Session Overview

In this talk, we discuss how Design Thinking (DT) approach helps create a journey for Lean-Agile transformation.

A common challenge that organisations face is where and how to start the transformation process. Sometimes, organisations are midway in the process but one needs to reinvigorate the transformation journey. Design thinking helps define a structured approach of how one can one go about this process. It helps us understand how to assess the current state and emerge viable alternatives for taking the transformation process to the next step.
