GovCIO Agilists...

Lead by Example

To earn trust and influence others, our coaches act as they want our customer participants to act. They have a learning attitude, welcome feedback, continuously work on improving themselves, and are willing to experiment and fail.

Boost Ownership

Our Agile experts are temporary agents. We give your teams the skills, resources, and confidence they need to work autonomously and proactively. This encourages problem-solving and sustains agile transformation once training ends.

Encourage Innovation

We facilitate innovation by advocating transparency and removing any existing culture of “blame”. In removing the fear of blame, we encourage teams to experiment, “fail fast and early,” learn, and improve, building trust and creating the courage to innovate.

Promote a Learning Culture

Our SMEs create strategies that foster collaboration and move you towards becoming a “learning organization” that focuses on continuous incremental growth. We advocate ongoing training to keep your organization engaged and up-to-date.

Are Open Minded and Active Listeners

Our Agilists engage customers and stakeholders with an open mind, shedding internal biases and personal agendas to really listen to what is being said. They strive to understand the deeper meaning and emotions behind those words, allowing for future possibilities to emerge.

Our Capabilities

Strategic And Advisory Services

Agile transformation begins from the top down. Working side-by-side with your leadership, our Agile experts identify how to maximize the value an Agile operating model will bring to your organization. We’ll help you design the transformation strategies and changes needed to structures, people models, governance models, processes, metrics, and technology to successfully enable agility at scale.

Agile Training

Training is the core of our Agile transformation services. GovCIO’s training approach is designed to provide the greatest benefit to the most people, using baseline training, role-specific training, and continuous learning. Collectively our efforts ensure that across your organization, everyone “speaks the same Agile language”, understands how to execute their role, and drives continuous incremental growth.

Organizational And Culture Change

Shifting organizational mind-sets, principles, and practices to align with Agile is fundamental to Agile transformation. GovCIO helps define and create buy-in for the shared vision and values fueling your Agile push. Collaborating with leadership, we coach leadership on how to lead the charge; identify pilots for testing and learning; socialize early successes to build momentum; and drive ongoing learning.

Agile Project/Program Coaching

While course-based training is beneficial, it has practical limitations. For this reason, GovCIO also provides “just-in-time” coaching to active teams. By integrating with project teams, our coaches can provide real-time feedback on progress and micro-learning sessions, helping team members get real solutions to their real problems and more easily apply learning to daily work.
