organization
requires
agile people
(ADKAR
MODEL)
Awareness- your people must be aware of the strategic
goal or objective or direction of the organization or
project
Desire- they must be interested in participating and
providing support(character)
Knowledge- they must know how (competency)
Ability –they must possess the desired skills and
behaviors (capacity)
Reinforcement- they must be able to sustain the change
(mindset)

7. PROCESS • A process is a series of actions, steps or
events that need to happen or occur in
order to achieve a particular goal. your
people will not be effective without
processes in place to support their
decisions.

8. MEASURING
PROCESS
(LEAN SIX
SIGMA)
Be Be flexible and responsive
Communicate Communicate early and train members
Remove Remove variation and bottlenecks
Identify Identify the problem and focus on it
Work Work for the customer (be customer-centric)
Lean Lean Six Sigma is a quality management tool, and the aim is to reduce waste.
These are the five lean leadership principles

9. TECHNOLOGY
While technology has helped organization to leverage, it’s a leveler based on all its
abilities and possibilities, technology alone does not solve problems. It can not make
existing problems go away without the people and processes around to support it.
Special consideration must always be given to the ease of implementation and the
cost of implementation.

10. BEFORE YOU DEPLOY THE
TECHNOLOGY
Put stakeholders’ values at the center of your
decision
Make it simplify the process
It must be designed for flexibility and speed
Ensure you choose the right partner

11. CONCLUSION
‘Agility is the ability to adapt and respond
to change. Agile organizations view change
as an opportunity not a threat”. Jim
Highsmith
Charles Darwin also stated that “it is not
the strongest of the species that survive,
nor the most intelligent but the one most
responsive to change”.
