This book illustrates the agile transformation journey of a consulting
organization. It consists of nine main chapters, each focusing on
specific aspects of transformation. These include establishing value in
business, holistic recruitment and retention, innovating performance
appraisals, rethinking organizational structure, redesigning leadership
roles, streamlining measurement and reward systems, and improving career
paths. Some specific processes, such as corporate decision making, SMILE
(budget for business improvement at employee discretion), project
selection, holiday leave, and career coaching are also described. All of
the transformations described build up on Management 3.0, a collection
of management principles and practices that fit perfectly in an agile
world.
The book is of practical relevance for managers and agile coaches who
want to learn how to approach agile transformation.
