Define, Refine Processes, Practices & Policies

Align the Way You Work With the Outcomes You Want

Overview
Agile transformation often hits a wall when existing processes, policies, and decision-making rules conflict with agility. Teams are told to be self-organizing, but approvals still require five signatures. Leaders ask for continuous delivery, but budgeting happens annually. Without redesigning how work flows, agility remains a buzzword.
This service is focused on intentionally shaping and simplifying your organization’s processes, practices, and policies — so they enable, rather than constrain, adaptive ways of working.

Why It Matters
Agile teams don’t operate in a vacuum. They are nested within organizational systems — HR, finance, procurement, governance, compliance, delivery, performance management. If those systems are not designed to support agility, transformation efforts stall or regress.
We help you define or redesign:
* Team-level ways of working that support clarity, flow, feedback, and ownership
* Organizational policies and controls that balance autonomy with alignment
* Operating processes that reduce friction and foster collaboration
* Practice libraries that standardize what’s essential and evolve what’s not

Who It’s For
* Transformation Leaders struggling with legacy processes that slow down agility
* Function Heads or Departmental Change Agents looking to modernize workflows
* HR, Finance, Governance, or Legal teams needing to align their frameworks with Agile
* Delivery Teams aiming to reduce process waste and improve cross-team collaboration

What’s Included
🟡 Process Discovery & Mapping
* Identify high-friction workflows across the organization (e.g., budgeting, approvals, hiring, escalations)
* Visualize the current state and uncover process bottlenecks, delays, and rework
* Prioritize areas for redesign based on impact and effort

🟡 Agility-Aligned Redesign
* Redefine ways of working using Agile, Lean, and Design Thinking principles
* Co-create lightweight, flexible process models that empower decision-making at the edge
* Apply test-and-learn loops to validate process changes incrementally

🟡 Policy Review & Simplification
* Examine existing policies (e.g., governance, procurement, performance management)
* Identify contradictions with Agile values and unnecessary bureaucracy
* Recommend updated policy drafts or agility-aligned guidelines

🟡 Practice Libraries & Playbooks
* Define standard practices that bring coherence without rigidity
* Support consistency across teams without undermining autonomy
* Develop internal Agile Playbooks, SOPs, and role guides based on your context

🟡 Enablement Sessions
* Facilitate workshops with HR, Finance, Audit, Risk and other functions
* Explore examples of agility-supporting practices from global organizations
* Co-develop new cross-functional agreements and workflows
