Adopting an Agile Mindset

Many organizations nowadays are wanting to enhance their organizational agility in order to improve operational efficiency, support their desire for growth, or as a response to a competitive threat – whether perceived or real.

Agile Enterprise Transformation is adopting an Agile Mindset throughout the entire organization. It is a fundamental shift in thinking and behaving that, when existing at scale, enables an organization to truly accomplish anything it sets its focus on.

Let’s Talk Agile Enterprise Transformation

What does it mean to BE an agile enterprise?

Agile enterprises are organizations that are highly proficient at setting and accomplishing goals. They continuously find better ways to simplify delivering value to their customers. They are made up of highly motivated individuals that are able to maintain a constant pace indefinitely. Agile enterprises have learned how to holistically adopt the Agile Mindset and demonstrate it by following these principles:

Adopting an Agile Mindset - Prioritize delivery of customer value

Who We Are

We challenge individuals to be true leaders – to speak up, to drive accountability through transparency and to put in the work to create an environment where their teams can thrive.

We work with clients to build the capability and the framework for a successful agile enterprise transformation. You can outsource change leadership and likely generate short-term wins, but you cannot sustain this success – you need to build the capability within.

We succeed when you say – “We got this!”. When you no longer need us, everyone wins.

Bold

For agile enterprise transformation programs to be truly successful, we believe that their leaders and teams must create a safe, open and transparent environment. Only then will each individual be able to contribute to the greater good and hold each other accountable.

Long-term success requires being able to let go of what has worked, what has made the organization what it is today.

Being bold is being open and willing to making yourself redundant – just like we at Arrochar strive for – creating space for you to develop other opportunities, but also not restricting the organization to remain beholden to current organizational structures, systems and processes that influence behaviours and culture.

People-Centred

We help you create the space for people to learn and develop for the future. We pull people out of their current “normal” and help them get to a new, safe space where we can create a new way of working – together – until a critical mass is achieved and the people change can begin to sustain itself.

Together, we shape the work that is required to create an open and transparent environment that is collaborative and accountable – that stands up to own outcomes and achieve measurable results.

Objective

In our endeavour to be objective, we ensure we bring experience, tools and frameworks from across multiple disciplines – Agile, Lean, Organizational Action Research, Design Thinking, Leadership, Coaching, and Team Effectiveness. Leading successful agile enterprise transformations is as much about the process and the journey as it is about the outcomes.

The best evidence of objectivity is that our success actually means we’ve worked ourselves out of a job. Can your current transformation consultant say the same?
