Course description

This two-day practical class is designed for executives, managers, consultants - all the influencers within organizations who are excited and challenged about creating sustainable agility at the whole-company level and solving existing problems with scaling agility beyond the team-level and framework.

Designing for agility with OrgTopologies

A framework-agnostic approach for creating innovative, resilient and adaptive large-scale product development organizations.

Introduction: Organizational Topologies

Some say: "Agile is dead!" Is it? Or has it been downgraded to mean team-level agility? Today’s solutions create tomorrow’s problems. By focusing on team-level agility, organizations have created the need for scaling. Scaling is a problem. It is not a solution. It is a self-inflicted issue caused by a lack of system thinking.

Others say: "Business agility is the new path!" But is there "another agility"? Hasn't agility always been for the benefit of everyone: developers, customers, and managers? For the whole business? The fact that we need something like business agility is a symptom of failure.

At Org Topologies, we don’t believe that agile is dead or that business agility is the new focus.

We believe there is a need to revive the agile revolution: Ride the second wave of Agile! We must focus on both in-team and inter- team collaboration. We need to embrace value-creating ecosystems by looking from the outside in, organizing around value, and creating strong cohesion with teams of teams.

About the event

During this course, participants will practice advanced thinking for organizational design and will apply Org Topologies to better understand organizational design dynamics. After completion of this two day course, participants will be able to assess their organizational design and understand the consequences and deviations of implementation choices. This will allow them to create an improved target operating model and a controlled path towards that end state.

Organizational maps will allow participants to discuss transformations using a common language to reflect on your challenges. Org Topologies will enable participants to own and master their path toward higher states of adaptability, starting from wherever you are now and towards whatever level of agility your organization requires. Participants will learn about the limitations of investing in improving teams and how organizations can be simplified by organizing around customer value.
