When a staff is overburdened, there could be a wide range of reasons such as pressure surrounding time to market, issues with alignment and poor product quality. Usually when a team reaches this point, there is a need for change and SAFe can therefore be of great help for large organisations needing change. However we all know that getting a workforce to adopt new technology is not easy, and even though senior management might see the benefits, rolling out SAFe adoption to all layers of the organisation can be challenging, especially if teams are not comfortable in how they have been working in the past.
Effective SAFe adoption in a large organisation then becomes a question of who should we appoint to effectively support and champion SAFe adoption?
Having a great Change Champion in your organisation when adopting SAFe is paramount to implementing change within your organisation at all levels. This is because Change Champions are the kind of employees who enable the changes you’d like to see in your organisation and genuinely believe that they can have a positive impact. They are the kind of people who live and breathe the organisation, genuinely want to see it succeed and they inspire others to follow the same path.
They therefore support the adoption of SAFe and the growth of the entire organisation by:
🚀 Supporting their colleagues to embrace new technologies.
🚀 Adopting a mindset of growth and the ability to lead.
🚀 Penetrating cross-sections of the business.
🚀 Emphasising and making an effort to get to know their peers.
Change Champions can be anyone from senior leaders, middle management or even frontline workers. What unites Change Champions and makes them truly great for any organisation wanting to adopt SAFe is that they genuinely desire growth, effective leadership and have a go-getter attitude in everything they do.
