Do Cultural Differences Really Block Agile Adoption?

Agile adoption is often explained away by cultural differences between countries. But is culture really the problem? In this episode of Le Podcast on Emerging Leadership, I am joined by Jérôme Bourgeon, agile coach at Zenika, based in Singapore, to explore the influence of culture on agile adoption. Together, we challenge the idea that national culture is the main obstacle and discuss what matters more in practice: why building trust can take different amounts of time why company culture matters more than country culture how beliefs shape behaviors and adoption far more than frameworks how Appreciative Inquiry can help teams move forward how to acknowledge and accept differences that truly matter to people This episode is for anyone working with agile teams across cultures, or struggling with adoption and looking for deeper explanations than “it’s cultural”. https://blog-alexis.monville.com/en/2019/06/30/do-cultural-differences-influence-the-adoption-of-agile/
