Many traditional organizations have teams specialized and organized based on technology and functional skills. Specializing in technology thus was deemed to deliver value faster and resulted in a lot of local optimization focused on technology or each functional team’s output. However, mastering the structure is still perceived as difficult and slow.
When transforming for agility at scale, it is important to understand how the organization is set up to deliver value for its customers. A strategy needs to be built that improves collaboration with real users and removes hand-offs. The focus needs to be on value delivery, reduction of waste and continuous improvement.
So as part of the key transformation strategy, it is absolutely important to understand what triggers the value flow, the steps that are involved in the creation of value, and how the organization benefits from the value generation.
