The Challenge:

Started agile but stuck in neutral?

Implemented Scrum, Kanban & Co, but going nowhere? That's like driving with the parking brake on - no matter how much gas you give, you're not moving. Let's release those brakes together.

Teams & Culture

❕Agile practices without cultural change are like a sailboat without wind. Real transformation needs more than just processes.

Leadership & Structure

❕Semi-agile leadership is like a hybrid engine idling: Modern tech, but old controls holding it back.

Value & Innovation

❕Agile processes without innovation are like a hamster wheel: Lots of movement, but no real progress.

The first step to real agility

The leadership trap: Team agility, but command & control from above. Time for new structures.
The tooling trap: Jira boards instead of real collaboration. Let's put people back in the center.
The innovation standstill: Quick releases, but no real breakthroughs. How about breaking out of that comfort zone?
The Scrum theater: Daily standup, sprint planning, but old patterns stick. Real agility hits different.
The silo situation: Teams work agile, but collaboration's stuck. Let's tear down these walls.
The process rigidity: Textbook Scrum, but practice lags. Time to breathe life into agility.
The autonomy paradox: Preaching self-organization but no decision-making freedom. Break that cycle.
The retro routine: Same old topics, no real improvements. Time to shake things up!
The MVP dilemma: Minimal often becomes mediocre instead of valuable. Let's find that sweet spot.
The feedback loop: Retrospectives without impact. Let's make feedback powerful again.

Semi-agility is like an engine idling: lots of movement, but no progress. Many teams are stuck in this trap - they've introduced agile practices, but the real breakthrough remains elusive.

The key isn't more processes, but developing agility that truly fits you and creates real value.

Sustainable development: Teams find their flow. Quality and speed in perfect balance.

Innovation culture: Experiments welcome, failures become opportunities. Teams get space for fresh ideas.

Servant leadership: Leaders enable rather than control. Creating space for real agility.

Cross-team collaboration: Communities of Practice connect your teams. Systematically breaking down silos.

Continuous improvement: Turning retrospectives into real change. Problems aren't just spotted, they're solved.

Data-driven agility: KPIs show real business value. Teams get their direct impact.

Deep understanding: Living agile principles, not just following them. Culture grows organically.

Real self-organization: Teams make their own calls and own their stuff. You create the framework for success.

Value focus: MVPs that make sense and deliver real value. Feedback flows straight into development.

Flexible adaptation: Scrum practices that fit your context. If it ain't working, we change it - smart and bold.

Agility is like a river: It doesn't seek the most direct path, but the path of least resistance - often finding better routes than planned.

QuickSense® Checkup Agilität

Analyse + 2 Stunden
$1,860.00 plus VAT

Der „Hype“ um Agilität ist vorbei. Zeit für eine ehrliche Bestandsaufnahme: Wir erkunden mit euch, wo und wie agiles Denken und Handeln bei euch im Unternehmen gelebt wird. Dafür nutzen wir QuickSense® von The Cynefin Company, ein innovatives Tool zur Datenerhebung, das weitaus wertvollere Ergebnisse liefert als übliche Umfragen.

Ablauf
Beim QuickSense® teilen Mitarbeitende konkrete Erlebnisse in Form kurzer Narrative oder Bilder und bewerten diese anschließend selbst in strukturierter Form. Die Interpretation erfolgt also nicht durch eine KI, sondern durch die Beteiligten selbst. Das Ergebnis sind statistisch relevante Daten mit hoher Aussagekraft. Es werden Muster sichtbar, die erklärbar sind, weil sie auf konkreten Erlebnissen beruhen, die den Kontext deutlich machen. Am besten, ihr schaut euch eine Demo an. Dann versteht ihr, was an diesem Ansatz so anders und wertvoll ist.. Natürlich lassen wir euch mit den Ergebnissen nicht allein. Sie liefern eine Fülle pragmatischer Ansatzpunkte, die wir in einer ca. 2-stündigen Next-Steps-Session mit euch besprechen.

What you get:

  • Umfassender Blick auf den Status Quo (inklusiver Report)
  • Erkenntnis von Mustern 
  • Verständnis zugrundeliegender Motivationen und Widerstände
  • Konkrete Ansatzpunkte für nächste Schritte zu mehr Agilität
