Agile has become one of those overused buzz words over the last few years. Many organisations have undergone agile/digital transformations to remain competitive in their markets. Much of this work has been carried out by digital transformation consultants who tend to ‘install’ agile management processes into the product/production related areas of organisations.
Very few of these agile transformations really take hold. This is because the only way an agile approach becomes embedded in the culture of the organisation is if it is fully aligned with the business strategy and espoused and modelled by the leadership of the organisation.
