Baby Walruses, Icebergs and Large Scale Retrospectives have Everything to do with Successful Business Agility

The Story

• What is a Large Scale Retrospective (LSR)?
• Why does your organization need them to chart a path to Enterprise Agility?
• How to effectively plan, execute, and facilitate a LSR
• Examples from the Field 
• Activity – Experience one powerful framework we love using for LSRs
• Learn about the frameworks that make LSR data actionable
• How to take action (and when not to)

The Learning

• How to use the SAFe Collaborate tool for more than just SAFe training
• Large Scale Retrospectives are an effective Inspect & Adapt tool for driving change at scale.
  
• It’s counter-intuitive but periodically talking to hundreds of people or teams actually accelerates positive change
• LSRs reveal critical information almost impossible to obtain any other way
