Real-world enterprise agility lessons from Accenture and Atlassian: when good intentions lead to bad outcomes
In a matter of days, Covid-19 accelerated the role of digital transformation in every business by a decade. Most executives had digital transformation as a priority, not the priority. Today, the agility that digital-first companies embrace is the defining difference between thriving and not.
In this webinar we will:
- Define what an agile enterprise really looks like
- Walk through the 5 biggest pitfalls of an agile transformation
- Share where we see companies are getting it wrong
- Provide principles to guide your path forward
Until this point, your agile transformation may have been a work in progress, happening in pockets of teams or certain business units. You may have worked towards the long-term goal of organization-wide agility, but it’s been elusive. The time for multi-year transformation initiatives is over: now is time to become a truly agile enterprise.
An agile transformation can do more harm than good if you’re not careful. Leading a dynamic, collaborative organization across engineering, IT, finance, and more requires technical skill, an understanding of agility as a mindset, and knowledge of how to evolve culture and behavior across a large number of diverse teams. Other companies have already walked this path and have the scars to prove it. With their lessons learned, your transformation will have a greater chance of success.
