Creating Agile Organizations - A Brief Introduction

CAO-Intro

Design for Strategic Agility

Stuck with a framework that doesn’t fit your organization? Develop a tailored operating model that evolves with your organization.

Overwhelmed by too many framework options? Simplify the transformation journey with a context-specific, capability-driven approach.

No visible improvements from your transformation investment? Design your organization to align and support your strategic goals.

Coaches providing ‘answers’ without understanding your organization’s dynamics? Study context and strategic needs to successfully apply guidelines, axioms, and principles.

Teams feeling disempowered? Drive meaningful improvements and empower your teams.

Tailor Your Approach for Maximum Impact!

You might be wondering: How can I evolve from my current scaling framework?

While your framework suggests tailoring to your context, it often doesn’t provide the specifics on how to do that. That’s where our approach comes in.

Why Use The CAO Approach?

  • Versatile Application: Whether you’re using Scrum, SAFe, LeSS, or any other framework, our guidelines help you evolve and improve your organization.
  • Tailored Solutions: Specifically designed to address your capability gaps, providing you with actionable steps. Use our Designing Agile Organizations guidelines to confidently transition and enhance your agile setup, ensuring it perfectly fits your unique context and strategic goals.
