RE: Adoption Versus Transformation

The problem I have with the “agile transformation” is that it implies that you just toss out all the old process, replace it with new process, and everything is fine; the organization makeover is done.

Big changes are risky changes. It makes no sense it all to bite off a change across all of the org when you can do it in small steps.

I doubt that you’ll succeed in transforming the organization, but you might make some people’s lives better.



Right. "Agile Tranformation" and "Organizational Transformation" are just marketing terms. What you can actually do is uplift teams and individuals. Also, if you can get the leadership to recognize that uplifting teams and individuals is valuable it can have a big impact on the organization, but it doesn't "transform" it per se.
