Case Study for an Agile transformation, imagine the scenario:
- The company has lost 25% in revenue & people.
- The employee Net Promoter Score (eNPS) is down to a record low of 51%.
- The leadership team has failed a previous Agile transformation miserably and could not inspire a positive sustainable change.
- Faced with a survival challenge that could have led to site closure - things needed to transform across the whole organization.
We were part of the team that led the transformation and some of the core issues we faced included:
- Top leaders disconnected from delivery teams
- Leadership behaviours challenged to the limits
- Extremely low staff motivation
- Project managers burning out
- Customers unhappy
- Suppliers ready to cancel
With the gravity of the situation at hand - how would you lead change as you try to initiate, transform and sustain the positive mindset and culture?
Come Join Us! on this roller coaster ride with a truly epic transformation that nearly failed twice. See true inspirational & resilient Agile Leadership Behaviours in action and get practical tips for steering change and see how we achieved:
- A record-breaking eNPS growth to 78% in four months.
- The organization was able to break-even by the 5th month.
- Forecasted 25% predicted growth for the next year.
