01.12.2022 –, Scaling Agile
Sprache: Deutsch
Die Vision von Vodafone ist es, eine New Generation Telco zu werden. Die Technik-Organisation ist dabei das Herzstück, um dieses Vorhaben erfolgreich zu realisieren und als echtes Technologie-Kommunikationsunternehmen unseren Kunden nicht mehr nur reine Konnektivität zu verkaufen, sondern darauf basierend neue Produkte und Services zu entwickeln und gleichzeitig noch stärkere Kundenbindungen aufzubauen. Zur Umsetzung der Strategie hat sich Vodafone dazu entschieden, Lean Portfolio Management nach dem Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) einzuführen, die IT-Delivery nach dem Framework auf- bzw. umzubauen und damit den „Design once, deploy many“-Ansatz zu unterstützen. Das Lean Portfolio Management & Transformation-Team innerhalb der Digital & IT Organisation ist für die Transformation über alle globalen Delivery Domains und den lokalen Märkten federführend verantwortlich, verbindet die Vodafone-Strategie mit der Umsetzung bis auf die Teamebene und sorgt für strategisches Alignment. Silke Eggert wird gemeinsam mit Mitgliedern ihres Führungsteams, bestehend aus Alena Keck und Meike Walbrunn, aufzeigen, welche Mission und Vision sie mit ihrem Team verfolgt und wie sie das Framework in der Praxis umsetzt. Dabei werden die Referentinnen über die Erfolgskriterien einer globalen Transformation dieser Größenordnung sowie über ihre bisher gesammelten „Lessons Learned“ sprechen und die Roadmap der Transformation vorstellen.
