Agile transformation - Joel Nichols, Merck

At the end of the day we are all in the business of getting results. The challenge of the leader is to help your team get those results in the most efficient way possible. Our conversation with Joel Nichols unpacked for us Agile and the way in which it is helping Merck obtain those results more effectively than ever before. As a process that has allowed Merck to better understand the needs of the customer and adjust in order to better hit their objectives, Agile is an incredible system that can help your team quickly “pivot” and readjust so you don’t waste time reaching an objective that is no longer relevant or creating a product the client no longers wants. How is Merck doing things different as a result and what has been some of the practical ways in which they have implemented agile? How does Agile compare to waterfall? What are the challenges for implementation and making Agile a part of your teams process?
