What is agile transformation & how to implement it successfully?
In this AGILE TALK interview, Felicia Christensen sat down with the inventor & author of the „Living Transformation®“ approach: Mario Brückner. Because agile transformation can be a real challenge. It has an impact on the organization as a whole. From everyday work to strategy processes – everything changes. Over the course of this interview, Mario goes into detail regarding digital transformation. He explains what motivated him to write his prolific book on agile transformation and provides more insight into his audience as well as a brief overview of the book’s content.
Transformation is a term that everyone has a basic idea of and that is used in a wide range of contexts, sometimes even synonymously: digital transformation, agile transformation, and many more. But what is transformation really? Transformation means change in a given context.
The Living Transformation operationalizes the necessary changes with a simple approach: Incorporate the approach into your strategy. Plan measures and implement them just as you would for your product development. Be transparent in your organization and get all employees involved.
Change in complex systems is a challenge.
But should the method be as complex as the challenge itself? The answer is “No”, and the proof is the Living Transformation. This approach shows that conscious change in companies can be implemented in a methodologically easy way. Comprehensible steps become an unyielding transformation process that includes transparency, focus, orientation and continuity.
The approach of the Living Transformation gave us a tool to structure the discussions and to make the measures of the transformation transparent. Of key importance were the trainings of the executives regarding agility and the understanding that change needs time and frequent reflection. The application of the Living Transformation resulted in a clear approach with common rules and process models that were comprehensible to all stakeholders.
Instead of focusing on the “What”, we focused on the “How”, which helped us move forward.”

Why the book is worth it?
This book is a must read for all future leaders who aim to guide their organization on the agile journey. The book provides suggestions and background knowledge for all active and aspiring system designers: managers, HR employees and coaches alike will find everything they need to know on the topic of agile transformation.
In addition to the “true” definition of agility and aspects of leadership and corporate culture, you learn about Living Strategy, an approach to making strategy planning in your organization more agile. We show you how you to implement a strategy in an agile environment—preferably as a Living Strategy made possible by the Living Transformation® of the Agilizer® approach.
Rethinking the world of Strategy
The Living Strategy® is the best approach to align a company in a complex world with easy-to-understand tools, in a flexible way and without losing focus.
With the help of the Living Strategy, a company can adapt quickly and flexibly to its environment: Changes that affect business models are continuously taken into account, the company’s organization and processes are adapted in an evolutionary manner, and key elements such as vision, mission, and strategy are updated on a regular basis, if necessary. The work on and with the strategy comes in sprints.
The key element of the approach is the involvement of employees throughout the entire process. Other success factors are trust, transparency, the Maverick principle and encouraging positive thinking.

Live Change. This is how the organizational change succeeds.
Those who think they can simply copy the transformation of one organization to another, or those who want to plan change for their organization “by the book“, will quickly fail or succumb to the illusion of success.
An agile approach to the complex topic of “transformation” is promising. As an agile method, the Living Transformation® lives up to the principles of the Agile Manifesto because the focus is on individuals and their interactions with each other. This approach allows for responsiveness to change and relies on the cooperation of the involved and affected parties.
