Kyla was working on an Agile transformation program. This program started with an inspiring question: “what would a great day look like at work?”
The CIO that had just arrived helped management learn from other organizations, and that started to transform the organization. Listen in to learn how that Agile transformation team helped change the mindset and desire to go to work for hundreds of people.
About Kyla MacDonald
Kyla imagines a world where the talk at Friday drinks is all about the great things we achieved in the week, what we learned, and what we can try next. As she puts it, people who find satisfaction, meaning, fun, and growth in their work, will naturally be in a better position to find the same in their home life. The thing that excites Kyla the most about agile is how concepts and principles apply to any and every area of your life. Which for her is running, paragliding and life on her hobby farm (they call it a lifestyle block in NZ).

At the start I thought this would be a story about a part of a real transformation. However, after the initial question: “what would a great day look like at work?” what I heard was almost all abstractions. I learn and remember best from specific, concrete situations, actions and outcomes. Once you have given me that, then connect the specific to the abstract to broaden my vision of how the principles in the specific story can he applied in other situations.
