Challenge & Selection

Visualization or visual thinking tool, I use with my clients – C-level executives in almost in all of the  situation. Visualization helps me to understand AS IS and TO BE conditions of an organization after the  Agile transformation. As an Agile Transformation Coach, I interact C-level executives of organizations  who wish to explore the Agile transformation of their respective organization. Visualization helps all  stakeholders to reach a common understanding.

Application

To start with I simply ask few questions like what is the motive of proposed transformation on a white  board and encourage everyone to express it on it. This exercise starts with a lot of notion but continual  visual discussion leads to two to three agreed upon objective. Once very one agrees on common  objectives, a combination of process flow diagram with the rich usage of roles, the current state of  organization is drawn. This exercise again leads to a lot of different pictures but with continuous effort  an agreed upon picture emerges. Now it is the time of the third exercise. Let’s draw a TO BE picture.  It is  time for final visualization. I coach participants to devise a path to reach TO BE state from AS IS. Initially,  this visualization is pretty vague but with little effort, the team able to visualize the first part of Agile  transformation journey. As the team starts the journey of transformation, the subsequent parts of  visualization become clear.

Insight & Approach

Application of visualization makes my work simple – in terms of conveying the consistent message  across the organization.  As more audience becomes part of the Agile transformation, it becomes  simpler to incorporate feedback and corrective actions in the process.

Visualization helps to develop a shared insight and incorporation across the organization. It also  encourages engagement across the organization irrespective of position in the organizational hierarchy.
