Agile Consulting

tarent has learned about agile organizational practices from its own experience. We are happy to share this experience with others.

Organizational development is an evolutionary rather than a revolutionary process. That’s why, even though we are experts in the methodologies, models, and frameworks involved, we don’t think in terms of “blueprints” and “best practice.” In other words, we don’t look for the solution that fits the organization but instead work out the best solution for the organization’s needs. We are experts in agile organizations. Whenever we engage in collaborative change, we follow agile principles – based on a transparent, iterative, courageous, self-reflective, error-tolerant, focused, and persistent approach. We want the improvements achieved to be long-lasting, something that can only be guaranteed if they continue without our involvement.

Supporting you throughout the process or just part of the way

Development

You’ve decided to make your business fit for the future. Agile organizational principles seem to offer a promising approach to achieving this aim. We can help you understand exactly what’s involved and identify the right starting point.

Operationalization

By working with you, we can bring the architecture of your agile operating system to life. We can draw up useful behaviors and working methods and help anchor them in your organization. This will result in the formation of an enthusiastic team that will have the skills needed to pursue the process of change.

Consolidation

At this stage, you’ll have made good progress in your transformation, with many teams working in an agile way. Needless to say, however, not everything will be running smoothly, and you might be concerned that you’ve made a few mistakes along the way. We can help identify any aspects that need tightening up so as to bring the system back into line.

Scaling

An agile organization has taken shape. More and more teams are adopting this collective approach. Whether within your IT team or even beyond, we can help you to identify the scaling procedure you need.

Here’s how the start of the process might look…

Where is our organization headed?

As a team, we understand what’s involved in building and leading an agile organization. We are endeavoring to achieve alignment in our adoption of agile principles. We are developing an organizational vision that will form the basis for the change process.

Who can help us?

We create a team that can help to orient and support the change process. We develop a shared understanding of the change process involved and plan out some initial experiments.

Getting going…

We operationalize the transition procedure. We start, stop, repeat, and refine experiments. We investigate the success of the measures taken and are not afraid to make corrections. We communicate intensively and bring the organization with us.
