About the session
Themes: Agile Transformation
Many organisational change efforts start with a splash but fail to make waves. With Agile, we often see surface-level shifts like renamed roles and meetings, but deeper cultural layers stay untouched.
This isn’t surprising. Change is hard, even in our personal lives. We say we want something new, yet find ourselves treading the same old waters.
This talk explores what it takes to spark change, starting at the individual level. Sharing experience of coaching, systemic thinking, psychology, and Agile in unusual contexts, we’ll explore how to humanise change, leading to powerful waves across teams and organisations.
Whether you're guiding Agile adoption, new technology practices, or seeking growth, you'll gain practical ideas to use straightaway to start a ripple effect.
Participant takeaways:
- Identify what gets in the way of change
- Learn strategies to support change at an individual level
- Understand how to scale these strategies to help teams and organisations
- Reflect on what you can do to create more meaningful change for yourself and work
