Transactional teams go faster
25 MAY 2022
4:00–5:30 PM PACIFIC
Most Agile Coaches struggle with Influencing up—getting greater buy-in for authentic Agility. It isn’t easy to influence executive buy-in, and more challenging is to get buy-in for the real deal. In the absence of authentic Agility, you get all the pain and none of the gain.
What environment does the heavy lifting?
Don't just survive, thrive.
In a 90-minute webinar produced by Influential U, a panel of experienced Agile Coaches, Scrum Masters, and Executives offer some much-needed answers for those ready to capture the promise of a high-performing agile environment. Made up of Influential U alum and current students, the panel will discuss new skills acquired through our cutting-edge curriculum.
The tech sector represents one of our largest
student groups because what we teach works.

Agile only really delivers value when teams learn to collaborate effectively and team members share an awareness of the cost as well as the value they can be to one another. And that requires a level of transactional competence.

If you have a team or leaders at work on a project, program, transformation etc. where their ability to transact is paramount to progress, TCX provides a guide for them to understand how to reduce friction in their transactions to accelerate progress. In my opinion, TCX provides you with the mechanics lacking in other teamwork assessments that simply identify types and how those styles work without providing a deeper understanding of how to work together.
