LeSS with Gene and James: Improving Quickly Requires Fixing Structure

Gene and James discuss the following: * Deep and narrow organizational design changes aligned with adaptablity can produce fruitful outcomes far faster than applying management pressure to squeeze improved performance out of the status quo system. * A deep and narrow LeSS adoption will rapidly produce improvement in adaptablity and value delivery, even when the discomfort resulting from increased transparency sometimes makes it feel otherwise. * The value of using a private Certified LeSS Practitioner or Certified LeSS for Executives course as a way to achieve management alignment at the begining of a LeSS adoption. * The ability of an external Certified LeSS Trainer to provide consultation which is less influenced by the existing power dynamics of a client organization when compared to inside council. * Balancing between external vs. internal agile training and coaching support, and the benefits of decentralized vs. centralized internal agile coaches within an organization.
