Many Disparate Pieces à Don’t interconnect Jumble: Hard to figure out how to move and understand

Top-‐down – looks great BUT Technically absurd. Can’t change what’s built. “Meets requirements on paper”

WALL Stopping us. Feel constrained. Impediments. Green = Meetings, meetings, meetings Red = Conversation Gray = what gets done.

Transformation Model

Transformation Model• Allow things to unfold. Star on Horizon. Baby Steps. • Don’t Ever use the word “TransformaLon” -‐ too scary! • Complex AdapLve Systems • Grow leadership TEAM • “It’s all the lifle things. No big event.” • It is hard because we are making small changes day by day. No big TA-‐DA. • It is hard and slow because we are paying off years of accumulated OrganizaLonal Debt. 22
