Talk by Aaron Kopel from Project Brilliant on shifting organizational culture through Leadership Agility at the Agile Cincinnati meetup on November 14, 2019. We talked through a brief history of management, the Leadership Agility model, and the Competing Values Framework (CVF), and how to utilize these tools to shift organizational culture by addressing the Structure, Policies, and Metrics that guide the organization. Thanks to all who attended, asked questions, and shared feedback! #ProjectBrilliant
