Robert Mahler Sez Grassroots Transformations Without C-Level Buy-In Don't Work

Robert Mahler of Tata Consulting Services (TCS) shares with Agile Amped his thoughts on and experience with Agile transformations and SAFe. In his experience Robert has learned that grassroots transformations without executive buy in don't work. If the C level is not interested, your transformation is going to fail. TCS has integrated SAFe into their approach to effecting organizational change and transformations, using SAFe to help them transform to the SAFe model. Robert also commiserates with those working to effect change in highly regulated industries and with everyone who has problems getting financial and business buy-in from clients. SolutionsIQ's Howard Johnson hosts at SAFe Summit 2016 in Denver, Colorado.
