This is a  Volatile, Uncertain, Complex and Ambiguous (VUCA) world!

In this world, the race doesn’t go to the swift, strong, or smart . . . the race goes to the most agile.

Who are the most agile? 

Those who learn from experience, co-evolve with complex adaptive systems and innovate within the system in which they work and live.

In this webinar, attendees will learn about VUCA and why innovation and agility are the silver bullets to turn the threats into opportunities.

Management has long seemed to be the forgotten aspect of Lean-Agile organizations.

Many in the agile community even talk about protecting their teams from management. This session discusses how management is an essential aspect of any lean-agile transition that involves more than just a couple of teams.

While the business side of the organization must select the proper product enhancements to work on and the teams must actually do the work, management’s role is just as critical.

It must provide the organizational structure that allows for the flow of ideas to be manifested as value to the customers.

Lean-thinking provides new opportunities for managers to lead, coach and support their teams in order to accomplish this.

Outline:

• Managers as leaders, coaches and agents of organizational change
• Why managers are essential to lean-agile transformations
• How Lean-Thinking enables managers to improve the organization

Primary target audience of session: Executives to team leads
Also useful for: Anyone else
