Agilist in Wonderland, A Fragile Transformation Story

Agile Disrupted

Once upon a time, there was a girl named Alice. She discovered a world that disrupted her entire perception of reality. It was called Wonderland.

If we look at Alice as this beacon of hope and the personification of curiosity & courage, do organizations exist in the Agile world that we live in or are they hidden gateways to Wonderland?

• What happens when an organization doesn't fundamentally know why they are transforming?
• What happens when an organization has a reorg and puts their people into new roles without understanding the responsibilities required of those roles?
• What happens when the infrastructure doesn't support the scaling framework stood up by leadership?
• Will an Agile Transformation alone fix the problems an organization has been experiencing in their operating model for years?
• Will an Agile Transformation alone fix the problems an organization has been experiencing in their business model and market domain?
• When an Agile team follows the process in the ecosystem designed for them to deliver a product that no one uses, is that a true measure of success?
• Are executives willing to make the hard decisions and be open to the changes required of an Agile Transformation?
• Is an Agile Transformation an organization's last attempt to save the business and the jobs of their people?
• What happens when executives carry their own assumptions & bias around a strategy for the future by avoiding the actual challenges that exist in the ecosystem?
• Does an organization ever stop transforming in a market that is constantly changing?
• Are we allowing the people of an organization the security to make decisions as well as mistakes in order to make progress?
• When we show patience and grace for children to mature into adults, are we providing that same courtesy to the people of an organization maturing in their own principles & values during an Agile Transformation?
• When consultants are hired to support the organization's Agile Transformation, are we really collaborating for an abundant future or are we hiring a service to make the hard decisions for us?
• Are we really measuring changed behaviors of a culture that's been fundamentally disrupted?
• Is the future we envision abundant and full of hope or is the fear of failure keeping us from it?
