April 13, 2022 (Virtual): How to Make Agile Tangible for Executives w/Dennis Stevens

How to Make Agile Tangible for Executives 

One of the biggest reasons Agile Transformations struggle is indifference and a lack of engagement on the part of the executives. I've seen our industry provide a lot of advice to executives about how effective engagement should look.Dennis will explore how to present a model that executives can leverage to help understand where the organization needs to change and provide guidance on aligning all the experts who are making the change to optimize improvement. Dennis will offer insights into how executives can delegate change into the organization while providing leadership throughout the Transformation.
