7 Culture Hacks for Enterprise Agility: Being “Agile” with Agile Transformations
Medium
May 10, 2019
Enterprise Agility and Product Management require a mindset shift from managing the activities that lead to outcomes in a linear and tunnel visioned manner to managing the outcomes themselves: getting them out of the door quickly and iterating on them frequently. The idea is to not only enjoy fast feedback loops, good will and revenue streams, but also be competitive and relevant in the marketplace. If you are taking months and years to build your business value, remember, there may be competitors out there who are adept at doing it way faster. Remember, technology is not only enabling your traditional competitors but also new and unconventional market entrants who have mastered the art of designing customer focused value propositions and product management. This is not possible through mere adoption. We can’t be adept at doing this just by saying: “Starting tomorrow, we will be agile…and while we are at that, let’s also scale agile”. It requires deliberate shift of what we incentivize, reward and celebrate: Is it quantity of work in silos and complacency or smart cross functional work focused on consumerization of outcomes? Is it hours of labor or creative thinking, problem solving and innovation? Is it individual deadlines being met or value being delivered by the team(s)? Is it our people being awesome or just hard working?

Thank you, Paddy! By integration debt, I mean the technical debt associated with integration that we accumulate as a result of pushing away the effort of integrating your products developed in silos. I don’t know if anyone has classified it that way officially or not. However, you could see it as

All of this was centered around modernizing an ecosystem of products for insurance claims management. The model could be applied to new product development efforts if there are multiple products that talk to each other to process a customer outcome. I see this working for API enablement efforts wher
