Energize your Strategy through Agility and Innovation
Organizations transforming to agile processes are commonly first interested in delivering business value in shorter intervals more frequently and with better stakeholder involvement. These benefits are usually achieved by adopting agile practices over traditional procedures. We will showcase how agility can help organizations using agile techniques to create an environment of project teams which act as entrepreneurs. These empowered teams will introduce technology and ideas to re-invent, improve and streamline existing business processes. We will discuss in depth how organizations can use business cases to test innovative ideas.
After an introduction to the topic and the characteristic of innovation (30 Minutes) we will walk through a scenario of managing a project portfolio (case study). First (10 Minutes), the scenario will establish a common understanding of the vision and strategy (in this case a focus on innovation). Then, in a group, participants will receive project metrics and status from the current projects as well as business cases for future potential projects. This information is shared by simulating an iterative rhythm. The project portfolio will be aligned with the strategy of the organization.The take-aways of the exercises will be summarized (10 minutes) and the session de-briefed (10 Minutes).
