I would like to invite you to a session I am facilitating at the Agile 2007 Conference in Washington, DC in August entitled Enterprise Agile Transitional Leadership - Tuesday, August 14 @ 10:30AM following the keynote address.

I am honored to be accompanied by three of my client leaders who are guiding agile transitions in their own organizations. None of these leaders is a C-level executive driving agile adoption. Rather, they are all real-world middle managers with titles like Director of Software Engineering, Director of the Project Management Office and Director of Quality Operations. Yet each of them is playing a critical leadership role in their organization's agile adoption - much beyond their scope of management responsibility.

 

As a discovery session, we will discover the agile leadership characteristics and behaviors required to successfully guide an enterprise-wide agile transition through an interactive and experiential small group discussion built on the experiences of these real-world leaders. We will be using a powerful organizational change technique based on small group critical conversations. As leaders yourselves, your input and discovery will directly contribute to the output of this session.

While it is too late to register for the conference as it is already sold out. If you are planning to attend I encourage you to wander join our session. If you are unable to attend, but would like to know more about this method, feel free to contact me. I will also be writing more about this technique and the results of our session.
