Join us with the leader of Bain & Company’s Global
Innovation Practice and renowned business researcher Darrell Rigby
to learn how to do agile right and lead transformation without
chaos.
For decades business leaders have been painfully aware of a huge
chasm: They aspire to create nimble, flexible enterprises. But
their day-to-day reality is silos, sluggish processes, and stalled
innovation. Today, agile is hailed as the essential bridge across
this chasm, with the potential to transform a company and catapult
it to the head of the pack. According to Rigby, agile teams can
indeed be powerful, making people's jobs more rewarding and
turbocharging innovation, but such results are possible only if the
method is fully understood and implemented the right way.
In a thought-provoking conversation moderated by IVY CEO and YPO
Metro NY Chapter Chair Beri Meric, the myths and misconceptions
that have accompanied agile's rise to prominence will be dispelled
as Rigby lays out a road map for what really matters when leading
the transition to a truly agile enterprise. The key focus, as Rigby
argues, is balance. Every organization must optimize and tightly
control some of its operations, and at the same time innovate.
Agile, done well, enables vigorous innovation without sacrificing
the efficiency and reliability essential to traditional
operations.
