9 Agile Business Realization at Solar Corona Absorbing the Results: Setting the Stage for Sharing Six months had now passed since the pilot began. The MVP had been delivered two months prior, an astonishing achievement given SCI’s previous track record. Davis requested a special review—broadcast across the company, as well as hosted in-person in the main office for whomever could attend there—to discuss the pilot: the results to date and the future of the new operating model as well as the pilot itself. Linda went to the team and asked how they wanted to present to Davis. There were several suggestions, and after a bit of discussion, the group settled on an approach where every member of the team could volunteer to present a specific topic to Davis. This way, they could select something that they felt passionate about, and it provided them an opportunity to actually present to the company CEO!

Chapter 9 | Agile Business Realization at Solar Corona Linda went to Davis with the request to present the findings the way the team had asked to, and he didn’t hesitate one bit, immediately saying “Of course!” Linda knew that this was just another example of why they were successful so far: it was the leadership provided by Davis that enabled everyone to take the risks that they did, including Linda. Everyone started gathering in the auditorium on the main floor of the home office building. It was one of the few rooms that could hold all of the pilot participants, while providing the necessary equipment to broadcast the presentations. They had set the stage up with tables next to the podium, with all of the presenters seated. Once everyone had taken a seat, Davis went up to the podium to kick off the session. “Good morning, everyone,” Davis began. “I’m certainly excited to see all of you here today, and even more excited to hear your story about what you’ve accomplished for our company. I’m not one for long speeches, so let’s get started!” Davis looked over at Linda, and she walked up the stairs to the stage and went to the podium. “Good morning, everyone,” said Linda. “I’m going to provide some initial context about the pilot and then I’m going to turn it over to my colleagues and let them highlight the various challenges and learnings that we faced and absorbed as the pilot progressed.” Linda proceeded to give the audience the context around how the pilot came to be, including the story of the now-infamous budget meeting where Oscar sounded the alarm. She provided a colorful summary, but quickly covered all of the key events and decisions that had gotten the group to where it was, including the eventual rollout of the MVP. “But,” Linda added, “things did not always go smoothly, and we struggled to find our footing. What I would like to do next is to have our panel members here onstage take you through some of the challenges and learnings that we experienced.” Linda looked over to Ann and signaled for her to take it over.
