Enterprise Agile Transformation initiatives are BIG. Change at this scale of thousands is tough. 

The Leaders and Executives involved in these initiatives are going through their own personal transformation. Change at this scale of one is equally tough. 

Since our last session at Agile India 2016, (March 2016), we have worked with several hundred more leaders, put on two gatherings for leadership story telling, published two books etc.. You'll hear a lot of new stories direct from the field, with those experiencing the transformation firsthand.  

Siraj Sirajuddin (SPCT4) has worked with hundreds of executives leading enterprise agile transformation initiatives. These are their stories of personal growth and individuation. We will hear how transformation at a personal level is the leverage for transformation at a collective level. We will also learn of unique methods that activate personal transformation for leaders who are ready to step into their leader persona but are unable to get that from traditional leadership training and coaching methods.

India has won the offshore development game by numbers. The offshore advantage is firmly with Indian software services players.

How will India continue to win this game? How are the leading Indian software services companies going to provide Enterprise Agility advantage to their clients? How are they transforming themselves to enable their clients transformation? How are the GICs (Captives) adopting Scaled Agile to match the “Motherships”?
