EDGE: The Agile Operating Model That Will Help You Successfully Execute Your Digital Transformation.
Today’s enterprises are achieving incremental outcomes in a world of exponential opportunities. Why are their digital transformations falling short? Poor execution: enterprise capabilities are proving inadequate in areas ranging from portfolio management to software delivery. Now, ThoughtWorks’ pioneering digital transformation experts introduce EDGE: a powerful new operating model that closes the gap between digital strategy and execution, so you can truly achieve continuous innovation. Fast, iterative, adaptive, lightweight, and value driven, EDGE addresses three crucial issues:
How people work together when major, fast-paced responses are necessary
How organizations allocate and monitor investment funds for initiatives based on their vision and goals
How organizations learn to adapt fast enough to thrive
EDGE is not an acronym, but an expression that reminds us of the challenges, messiness, and excitement of transforming into a digital enterprise. In our work with enterprises in retail, financial, transportation and other markets, the authors have seen organizations striving to become more responsive, especially to their customers. Organizations are finding that having agile software delivery capabilities is not enough. We worked with a large multinational financial firm recently that was interested in DevOps as a way to increase speed and agility. Our assessment pointed out that they were spending an inordinate amount of time planning (not surprising in a big enterprise) and DevOps was not their solution. Rather than focusing on DevOps as a means to an end, they needed to rethink their entire value stream to become more agile.
Agile leader Jim Highsmith and his colleagues explain how EDGE embraces an adaptive mindset in the face of market uncertainty, a Lean Value Tree that encourages value linkage from vision to detailed initiatives, incremental rather than big upfront funding, and a focus on collaborative decision-making rather than artifacts and burdensome processes. Next, they illuminate EDGE’s emphasis on managing change and transforming organizations by adjusting investment to reflect new strategies and reduce risk. You’ll gain practical insight for leveraging EDGE in your organization, drawing on the unmatched experience of its creators and their pioneering clients.
