Synopsis

Adopting the latest agile tools and practices won't be enough to respond to rapid market change. Leaders must first lay the groundwork by creating the right environment for these tools to work.

An ever-growing pile of frameworks and tools falsely offer an "easy route" to organizational agility. However, responding to rapid market change requires you alter so much more than just your way of working. Your work style is only one of six factors that the Agile Centre's research identifies as the key to success. From years of experience certifying people in agile leadership, product ownership, and scrum mastery, Karim Harbott has created a model that will help your organization achieve all six factors required for success: leadership, culture, structure, engagement, and governance as well as ways of working together. Drawing from Harbott's famous Business Agility Canvas, this book will help leaders get realistic about the scope of the changes needed in their organization and show them how to get started.

Goodreads review by Chris on November 14, 2023

I really wanted to like this book and some parts I did, but on the whole it felt a bit too theoretical and at times shallow. I would have like to hear more about the reality of transformations for example hearing about how to overcome people with entrenched view points, managers who feel threatened,......more
