Creating Agile Organizations (A Systemic Approach) und die Unterschiede zu LeSS

-> Watch the video here <-

Cesario Ramos describes in this talk Creating Agile Organizations as a Systemic Approach that includes Organization Design Axioms, Organization Design Principles, Adoption Guidelines, and Coaching Guidelines to develop capabilities within an organization to execute its strategy. He emphasizes that the focus should be on whether the set goals are achieved, and not so much on whether all the rules of a particular framework are followed. He talks about the challenges of adapting LeSS to specific requirements and how a systemic approach can help make the organization successful.

In this talk you can learn more about what you can do with CAO as a LeSS coach and some differences between LeSS and CAO.
