Andrea Jones presents the Execute Agility framework, a system for organizations to improve project delivery by building a dedicated department around four foundational pillars. She argues that execution capability is a leading indicator of company performance and that the right people for this work may not fit traditional expectations.
Wouldn't it be nice to execute easier? If your company is operating like this and you want to be operating like that, all that work it takes to get there is temporary and project work. But do you have a whole department whose only job it is to prioritize, organize, manage, and measure that project work? That is where Execute Agility comes in. Execute Agility is an organization's ability to execute your most important projects consistently over time. Wouldn't it be nice to know if your company could execute those projects before you get started? How about a leading indicator for whether or not your company can do this based on 4 pillars of Execute Agility? And wouldn't it be nice to know how to close any gaps that might exist within the 4 pillars of Execute Agility? Not to mention how to insource the whole Execute Agility model to your own company. And the people to do it may not be who you think. My name is Andrea Jones. I started my career as a process engineer at Intel, where my whole job was to execute projects to improve and grow and scale operational processes. I started my own consulting firm where we specialize in project and change management, and now we're teaching our methodology to you so small-medium businesses can insource their execute agility. If you know of any companies who want to execute easier, this presentation is for you.
