The “new normal” is faced with many complex challenges, creating urgency and need for high-performing teams in every organization. Several academic research have proven the correlation between accountability, psychological safety and productivity (Patrick Lencioni, 5 dysfunctions of teams), (Amy Edmondson, The Fearless Organizations), (Roger Connors, The wisdom of OZ).

This workshop will reveal the building blocks of high performing Agile teams and why fostering a culture of accountability in the team is the answer.

The foundation of this workshop is based on the research of Roger Connors, explained in his bestselling book “The Wizard of OZ”, where by using the analogy of the story, we are correlating the Scrum values: courage, commitment, transparency, openness and respect, with the main characters of the fable: Dorothy, The Lion, The Tinmen, The Scarecrow and The Wizard of OZ.

When we speak about instilling accountability in our team, we must have the courage (The Lion) to see the obstacles before they arise. To have heart (The Tin men) and accept ownership of these challenges, even if they aren’t directly related to our work. To have the wisdom (The Scarecrow) to solve these obstacles by finding solutions even when they aren’t visible at the moment. Finally, to have the willpower (Dorothy) to do and deliver the working solution. By using this model we are instilling Agile values in our teams.
