The EFS Agility Check: A Key Step in your Agile Transformation
In today’s fast-changing and unpredictable world, which is characterized by volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity (VUCA), agility is crucial for working effectively. Many companies have already started their agile transformation in order to adapt to these conditions.
The EFS Agility Check is your individual, goal-oriented assessment on the way to a more agile company. With EFS Consulting’s lean, structured approach, you will quickly gain valuable insights into your current situation and identify the most important opportunities for the next steps of your agile transformation.
The EFS Agility Check
EFS Consulting views this check as an assessment of the current situation in a constantly changing and complex environment. It examines existing agile processes, techniques, and elements of the corporate culture. Additionally, it makes the cultural network visible, highlights supporting values & observable behaviors and encourages stages.
Understanding the initial situation is crucial for building a solid foundation. The agility check gives important insights into strengths and weaknesses that could be costly if ignored. It identifies valuable information for future actions.
An agility check assesses the current situation, creating a useful data foundation
- A “booster” before or during the agile transformation: It immediately provides valuable insights into strengths and weaknesses in agile implementation.
- Hidden potential should be uncovered: The agility check helps to recognize blind spots and identify areas where you can develop further.
- Plan sensible next steps: Based on the results of the agility check, sensible measures can be defined and prioritized to continuously improve agility.
How does an Agility Check work?
It starts with a joint kick-off workshop and an environment analysis. EFS Consulting then conducts personal interviews to understand the agile knowledge of key stakeholders and the team. Based on that, the agility report identifies opportunities which are discussed in a team closing workshop.
The EFS Consulting agility check results in an agility report that assesses the current situation. The report shows in what aspects the company or team is already agile, what foundations can be built on, and where can be achieved more. We act as sparring partners and coaches, sharing best practices to provide recommendations for action.
