Your organisation says it's Agile. But it's still funding projects the old way; fixed scope, fixed timelines, business case required before anyone writes a single line of code. Sound familiar?

In this episode, Tash sits down with Evan Leybourn, co-founder of the Business Agility Institute, to tackle one of the most stubborn blockers to true organisational agility: funding models.

Evan shares real examples of organisations that have broken free from traditional project-based funding - what they did differently, why it worked, and what it actually took to get there.

They also dig into the uncomfortable reality facing many Agilists right now: how do you influence leaders to do things differently when the system is stacked against you?

They cover:→ Why funding models are the hidden killer of Agile transformation→ Real-world examples of organisations that got it right→ How to influence leaders when you're stuck in a waterfall funding world→ The role of org structure in enabling - or destroying - true agility

If you've ever been handed a business case template in an "Agile" organisation and wondered what the point was — this one's for you.
