Die CSS hat 2024 einen weiteren grossen Schritt auf ihrer Reise zur Business Agilität unternommen: Mit der Einführung von SAFe, sechs Agile Release Trains, einem agilen Portfolio sowie der Anpassung von Organisation, Budget und Strategie. Obwohl Scrum bereits seit 2014 in der Softwareentwicklung verankert ist, bedeutete dieser Wandel einen tiefgreifenden organisatorischen und kulturellen Schritt. In dieser Session berichtet ein Mitglied des Transformationsteams, was in den letzten zwei Jahren im agilen Umfeld der CSS mit rund 500 Mitarbeitenden geschehen ist. Themen wie agile Führung, Zusammenspiel zwischen Team, ART und Portfolio, Kommunikation, Kulturwandel und Mindset-Change stehen dabei im Mittelpunkt. Lass dich auf die Reise mitnehmen — welche Herausforderungen haben wir gemeistert, wo sind wir gescheitert und welche Themen uns weiterhin beschäftigen. Tauche mit Martin Ineichen in diese spannende Transformation ein. Ich freue mich auf viele Interessierte, einen offenen Austausch, viele Fragen und eine lebendige Diskussionen. ✱✱✱ Martin Ineichen, ist seit 12 Jahren im agilen Umfeld bei der CSS unterwegs. War mit Herzblut SM, konnte dies auch nie ganz ablegen. Vertritt agile Konzepte mit viel Enthusiasmus und gibt sein Wissen und seine Ansichten auch gerne weiter. Immer mit dem Ziel, ein besseres Arbeiten zu ermöglichen. Martin ist Mitorganisator des Agile Breakfast Luzern. In seiner Freizeit ist er ein Familienmensch mit einem grünen Daumen.

Early-bird coffee and conversation at [Kittie's Worthington](https://kittiescakes.com/)!

Private Group. Closed to the Public Knowing ourselves and understanding our abilities is the first step toward wielding our gifts with control and accuracy. In subsequent classes we will verify and hone our talents with activities and discussion. These are hands-on workshops and participation is expected. The goal of our series will be to develop expertise in areas of particular interest such as mediumship, channeling, divination, healing and, etc.. Our ultimate directions will be determined by class members as we evolve. I look forward to sharing and discovering with you. - Cynthia
