Getting meaningfull improvements needs more than a paint brush

-

Painting a new process overtop of the same organizational structure will not result in the meaningful improvements you're hoping for. Successful transformation leaders reorganize their people to improve effectiveness, efficiency and engagement. Just look at the data!

·  McKinsey found that organizations that adopted cross-functional, agile teams were able to improve decision-making speed by as much as 40%, compared to traditional hierarchical structures.

·  Stanford University found that an organization’s time to market decreased by 30% after implementing cross-functional teams in an agile setup.

·  Forrester Research indicates that cross-functional teams in product development (especially those aligned around customer needs and business outcomes) can lead to 20-30% faster time to market compared to traditional, siloed teams.

·  HBR published research that found that cross-functional teams led to a 25% improvement in team efficiency by reducing dependencies and the time spent on handoffs between teams.

You’ll need more than a paintbrush to get the results you’re looking for.
