How agile principles saved a hospital - the inside story

The hospital is not making money, it does not have a valid permit and it pays their staff too little... at this point, the roof falls in. Literally! Would you give up? Most would. But we did not. Instead, we used the principles of agile, lean and kanban to make the hospital amazing.

In this keynote, I will tell you how we applied these principles in practice and about the transformations we created. You will also meet 3 women who helped us turn the hospital around and whose lives were transformed in the process.

Intent-Based Leadership

Our old ideas of good leadership is where the leader knows all, tells all and is always in control. In fact, it’s difficult for us to change because those old habits are so hardwired in our brains! Intent-Based Leadership™ offers a way for us to rewire: to give control, trust and learn to be okay with not having all the answers. It's a way of leading where the leader sets the environment for others to excel and act to the maximum extent of their creativity and intellect; where team members come to the leader describing what they see, what they think, and what they intend to do. The result: the culture of the organization shifts from one of permission and waiting, to intent and action, and people feel more valued and come to better solutions.

Jenni will share the principles of Intent-Based Leadership – what it takes to give control and achieve excellence in your organization. This way of leading is the key to successful Agile implementations in companies of all sizes.

Descaling Agile

After the agile community solved how to do programming, testing, release and product management, the hot topic for our industry today seems to be scaling. In an ironic twist for a movement started with ‘people over process’, big consultancies today sell scaling models based on everything from tribes to witchcraft, offering to make agile disciplined and safe.
