Companies have been working on continuous improvement, operational excellence, agile, scaled agile framework for many years. Effective change agents need to respect and build off of the work that has been done.

They are all proven methods. They work.The business world is always changing. Corporate strategy needs to recognise & respond to these changes. To be successful, you need the right approach, at the right time, and to deliver value to customers.It's a unique journey that each organization is under taking.Will your companies approach to continuous improvement be the same in 10 years time?No, it won't.Recognise that and become comfortable with change. Even better, leverage agile practices, apply lean, be adaptive and respond to customers and market conditions.
