Agile Austria Conference 2018. Presentation ‘Communities of Practice – The not-so-hidden force behind your company’s Agility’, held by Almudena Rodriguez Pardo together with Norma Acevedo Lopez.
If your company is heading for Agile at Scale, it definitely requires Self Organization at Scale! Organizations seeking to grow their Agile network are in dire need of empowering their workforce, and there is where Communities of Practice (CoP) take over.
During the past few years we have seen at Ericsson ICT Development Center Aachen Eurolab (Germany) several CoPs emerge and take over the responsibility for the evolution of Kaizen, T-Shape, DevOps, employees’ motivation… even operational aspects such as 5G research or security are moving forward with the support of CoPs.
During this talk we presented our hands-on experiences, we provided practical tips how to nurture CoPs in your organisation, we showed how they managed to revolutionize the way a multinational giant of the telecommunications world growths within the new Ways of Working!
