"From Agile Delivery to Agile Business: Bridging the Executive Disconnect” presented by Quincy D. Jordan, Managing Partner at MarQuiPlus

The Agile Forum meetings offer an opportunity for professional networking and knowledge sharing with other agile  practitioners as well as provide a learning environment for professionals interested in learning about agile techniques. Everyone is welcome to participate.        

Presentation Details

While Agile teams continue to deliver faster and adapt more efficiently, many organizations still fail to realize the full business value of agility. Why? Because true Agile transformation doesn’t stop at delivery—it must reach the top of the organization.

In this engaging and insightful session, Quincy D. Jordan, an executive advisor and transformation strategist, draws from real-world experiences leading Agile transformations across Fortune 500 companies to uncover the often-overlooked gap between Agile execution and executive sponsorship. He explores how leaders unintentionally undermine agility by clinging to traditional decision-making models—and what can be done to bridge that divide.

Takeaways

Whether you're a PMO leader, Agile coach, or executive, this session will help you build a stronger bridge between Agile delivery and enterprise value—turning transformation into a sustainable business advantage.

• A clear understanding of the “Agile business maturity gap” and its impact on outcomes
• Practical techniques for engaging executives in Agile beyond the buzzwords
