Transformation principles – the implications for change agents by Nick Kemp

I recently went along to a Round Table event for Transformation Executives hosted by Annapurna Change. There were about 20 of us discussing the inevitability or otherwise of Transformation Programmes losing momentum. 

As the conversation around the table developed, it became apparent that we had very different views of what we meant by ‘Transformational Change’. According to the wiki dictionary a Transformation is ‘a marked change in appearance or character, especially one for the better’. Well, fine, but surely this could describe any large change programme. 

How the Heck do we Deliver Value Sooner? by Jardena London

One of the big Agile mantras is “Deliver Value Sooner”.  They get all excited when I tell them about the client whose Agile discipline was, well, not disciplined at all.  But they doubled their financial benefit purely by delivering value sooner. It’s like a before and after diet picture.  We love looking at it, but are the results typical? I assert that they can be, but you need to break down the need for big-bang results.
