abstract |
Austerity and financial constraints have been threatening the public sector in the
UK for a number of years. Foreseeing the threat of continued budget cuts, and addressing
the situation many local councils face, requires internal transformations for financial
stability without losing the key focus on public service. Agile transformations have
been undertaken by organisations wanting to learn from the software development community
and bringing agile principles into the wider organisation. This paper describes and
analyses an ongoing behaviour-led transformation in a district council in the UK.
It presents the results of the analysis of 19 interviews with internal stakeholders
at the council, of observations of meetings among senior and middle management in
a five-month period. The paper explores the successes and the challenges encountered
towards the end of the transformation process and reflects on balancing acts to address
the challenges, be-tween: disruption and business as usual, empowerment and goal
setting, autonomy and processes and procedures, and behaviours and skills. Based on
our findings, we suggest that behaviours on their own cannot guarantee a sustained
agile culture, and that this is equally important for enterprise agility and for large-scale
agile software development transformations. |
