Management coaching

The key to a successful agile transformation is for leaders, particularly senior leaders, to develop substantially new mind-sets and capabilities.

Some examples of what we can talk about:

• Fostering innovation. Today, leaders need to shift to a creative mind-set of discovery, which is about playing to win, seeking diversity of thought, fostering creative mindsets, embracing risk, and experimenting.
• From authority to partner. To design and build an agile organization, leaders need a different set of skills based on a different understanding of organizations. They must learn to design their organization as a distributed, continually evolving system.
• Shape an agile organizational culture. Leaders need to develop the ability to shape a new culture across the organization, based on the creative mind-sets of discovery.
• Fostering collaboration. Agile organizations require an underlying creative mindset of partnerships based on freedom, trust, and accountability.
