Building a Self-Sustaining Agile Organization: A Leadership-Driven Approach
Great attention has been placed on transitioning organizations towards Agile values, principles and practices, but what can we do today to ensure that these gains are sustainable well into the future?

To do this, Sean leverages his 13 years in the Canadian Army to translate lessons in building sustainable organizations – and along the way, questioning a few Agile practices.
