Everyone dies in the end


Everyone transforms



Viruses are spread in ideal host environments

Diana Hennessy - DX @excapeartist

Viruses can’t be too disruptive early on


- Ramp up the change over time

- Challenge the thinking; change the mindset

- Keep the long term transformation goal in mind


Viruses need to spread far and wide


- Agile mindsets help all areas of business

- Do you have the right people long term?

- Demonstrate the success often


Viruses can mutate


- Agile practices take discipline

- Checks and balances for the long term

- Watch for relabelling of the old ways


There are always hard to reach countries


- Seek out & engage hard to change areas early

- Work out what are real vs perceived constraints

- Chip away at the edges


There is always someone working on a cure



- Convert your detractors to champions

- Recognise and deal with undermining

- Create a culture that won’t let itself regress


GOAL:

GOAL:to create an environment that

encourages adaptation
