Where are they now?

@ardita_k @jasonlittle

What Did We Learn?

Transformational Change cannot be scheduled and budgeted for

Coaching stance is importantToo many simultaneous big changes is badSometimes HR can’t fix people problemsKanban isn’t necessarily less disruptiveAgile thinking must come with technical

capability
