Good idea. The plan was as follows: train all teams, train Agile coaches and bring the mindset into the organization. After just two training sessions, the first plan took off. The teams picked up Agile working much faster and easier than previously estimated.    <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The focus shifted to bringing synergy between teams. How do you get 5-6 teams to work toward the same goal? The answer was the introduction of Radical Focus. This is a system for using a cascade of goals to link all efforts to the organizational goal.   <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>And then&#8230;<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Teams acted more purposefully and found each other working together. A fruitful way of working emerged that was Agile to the core. With Radical Focus on goals, teams quickly came up with better project plans compared to how things were before. A fine result!     <\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;What have you done to us? We only talk about focus at parties anymore!&#8221; <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Thanks! Valuable and useful. Gradually the feeling is growing in me that the need in the organization is changing.&#8221;<\/span><\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h4>Support<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The next issue was to better support and excel the teams. The <strong>first step<\/strong> was to work with management on managing for results rather than managing for execution according to plan. It was time for a new kind of alignment that focused on a culture of inquiry and learning.  <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <strong>second step<\/strong> in support was to redesign the accounting systems Facilitating the learning organization. The new dashboards made tracking budgets and results very clear. The teams intervened quickly &#8211; where necessary &#8211; and were agile in the learning moments.     <\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;The speed with which <a href=\"https:\/\/milieudefensie.nl\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Environmental Defense<\/a> picked up the Agile mindset is unparalleled.
