Creating Sustainable Change with Invitational Agile Coaching 

Link visible for attendees

When an Agile coach leaves an organization, the changes developed during their tenure should not roll backward. Compliance is somewhat easy to install and takes hold rather quickly. The challenge with that approach is that when the forcing mechanism (Agile coach) is removed, much of the compliance rolls back to the original position.
Sustainable change requires a different strategy. This talk introduces the concept of utilizing an Invitational Approach to Enterprise Agile Coaching which can be a crucial catalyst for integrating sustainable change by putting the client in the seat of responsibility.

Learning Outcomes:

  • Describe the purpose and effectiveness of using an invitational approach to agile coaching
  • Describe the coaching mindset of invitational coaching
  • Describe three different levels of engagement for agile coaching
  • Describe how to partner with the client for sustainable results
  • Describe how to relinquish control and responsibility for making change happen to the client
