In our last capsule we have flew over a Business Agility practical case.

Now, in this capsule, we will continue with this first step, and we will review an approach of the current state assessment and a prioritization of the initiatives.

The general assessment of the current state

Then we can set the current state of our business, in order to know if we are far to reach our objective, at this step we analyses the team, environment and organizational mindset in order to know the communication, the leadership styles, the structures, the process, the power centers so we can know the opportunity areas, the suggested actions, to improve our environment and the way of thinking and doing.

We systematize de results, in order to suggest actions, remember that an agile assessment is focused on improvements and the co-creation of actionable immediate decisions, not for living at the past and validate this with all the company to find who agrees, and who doesn’t.

After this current state assessment, we have a big picture o the organization which serve us to ubicate where the impact is, regarding with the initiatives that we are going to co-assess with the Business Owners and all stakeholders related.

The next activity is the Aassessment & Prioritization of initiatives:

Now we are going to help the business to define the initiatives impact regarding their type. It’s about savings, investments and profits, so, based on that, we will get a list of prioritized initiatives we set the minimum required things to create an agile team, we talk with the main stakeholders and possible team sponsors to make a deep awareness about the minimum required needs to make a successful agile team, so after this setting, we prepare an inception workshop by each initiative or possible teams with the people names regarded with the product/service.

That’s all for now, in the next capsule we will go to the second step reviewing creating and launching initiatives.
