At Axialent, we deliberately expose and analyze 'the gap' before we intervene. We call it the 'From-To'.

In the last two decades, agile has emerged as an unstoppable practice among organizations, and it is changing their cultures. The question for us is: are you managing the resulting culture change intentionally? Is agile shaping your culture by accident or by design?
