Why is embedding change so tough and what to do about it?
Manage episode 355871491 series 2917485
In this episode of The Neurocast™️, Truthsayers®️ CEO, Simon Stapleton, talks to Mark Matheson, Agile Ways of Working Coach, about the challenges that leaders face when embedding change within an organisation.
Mark Matheson has been working in change and transformation for 35 years. With certifications in SAFe and Scrum, and experience in Disciplined Agile Delivery (DAD), Mark understands the challenges that teams and enterprises face when looking to adopt Agile and then to embed it into the fabric of an organisation.
Mark Matheson has been in technology, leading global IT projects for many years, starting as a Trainee Programmer straight out of school (which was little more than getting the tea and coffee for the teams at first 😉), and eventually working his way to Software Engineer, Technical Lead, Project Manager, Scrum Master and Agile Coach. Despite the occasional foray into other sectors such as Telecoms, almost all of Mark's experience has been in Finance: 18 years Sell-Side (Investment Banking) and 17 years Buy-Side (Asset & Wealth Management).
Within the conversation, Mark talks about Agile Management:
- Agile is an iterative approach to project management
- Agile is about breaking large projects into smaller tasks that can be repeated, checked and refined
- Agile helps teams to be flexible and deliver value to their customers faster and fewer headaches
Mark also talks about a Taylorist approach. Named after Frederick W. Taylor, who in 1911 published 'The Principles of Scientific Management' and advocated developing a science for each element fo the work. He suggested an almost equal division of the work and the responsibility with cooperation between the managers and the workers.
