My keynote at Scaling Agile India in Bangalore on Dec 7. In this talk, I have discussed the aspects around scaling agility across the organization and not just in software teams.
My keynote talk at Agile of the East, Kolkata on 11-Nov. In this talk, I have shared a perspective on what an agile transformation could bring, and some anti-patterns
In Agile Transformation, C comes before A by Syed RiyazuddinAgile ME
Almost 19 years since Agile Manifesto was published, organizations are still struggling to adopt and mature Agile. There is no one-size-fits-all when it comes to Agile transformation strategy, but plenty of learning from other successful/ failed initiatives.
I will discuss one of the crucial prerequisites of Agile transformation, Cultural assessment, referring to some of the popular models, such as Schneider and Laloux. But most importantly which framework would be most suitable, mapping to cultural type of a department/organization. Not limiting to Scrum, or Kanban, but considering other methods such as Lean, Design Thinking, DevOps etc, to formulate one that aligns with organization's culture. At two levels, first Adoption and then Scale (Scale -up or -out).
Along the way, I will share insights from my experience, some use cases, from working across organizations of various sizes and shapes, and the factors that enabled success in their transformation journeys.
Leadership Agility is the ability to rage effective action in complex rapid changing conditions. Team and organizational agility refer to the same set of capacities. Organizational agility is an ability for an organization to renew itself, adapt, change quickly, and succeed in a rapidly changing, ambiguous, turbulent environment. Agility is not incompatible with stability – agility requires stability.
Organizations striving to grow and sustain their success in these dynamic times often try to identify the characteristics in their executives that will propel the enterprise toward its potential. The prevailing thought goes something like this: we want greater organizational agility so what does that look like in our key people? Fair question, but not likely to lead them where they want to go.
The challenge is Organizational Agility is an outcome we can measure organizationally not a personal characteristic. The executives can do a number of things to increase the organization’s agility but they themselves don’t exhibit it.
Let's discuss all of these with Abiodun Osoba (International Lean/Agile Coach & Trainer for Enterprise Transformations)

Session Title: Enabling Business Agility through a simpler alternative
Session Detail: In these times of rapid change, Business agility has become a buzzword for organizations to not only survive but also grow and thrive. Though often used, Business Agility has varied shades, and means different things for organizations. The approach for transformation towards business agility can also be unique to organizations and the context in which they operate. In this talk we present our experiences coaching and consulting organizations in their transformation journey. We share a model for percolating change towards business agility, progressively from individual teams to the organization as a whole. Techniques (including Lean) used in our approach will be highlighted as we go through our story.

This is the outline of my 10-day business agility course for board members, executives, managers, and students. I would call it "core" material for the MBA of the 21st century. It can be done in various formats, one or two days at a time. I'll be giving pieces of it to audiences around the world all year. Learn more at businessagilityworkshop.com
In a turbulent environment, managers and leaders need to constantly adjust, cooperate and anticipate future changes. This presentation, given as part of PÖL Digital free meetup sessions, is an introduction to leadership agility as well as the Agile Profile®. Agile Profile is a management tool and a methodology to measure the level of agility of an organization, and identify how management behaviors and culture can be changed to better meet the demande of the environment.
KEY CONCEPT
Many organizations struggle to keep up because their culture, mindset and processes are designed for a Complicated domain (in Cynefin terms), whereas Agile is Business in Complexity.
ABSTRACT
How is it like for a manager to work in an environment where knowing the past will hardly help foresee the future? An environment where unpredictability and change are, in fact, the only constant? And how does this affect -- and is affected by -- the kind of intellectual work that is the true asset many organizations have, these days, to generate value?
In this talk we'll see how living and operating in the 21st century calls for a whole new set of skills for managers and how, most relevantly, calls for a mindset that's slightly different from the one we got used to in past decades.
We'll talk about the connection between mindset, complexity and agility; and you'll get some practical advice that can help you operate better in these domains.
The Vuca Company Book & Workshop IntroductionSuhayl Abidi
As a business leader, you've noticed there's been volatility and change in your world.
To survive in this NEW NORMAL, organizations must do things differently. Our goal with The VUCA Company book & workshop is to offer a PATH FORWARD and get you thinking about what you need to do, and where you should start.
Principles over Processes: Lasting Change in your Agile Transformation by Zia...Agile ME
Guiding an organisation through an Agile transformation is difficult, enabling it to change, almost impossible. Many Agile coaches rely on a variety of scaling frameworks that focus on specific processes and practices across the Agile transformation. Such an approach can only affect the climate of the organisation but rarely the deeper aspects of the culture or organisational personality to enable lasting change.
We need more of a principles-based approach that enables the organisations to take ownership and make changes that are created for its context. In this way, we can apply Agile principles to achieve agility across the entire domain of the organisation.
In this workshop, I’ll share with you the 10 principles of enterprise agility and walk you through how these principles can make a difference to your enterprise transformation and what every agile coach should be doing to help apply these principles in any setting, for any organisation to flourish.

People want to be part of something that is making a difference, delivering on a vision, fulfilling a social purpose, and having a positive impact on their customers. Agile invites us to innovate, experiment, explore, and learn. Through all this often we can miss the true impact we are making. I will share the top success factors I have discovered in Agile transformations around the globe that are connecting people to the goals they are striving to achieve.

This slideshare is all about lean operational excellence, agile, scrum, lean start-up, customer development, agile frameworks, evidence based product development….
Sorry, what? Can there be anymore buzzwords? You are right, that’s why today we’ll separate facts and fiction about these potential 'business-saving' frameworks.
Because let’s face it, the reality is that even though they are absolutely useful, no one can guarantee you that one of these frameworks will work for your own, unique company. You will need to know where to start and take away those elements that suit your specific situation.
Agile coaches Nikki de Kloe and Sander Goudswaard (MakerStreet/ Noun) will guide you through the why, how and what regarding all these value-orientated frameworks. They will show you how these frameworks can help you do your business today, tomorrow and in the very near future.
Through tips, tricks and of course several case studies you will learn their possibilities, potential pitfalls and success criteria; so you can gain an insight in how you can make these frameworks work for you.

A showcase of gritty, warts-and-all stories about the transformation toward agility of some of Australia’s biggest companies.
From IIT Academy, Hong Kong - meetup.com/IITAcademyHK
· Learn about how a critical government data organisation achieved a 240%+ increase in productivity in just six weeks.
· Hear about the market transforming mobile payments app that reinvigorated one of Australia’s big four banks. Challenges involved resistance from the organisation from line staff through to senior sponsors.
· Hear about how a multi-year flagship project at one of Australia’s major home loan providers was rescued. Out of budget and under-featured, this project was reinvigorated in just 6 months. Complexities included offshore vendors, major time-differences in operations and multiple vendors involved in a complex build.
In this talk, I have discussed the issues around the need to recognize the business problem being solved, how to identify that, etc. rather than only focusing on the tech.

The case study discusses the potential of drone delivery and the challenges that need to be addressed before it becomes widespread.
Key takeaways:
Drone delivery is in its early stages: Amazon's trial in the UK demonstrates the potential for faster deliveries, but it's still limited by regulations and technology.
Regulations are a major hurdle: Safety concerns around drone collisions with airplanes and people have led to restrictions on flight height and location.
Other challenges exist: Who will use drone delivery the most? Is it cost-effective compared to traditional delivery trucks?
Discussion questions:
Managerial challenges: Integrating drones requires planning for new infrastructure, training staff, and navigating regulations. There are also marketing and recruitment considerations specific to this technology.
External forces vary by country: Regulations, consumer acceptance, and infrastructure all differ between countries.
Demographics matter: Younger generations might be more receptive to drone delivery, while older populations might have concerns.
Stakeholders for Amazon: Customers, regulators, aviation authorities, and competitors are all stakeholders. Regulators likely hold the greatest influence as they determine the feasibility of drone delivery.
