    Introducing Agile Stretching<\/h2><\/div>
    <\/span><\/div>
    Agile Stretching is a tool to help organizations understand agility and their ability to renew themselves.<\/p>\n

    The purpose of this tool is not to audit\/evaluate the maturity and\/or level of agility of an organization. We believe that Agility is a journey (and not a goal) and every organization has its own way of being Agile. Thus, in our opinion, agility cannot be assessed but instead, organizations can be supported for growth.<\/p>\n

    Therefore, this tool specifically aims to help managers who are new to Agile to understand about what they need to expect in an agile transformation and which areas they may focus first.<\/div><\/div>[vc_empty_space][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner css=”.vc_custom_1579789018546{border-top-width: 2px !important;border-right-width: 2px !important;border-bottom-width: 2px !important;border-left-width: 2px !important;padding-bottom: 20px !important;background-color: rgba(96,178,37,0.1) !important;*background-color: rgb(96,178,37) !important;border-left-color: #60b225 !important;border-left-style: dotted !important;border-right-color: #60b225 !important;border-right-style: dotted !important;border-top-color: #60b225 !important;border-top-style: dotted !important;border-bottom-color: #60b225 !important;border-bottom-style: dotted !important;border-radius: 3px !important;}”]

    <\/div>
    Briefly introduce the tool and its purpose.<\/p>\n
      \n
    • Agile is people oriented, it has collaborative and cultivation culture.<\/li>\n
    • Agility is flexibility and the ability of an organization to rapidly adapt and steer itself in a new direction. Thus, you cannot assess it!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

            \n
          • Pick 3 items to work on and improve the Agility in that area.<\/li>\n

              They may come up with an idea to establish a transformation\/change agent team to work on these items\u2026.<\/p>\n

              After the session, at least it is recommended to run several additional sessions to create a roadmap like activities that will support the audience to reach and own their near term target (as an option, you may extend the discovery session into 4 hours and continue with road mapping activity in the discovery session).<\/p>\n

              Here, at least ask your audience to define how to proceed next.<\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
