THE EVOLUTION OF THE TRANSFORMATION SPRINT Flow |

@BusinessAgilityInstitute
Business Agility Transformation sprint Digital transformations Haydn and Fin will tell a story about how the Transformation Sprint Method, evolved from their work in supporting transformations in a variety of organisations. The Transformation Sprint evolved from their work on Enterprise Flow where they observed a number of fault lines in how business transformations are designed and then executed. In response to this they began to work on the concept of a generative operating model, a way to tempt leaders away from one big bang transformation program towards creating a sophisticated learning environment so that their teams could figure out what the transformation really needed. Coupled to the new concept of a Lighthouse Project, this became the Transformation Sprint, a 4 week transformation design exercise that radically reduces transformation risk, setting up a platform for success. The Story * How transformations are designed and how this contributes to the problems they encounter * The psychology of transformation design and why we are predisposed to designing them in the wrong way * Typical problems in transformations that you can use to quickly identify what will go wrong with yours * The concept of generative operating models * The design of lighthouse projects * How these fit into the agile sprint context for transformations * How to implement a transformation sprint The Learning * Why we design transformations the way we do and why this is somewhat inevitable but almost always wrong. * How to spot these traits in your own design. * What it means to “plan” a target operating model and why this idea should give way to the generative operating model. * Designing transformations as learning experiences that carry very little risk. |
