Business Agility Lab and Sensemaking Opens: Share your Agile experience in the most extensive retrospective on Agile adoptions. Enter a narrative in our kiosk and gain the chance of winning a netbook PC in our drawing on Thursday.
As the Agile ecosystem expands to include engineering and business management, adapting the core Agile principles to work in the entire company is a huge opportunity to grow higher customer value and profits. But doing so is not without challenges. To address this, Agile Alliance will have a special area in the Agile Alliance Lounge called the Business Agility Lab.
In the Lab, you will be able to participate in several working sessions with business leaders who have a depth of experience in building Agile organizations and companies. They will offer firsthand knowledge about the challenges and success stories in broad adoptions.
This year's business leaders will be Ray Arell (Business Development Leader for Agile Alliance, former Sr. Director at Intel), Heidi Musser (Principal Consultant at LeadingAgile, former VP & CIO at USAA), Hendrik Esser (Manager of Special Projects at Ericsson), and other thought leaders in the business community. Attendees will be able to sign up for one-to-one mentoring at the Lab.
We also encourage you to participate in one of the widest retrospectives on Agile adoptions, the Narrative Project. You can add your voice by submitting a story or help design experiments to amplify Agile principles inside your company — all in the Lab.
Lastly, if you have been a part of the Agile Coaching Network (ACN) live event or podcast, you can join us for several live group sessions to ask questions or offer advice based on your own experiences with Agile adoption. We will also be running a daily afternoon Lean Coffee(TM) ACN live event. This session is open to people who have not joined the ACN before--everybody is welcome!
The following people will also be available in the Business Agility Lab:
- Shawna Cullinan, Enterprise Agile Coach with Paciolan
- Bonnie Aumann, Agile Coach previously with Spotify
- Deepti Jain, Agile Transformation Strategist at AgileVirgin
- Rhea Stadick, Enterprise Agile Transformation Expert at Nike
