Agile Transformation Services
Upgrading humans is not like upgrading computers
There is a common misconception that agile transformation is quick and can be rolled out in an organization like the push of a button. The reality is that people naturally resist change and a successful agile transformation requires starting with the people side of things. Responsive Advisors provides agile transformation services that help make this incredibly difficult change management process easier with our people-first approach.
It Starts with AWARENESS
Building organizational awareness about why a change to use Scrum in product development is absolutely necessary to getting team buy-in. The team is more likely to be on board with agile transformation if they clearly understand the purpose, see how it can drive better company outcomes, and ultimately improve their lives at work.
we can help build awareness by
Auditing existing teams and stakeholder interactions
Revisit product, value stream definition and how teams align toward its delivery

DESIRE
With awareness of why a change must be made, individuals still need the desire for that change to happen. We help in many ways to increase the desire for change by showing possibilities for a better future: We ask questions to probe for pain, we answer questions to dispel misconceptions.
