Agile hacks for transforming small organisations

From scrums to Niko-Niko calendars, it’s easy to get overwhelmed with the vast extent of tools, routines and language of Agile. And as the CEO of the Institute of Public Administration that embraced Agile as a key strategy to transform the organisation, it was important to get clear on where to start. In a 12-person team, building Agile principles into the four foundations of the workplace: mindset, systems, behaviours and culture.

During this session, Madeleine will describe what and how they did it and share with you some insightful ‘ah huh’ moments – the principles that have transformed the business, increased their ability to meet the needs of 21,226 members and helped them to adapt to the most challenging work environment the 87-year-old organisation has ever faced. If you’re a leader or a Lone Ranger who is Agile-curious, time-poor and resource-limited, this talk is for you!
