SAFe, LESS, SCRUM & Co Fail To Deliver Large-Scale Initiatives
The past decade has been a true success story for product-centric organizations – aka agile transformation. The quality of individual IT silos, employee motivation and the diversity of ideas have skyrocketed.
However, this success came at the cost of innovations that require simultaneous contributions of several silos or even a significant reorganisation of the team landscape. An imbalance has arisen that favours local optimisation over end-to-end innovation.
The Next Step: Three Simple Measures Make The Difference
We suggest applying three simple measures to implement large-scale innovations in your product-centric organisation.
Install the Leadership Triangle: a core team of change experts covering the skills of coordination, requirements, and solution design.
Establish the Initiative Overview Map (IOM): centralised overview and transparency to create commitment in your initiative organisation.
Set-up the Virtual E2E Solution Organisation (VEO): a multiplier to bring your initiative goals and updates to all involved teams conveying a sense of ownership and group identity.
Transformation 2.0 Is A Product-Project-Hybrid That Combines The Strengths Of Two Worlds
Nobody wants to return to the era of projects, despite the poor performance of agile approaches to large-scale initiatives.
Transformation 2.0 builds on the benefits of self-organised, product-centric organisations and adds the superpower of top-down change.
