approach for transformation kickoff
TRANSCRIPT
2
Know where you are heading before you start the journey
And ensure sure the road you select leads you to valuable and interesting
places
Build a Strategy focused on; Ø Business Initiatives Ø Innovation Ø Continuous Improvement Ø Rapid Delivery as the core principles of execution
3
Ø Having a 3 to 5 year strategy roadmap is critical (know where you are going)
Ø Modernization through multi-year “big-bang” programs is a recipe for failure (too big to fail)
Ø Modernization programs succeed when people see constant improvement (build trust through engagement)
Ø Delivering small pieces allows the organization to be flexible and react to change without disrupting the overall plan (todays decisions are only valid today)
