Agile at the Enterprise level or the Agile Enterprise was the result of a 1970s request to find a way to overcome the ‘near perfect’ processes introduced by Lean Six Sigma.

In the quest for perfect quality, enterprises defined and implemented standardised processes that eliminated unnecessary steps and reduced or even eliminated loss of material.

In Lean Six Sigma that was waste, and something that the customer was not willing to pay for. However, perfecting processes takes time, resources, knowledge and skill. In a very dynamic market, with continuous change in customer preferences, time to market and flexibility are also critical success factors.

Agile, by definition, embraces change. With constant and sometimes significant change comes risk and waste.

Agile is not a silver bullet, and many project failed to deliver, a good example being the first XP project that delivered only 30% of the intended outcome.

Attempts to scale-up practices that were successful for software development teams to large projects, departments or the organisational level are challenging from the cost/benefit point of view. Return to Lean practices is seen by many as an evolution of Agile despite basically going back in time 50 or more years,

In this webinar Stelian Roman (LinkedIn profile) reviews of the resurgence of Lean principles describing why and how Lean evolved and why it failed to adapt to the modern market. Practices like Kanban, Kaizen, Theory of Constraints, Servant Leader, to name just a few, are not new.

The second part of the webinar is an analysis of Lean vs Agile using DevOps, RPA and AI – three of the ‘new’ practices seen as Agile evolution. The webinar will conclude with a Q&A session.

Hiring with a diversity lens is an imperative to attracting, hiring and retaining diverse talent to your organization.

It has been statistically proven that organizations identified as more diverse and inclusive are 35% more likely to outperform their competitors and are 70% more likely to capture new markets and clients.

Furthermore, in this candidate market we are currently experiencing – two out of three candidates seek companies that have a diverse and inclusive culture.

The purpose of this project is to equip the Talent Acquisition Teams, recruiters and hiring managers with the knowledge, awareness, tools and language to not only address but also mitigate implicit biases throughout their recruitment processes.

Some of the topics discussed throughout this event will be identifying and overcoming implicit biases, developing equitable interview processes and providing diversity training for hiring managers as ultimately they are the final decision makers in the hiring process.

Takeaways: 

  • Deep understanding of biases and how to identify and mitigate them
  • Improve recruitment processes to be more equitable and inclusive for all
  • Develop a system for assessing candidates fairly
  • Create a business case for hiring diverse candidates to incorporate into their overall diversity and inclusion strategy and/or department operations
