Most of the organizations focus on adherence to frameworks, Agile practices, restructuring of teams & roles as part of Agile Transformation with minimal focus on cultural transformation. Even the very few organizations that do focus on Cultural transformation focus primarily on habits and policies than those driving the mindset, values and purpose. The intent of this workshop is to get the participants to understand the importance of cultural transformation, the aspects that one needs to focus on and also the means needed to define the organizational culture than it defining the individual.

The hands-on interactive session will introduce the participants to the Language, Habits and Mindset (LHM) template to be able to clearly distinguish the need for focusing on Organizational culture and the active involvement of the C-suite and Senior Leadership in defining the culture needed in the new ways of working.

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.
