Just keep asking questions, because you don’t necessarily know what the right questions are.
Key takeaways

How agile evolution allows companies to embrace change while still maintaining stability.

That leadership needs to be on board with it and you need to realize that this is not another process change.

You need to have a learning loop in everything you do.
Agile transformations are often challenging because they require a change in mindset and approach for both those leading the effort and those following. An agile transformation requires a willingness to embrace change and uncertainty. Leaders must understand that there will be resistance to change and that it takes time to get buy-in.
We live in a time where technological advancements happen faster than ever before. Not only do businesses need to adapt to these changes, but they must also ensure their employees are able to keep up with the pace of innovation.
