Agile Transformation

Challenge

  • ICG supported the transformation of the company to an Agile organization through a design phase to become a purpose driven organization. ICG provided facilitation of Design Sprint workshops in a role of an Agile coach and helped to re-define Roche’s operating model. One of the key outcomes is an Organizational Model Playbook to support the implementation of the Agile organization. During workshops ICG also supported visual facilitation to visualize outcomes.

Solution

  • Design the new Operation model focused on Structure, Processes and People with internal employees – volunteers. Facilitate a series of design workshops and create high performing sprint teams by showing how agile framework works and conveying the experience of agility during the workshops and unlocking employee’s creativity.

Impact

  • During a series of Design workshops a new Agile organization structure was created.  New processes, guiding principles were defined. New roles were established to create highly engaged, empowered and innovative teams. Sprint outcome and new Operation Model was documented in a graphic and visual way and published in a Playbook.
