Back in 2014, one of the service's business unit of World's biggest networking company with 1000+ employees wanted to embrace Agile methodology. The company hired Agile consultant and went all in to the transformation starting with 3 day Agile onboarding session. There were 55 scrum teams both in US and India who were disrupted by Agile and were sailing against the wind.

In 2016, after many re-orgs, one of the biggest program in the service's business unit went Agile with a beautiful kick off session and introduced 'Centre Of Excellence' to give more meaning for the transformation effort.

Come and join me for story telling on interesting case studies of Agile transformation. If transformation was successful what made it success, if not what were the reasons for the failure. What's the role of culture in enabling transformation ?

Finally, let's together explore how to build a culture that supports transformation. The practical use case of Winning team's framework (Research WIP) that is methodology agnostic in creating winning teams would be discussed. .

Culture is a soft concept and like strategy it cannot be copied. Is there a way to measure culture? If not, then how do we say whether particular culture is good or bad? As an individual how often do we change our behavior to adapt to a new situation? If changing one’s behavior is tough, then how difficult is to change behavior of big Organization?

Organization's culture is the sum of belief and behaviors of all employees. It is built on values and drives Organizational effectiveness through Competitive advantage. The visible part of cultural iceberg drives us to think what we see and believe in our Organization constitutes the culture. There is also big portion of cultural iceberg that is not visible to the employees that drives the hard reality.

Come join me to visualize and understand a world of culture delivered to you in a capsule. You would not only multiply your knowledge but will go home with resonating thoughts that would drive you to do more!!

Let us together explore below topics:

• 'The way we say we get things done’ vs ‘The way we really get things done’
• Different dimensions of Corporate and National culture
• Explore the complete cultural iceberg
• How do we build a strong culture?
• Vision vs Mission Vs Strategy Vs Culture
• Case studies on Culture and Transformation

Finally, I will present my research based winning team cultural framework that bolsters employee engagement through ‘‘If Organization work towards welfare of employees, the employees will work for it well"
