to provide consulting and coaching to companies on implementing agile methods successfully into their daily work, which means empowering them instead of just certifying them. Consequently, our training courses include not only the pure theory of the material. In fact, we want to deliver the experience of agile thinking and best practices to transfer the knowledge into your organization and adapt it to your individual needs.
