BOOK



Build Agile Cultures That Unleash Passion, Innovation, and

Performance



What do you want? Delighted customers. How do you get them? By

rapidly delivering innovative, exciting products and services

your customers will love to use. How do you do this? By uniting

talented people around shared ideas and purpose, trusting them

helping them take ownership, and getting out of their way. It

sounds easy-but you know it isn't. To make it happen, you must

create an agile culture: one that's open to change and can

respond quickly to whatever your customers need and desire. The

Agile Culture gives you proven models, pragmatic tools, and

handy worksheets for doing just that. Building on their

experience helping hundreds of companies, three world-class

experts help you align and unleash the talents of everyone in

your organization. Step by step, you'll learn how to move toward

a culture of trust, in which everyone knows, owns, and improves

the results. You'll learn practical ways to refocus on

differentiators and value, resurrect energy and innovation, deal

more honestly with ambiguity and risk, and overcome resistance

no matter where it comes from. This text will help you go beyond

buzzwords to transform the way you deliver software-so you can

delight customers, colleagues, and executives

individuals, teams, and organizations can do amazing things
