Want a Sustainable Agile Transformation? Develop Your Org’s Agile Coaching Capability

Most companies that transition to Agile do so because they want the speed and innovation Agile promises. However, to realise that promise takes more than standing up and training teams.

Great Agile teams need solid Agile Coaches as an embedded 21st century leadership function, not just as a temporarily hired-out workforce using external consultants.

Perhaps more importantly, though, organisations need solid Agile Coaches as an essential component for establishing the deep and sustainable capability required to become a truly agile organisation. We now have learning pathways and skills training that make it possible to reliably develop an organisation’s agile coaching capability, from team-level Facilitators (such as ScrumMasters and Kanban Leads) to program-level Coaches to Enterprise Coaches.

In this session, Lyssa and Michael lay bare this development path, illustrates the organizational impact you can expect skilled Agile Coaches to have at each level of development, and shares emerging strategies for developing an organization’s overall agile capability.

I believe that Agile is a brilliant, emergent response to help us thrive in our ever-increasingly complex, changeable and interconnected world. My current focus is coaching Leadership Teams to take up the Agile transformation that is theirs to do -- on both a personal and group level. For many years I have been a passionate contributor to the discipline and profession of Agile Coaching and have trained many thousands of agilists in the knowledge, skills, and mindsets needed to coach teams and organizations to get full benefits of Agile. In 2010, I authored Coaching Agile Teams which has sold 75,000+ and been translated into 10 languages.
