The story of extending the principles of Agile to the organization as a whole as I discussed in my article Digital Transformation Requires Enterprisewide Agile Transformation earlier this year is so powerful, I decided to run two workshops on the subject.
I presented the first workshop at no-code vendor kintone’s inaugural Connect conference in San Francisco, then headed to Orlando for Rising Media’s Building Business Capability (BBC) conference, where I ran a longer version of the same workshop entitled Agile Digital Transformation.
