Guiding an organisation through an Agile transformation is difficult, enabling it to change, almost impossible. Many Agile coaches rely on a variety of scaling frameworks that focus on specific processes and practices across the Agile transformation. Such an approach can only affect the climate of the organisation but rarely the deeper aspects of the culture or organisational personality to enable lasting change. We need more of a principles-based approach that enables the organisations to take ownership and make changes that are created for its context. In this way, we can apply Agile principles to achieve agility across the entire domain of the organisation. In this workshop, I’ll share with you the 10 principles of enterprise agility and walk you through how these principles can make a difference to your enterprise transformation and what every agile coach should be doing to help apply these principles in any setting, for any organisation to flourish.
