Join us for our next Consultants’ Network meeting on Monday, May 16th at 7:00PM, featuring AgileN2N with presenters Shashi Singh and Alan Berow. As always, our meetings are free and open to anyone who is interested, not just consultants or IEEE members.

“Leadership That Drives Agile Thinking”

Agile returns us to the old value of focusing on customers’ needs in an environment where people are
not simply human resources. Companies are seeing the advantages in time-to-market, value, and quality of
becoming Agile. As more and more companies begin their unique Agile journeys, some falter or fail.
Poor outcomes can usually be traced to management failures, especially the failure to be personally
committed to the journey.

This presentation will provide insights into management’s role in an Agile transformation and what you,
as consultants outside of the transformation, can do to help your clients succeed. Before diving into the
core of the presentation, we will provide an essential review of what Agile is and is not.

If we have time, we would like to include an Agile game to demonstrate a learning technique that helps
people understand the ineffective practices they might use. Please bring a piece of paper and pen/pencil
to the event.
