The Future of Work Scotland team are delighted to be hosting creator of the Personal Agility System (PAS), Peter Stevens.
Everything must be better, sooner, faster, and happier. But, everywhere you hear the same refrain: “It’s hard to change.” “Our agile transformation isn’t working.” “It’s hard to attract and retain talented staff.”
With the mass layoffs at Twitter and the "agile" layoffs at Capital One, the warnings are there for anyone to see. Could it be that companies are hobbled by excessive bureaucracy? Could it be that the common approaches to “agile transformation” do not deliver results? Could these issues be the root causes to our companies’ challenges? In this talk, we’ll explore why the answer to these questions is yes and quantify the cost and potential.
We’ll also look at the signs and implications of too many meetings, too many layers of management, too much multitasking and too many dependencies. We’ll look at how Personal Agility enables a change process to improve a company’s ability to achieve long-term goals, respond to new information, and eliminate friction and waste to move forward confidently.
