In this world of exponentially increasing market disruption, it is more imperative than ever for organizations to not only achieve operational agility (efficiency, speed, etc.), but also organizational agility (speed to respond to market change).
Traditional Leadership Paradigms, Org. Structures, and Culture all get in the way, as too many companies focus on team level change and framework implementation (Scrum and SAFe). In this session, we explore how leaders can guide their organizations past these barriers and accelerate the momentum towards true organizational agility.

Organizational Agility: Take Agile Beyond the Team - Webinar w/ David HawksAgile Velocity
The benefits of total organizational agility can be seen in many of the world’s largest companies--think Google, Apple, and Amazon. While they may not explicitly call themselves capital-“A” Agile, they work with a heavy emphasis on Agile principles like a focus on delivering value, shortened feedback loops, quick time-to-market, and an opposition to traditional top-down management techniques. These principles go beyond teams. Instead, they are ingrained throughout the whole organization and its culture.
As a result, these companies have the ability to change and adapt to their markets and have now grown into industry leaders. How did they do it? What can you learn from the changes they’ve made?
In this webinar, David Hawks discusses 7 ways your organization can begin operating more like some of the top companies in the world.
Key discussion points include:
- What is organizational agility and what are the benefits?
- 7 ways to bring organizational agility to your business
- Why is it imperative to apply Agile principles across the whole organization?
- Q&A with the audience

Getting Started with Agile: A Guide to Building High Performing TeamsAgileThought
Agile has exploded in the last decade. Started in the software industry, Agile has now gone mainstream and is being adopted by a wide range of organizations. This rapid growth can be attributed to its core principles of delivering customer value quickly, while seamlessly dealing with change.
Due to this growth, there is a ton of online information about how best to become Agile. Many training courses focus on adopting an "Agile Mindset" or learning a prescribed framework like Scrum. Blog articles discuss specific Agile practices, like the daily standup meeting, while webinars promise increased ROIs and customer satisfaction. For newcomers, this information can be overwhelming, especially for those assessing if Agile is even applicable to them.
What is lacking is a clear guide on how to get started. This talk will explain why every Agile journey must begin with the formation of independent, cross-functional teams that do not require assistance from outside resources to deliver value. We will focus on how to create high performing Agile teams by instilling a culture of accountability and transparency. Finally, we will review the critical Agile practices to which every team must adhere with commitment and discipline.

Next Level Agile @ ProductCamp Austin 20 - 2/2018Agile Velocity
Today most Agile teams are trying to achieve predictable, fast delivery. While that may keep your zombie competitors at bay, it’s no longer good enough especially in this highly competitive, rapidly changing playing field. It’s not just about Agile team execution anymore. Next Level Agility is about the ability of the entire organizations to quickly adapt to market changes.
In this session at PCS20, David Hawks shared principles and practices that are the future of Agile organizations. Together, he and the audience reset the bar on how great Agile organizations operate by moving beyond practices like user stories, project plans, stakeholder feedback, continuous integration, and velocity, and towards a new Next Level Agile Manifesto with an emphasis on Discovery over Execution.
User Stories Suck - David Hawks, Agile 2018Agile Velocity
Enjoy the full slide deck from David Hawks' presentation, User Stories Suck, from Agile 2018.
The current Epic and User Story process is stale and needs to go. David Hawks presented a new discovery centered model driven by Objectives, Hypothesis, and Experiments.
Agile speaks of putting people first; however in my experience, people are the poor stepchild to process and tools. It’s not about getting scrum teams “more agile” it’s about shaping the organization's culture to support agile development. It’s necessary to understand the areas needed to create a culture that supports agile development. We have to wonder, are we asking ourselves the right questions? How do we engage our staff to create an agile workforce? How do we hire the right people? What is a manager's role in this new self-organized culture? How do we motivate those people? How do we connect them with the customer? It’s about embodying the spirit of agility to get all the magic of a startup and scaling that across a large organization.
In this session, we will talk about building your organization’s culture to support scaling organizational agility to keep the team passionate and purposeful.

Agile = No Planning = No Bull$h!t - Reese Schmit - Keep Austin Agile 2018Agile Velocity
A common misconception is that Agile teams don’t plan. Reese is here to tell you, that’s bull$h!t. Agile teams plan all the time, but they focus on doing so at the right time and the right fidelity. How long did it take you to plan your last six-month project before the team started working? Weeks? Months?!
What if we said in 45 minutes Reese could teach you how to plan that six-month project in 10% of the time it would have taken you to plan the old way? During this learning-packed workshop, attendees learned how to plan the Agile way. Using a real project, attendees built a backlog, estimate that backlog, prioritize it, order based on ROI, capacity plan, and track to completion.
The goal is to not deliver a plan. The goal is to deliver value. So join Reese in learning how to plan at the right time, in less time, so your teams can get to the delivering value part that really matters.

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.
