Tearing down the walls: Leveraging Lean and Agile methods to create your own
This document discusses leveraging Lean and Agile methods to transform organizational culture. It begins with a quick survey about employee satisfaction with current culture. Then an exercise is described where participants pair up and explain or explore words/phrases that convey something true about themselves. Next, the document defines culture and references models of successive stages of human and organizational consciousness. It contrasts characteristics of a culture undergoing Agile adoption versus transformation, noting differences like hierarchical versus servant leadership structures and fear/micromanagement versus trust/empowerment. The goal is to help organizations evolve from rigidly following processes to creating their own adapted processes.
