Creating Elevated Organizations with Org Topologies

Many organizations have already adopted “agile ways of working " and are wondering what’s next. In most cases, these adoptions have brought only partial success, as they were mainly aimed at the team level in most companies.

  • What limits organizations from gaining the promised benefits?
  • What is there else to try?
  • What can be the target state to aim for?

This talk will briefly introduce the concept of Org Topologies, focusing on mapping current organizational design that provides radical transparency of the status quo.

For the Org Topologies assessment, we will consider popular “scaling methods” such as SAFe and Spotify. That would set the stage for understanding the “First Wave of Agile” – a concept Org Topologies introduced to separate two kinds of agile adoptions. 

Then, we will discuss the concept of “Elevated Organizations.” 

  • What separates traditional ones from the elevated ones? 
  • What are the paradigm shifts that need to be bridged?
  • Which benefits does it bring?

We will consider practices borrowed from LeSS and FaST methods to demonstrate the difference between traditional and elevated organizations.

Join Alexey Krivitsky and Roland Flemm to explore these complex questions and get insights on Strategic Agility for your organization.
