CPO/CHRO
Successful Agile transformations require a re-imagining of roles, career paths and incentive structures, this is where the Chief People Officer or Chief Human Resources Officer plays a key role. What is the career path for Scrum Masters and internal coaches? How can we change role definitions to better fit the Agile mindset? Do current incentive structures promote individual success over the success of the organization as a whole? Do current cultural norms support aspirational values needed to sustain the transformation? Without these structural changes, any process improvements will be undermined as habitual ways of working and relating re-establish themselves within the legacy culture.
