Melanie Demystifies Agile!

Demystifying Agile from APMG International on Vimeo.

  1. Do you know what Agile means for your organisation?
  2. Do you know what to do to become more Agile?
  3. Are you feeling confused by the terminology?
  4. Have you heard about Agile brands like Scrum and Scaled Agile Framework® (SAFe®) but don’t know what they mean?
  5. Do you know who to involve in developing your Agile approach?

A key part of the cultural transformations that Melanie Franklin is involved in is the desire to become more Agile. A common issue across all these transformations is the confusion around what Agile is and what it will mean for the organisation.

In this webinar Melanie is going to start with the basics explaining:

  1. The different Agile brands,
  2. The principles of Agile working and
  3. How this translates into Agile processes and a lifecycle model.

She will differentiate between development and project implementation and show how change management is a critical element of effective Agile working.

Melanie will also use examples to show how Agile can be applied to all sorts of initiatives and that it is not just for IT.

Presenter: Melanie Franklin, (LinkedIn profile, @AgileMelanie) has a track record of excellence in project, programme and portfolio planning & delivery. She has set up and run the project management capability for several major corporates and has been responsible for the successful delivery of global transformational change programmes for over twenty years. Co-chair of the Change Management Institute in the UK, Melanie is a ‘Master’ level change practitioner and author of many books on change and project management including Managing Business Transformation: A Practical Guide; Agile Change Management: A Practical Framework for Successful Change Planning and Implementation.  and her newest book Communicating Change: How to control your own change initiative.

In this seminar, Dr. Blaize Reich (LinkedIn profile) will first discuss two practices which can position a project to deliver value: Design Thinking and Benefits Mapping.

Then she will  review findings from a large scale study done to compare predictive and agile methodologies. An unexpected and interesting finding is that combining predictive and agile practices into a hybrid approach can produce good outcomes.

Digital technologies are disrupting organizations of every size and shape, leaving managers scrambling to find a technology fix that will help their organizations compete.

This presentation offers managers and business leaders a guide for navigating digital disruptions—but it is not a presentation about technology. It is about the organizational changes required to harness the power of technology, many of which have become essential as companies seek to adapt to the global disruption caused by COVID-19.

Prof. Gerald Kane (LinkedIn profile) argues that digital disruption is primarily about people and that effective digital transformation involves changes to organizational dynamics and how work gets done.

A focus only on selecting and implementing the right digital technologies is not likely to lead to success. The best way to respond to digital disruption is by changing the company culture to be more agile, risk tolerant, and experimental.

Gerald draws on five years of research, surveying more than 20,000 people and conducting interviews with over 100 leaders at such companies as Walmart, Google, MetLife, John Hancock, and Salesforce. He introduces the concept of digital maturity—the ability to take advantage of opportunities offered by the new technology—and address the specifics of digital transformation, including cultivating a digital environment, enabling intentional collaboration, and fostering an experimental mindset.

Every organization needs to understand its “digital DNA” in order to stop “doing digital” and start “being digital.” Digital disruption won’t end anytime soon; the average worker will probably experience numerous waves of disruption during the course of a career.

The insights offered by this presentation will hold true through them all.
