Organizations are embracing agile ways of working in all aspects of their operations. It's not just for software development anymore. In order for agile to work, an environment of constant feedback and input is required. Unfortunately, no one has yet to crack the feedback nut, and most organizations' efforts in this arena are proving less than fruitful. This workshop will review existing "best practices" in feedback techniques and identify organizational cultures that promote or hinder their effective use. We will then beam into Enneagram type breakout rooms to have each type group discuss the methods that work best for them to give and receive feedback, and why. We'll beam back into the main room to report out each Enneagram type group's findings and discuss implications for how to implement these learnings into feedback processes in the squads, work product teams, ad pods that abound in agile cultures.
