Episode 9: Jon Smart on Why Agile is No Longer the Answer

Recorded at the annual 2019 SEACON Conference in London, today Mik’s plus one is Jon Smart, Partner, Business Agility at Deloitte.

In this episode of Mik + One, Mik and Jon discuss:

• The value and importance of focusing on “Better Value, Sooner, Safer, Happier” and why Agile is no longer the answer
• The importance of senior leaders implementing a mindset shift and focusing on outcomes instead of output
• Why leaders should be looking at the end-to-end flow, how it impacts business results and the need to identify what they are optimizing for and what they want to optimize for
• Employee incentivization and implementing recognition and rewards for motivating teams – not individuals – to reduce silos across the value stream
• The introduction of Flow Metrics on the product value stream
