Toolbox for transformation to agile working

Addo de Visser • Boek • paperback

• Samenvatting
  “In ‘Agile, the times they are a-changin’‘, I see a clear ‘why‘
  and a practical approach to and tools for the tilt that
  organizations have to make in order to survive.‘
  – Prof. Dr. Ir. Jan Rotmans, Professor of Sustainability &
  Transitions, Erasmus University Rotterdam.
  “Addo gives very concrete tips on how to deal with it as an
  organization, how to implement it and what to pay
  attention to.“
  – Gunther Verheyen, Scrum Caretaker, Ullizee-Inc.
  Increasing globalization, competition and the associated
  ‘pressure to respond quickly to changes’ require a different way
  of working. Changes follow faster and faster. Organizations
  need to quickly transform into agile working if they want to
  continue to participate in the market. In this book, Addo de
  Visser argues that agile working is a must and not a hype.
  Based on models, in combination with his experience, he
  shows how, as an organization, you can transform into agile
  working and how agile work can be made profitable.
