Here is the synopsis of Allen's Talk:

Imagine your company starts a transformation and hits a ceiling, unsure why. This common challenge often stems from not aligning organizational culture with Agile values.

In my session, I’ll share two stories and insights on why understanding culture is crucial before implementing processes and techniques. You'll learn the difference between the inside-out and outside-in approaches, how to identify your current and desired culture and the importance of considering the whole system in organizational transformation.

I’ll discuss my experiences with a scale-up FinTech company and a large French digital automation and energy management company, highlighting:

- Understanding organizational culture and the inside-out approach.
- Identifying current and desired organizational culture.
- Considering the whole system for successful transformation.

Attendees will explore these concepts, share challenges, and discuss questions like:

- What were we missing?
- What happened?
- How might we do differently next time?

Episode Highlights:

- Understanding Culture: Learn about the significance of aligning organizational culture with Agile values and the inside-out approach.

- Identifying Culture: Gain insights on how to identify your current organizational culture and set desired cultural goals.

- Holistic Transformation: Discover why considering the entire system is essential for successful organizational transformation and leadership.
