TOPIC: Learn the culture first, then the processes and Techniques

ABSTRACT:

Intended audience (role, level of experience):

Leaders, Scrum masters, Product owners – advanced level

Type of talk (level of abstraction):

This will be a knowledge sharing talk, where we are focusing on why it is important to learn the organizational culture first and then focus on processes and techniques.

Summary of your paper:

Imagine your company has started a transformation and suddenly it hit the ceiling and wondering what just happened.  This is a usual challenge many organizations are facing because they might not be aware of importance of the culture first and how to align organization’s culture with the agile values.

During my session, I’ll share my two stories and learnings about why it is important to learn the culture first and then processes and techniques?

You’ll learn about difference between inside-out and outside-in approach.

You’ll get introduced a model to identify your current and desired organizational culture.

You’ll learn, why it is important to consider the whole system when working with organizational transformation and leadership.

This session is about my personal journey and learning how might we enable agility in the organization. I’m going to share my 2 real cases from a Scale-up FinTech Company and a large French Digital Automation & Energy Management company.

Three take aways of your paper:

How might we understand organizational culture and learn about Inside-out approach?

How might we identify your current organizational culture?

How might we consider the whole system when initiating an organizational transformation?

Interaction with the crowd:

Interactive session where the knowledge will be shared, and the crowd will be invited to share their experience and their learning.

During the session, people will have a time to investigate the canvas and share their challenges during the transformation.  o Questions such as:

What were we missing?

What happened

How might we do differently next time?
