Modern Ways of Working at Scale: Growing Lean‑Agile Champions from the Inside Out
summary
Nestlé runs an experiment that grows Lean Agile Champions from volunteers and sees strong uptake across a 271,000‑person org; selection favors people teams already trust, who are curious, willing to experiment, and whose leaders give time. Champions learn with hands‑on simulations like the Ball Flow game, Tweak game and a custom Nest Down workshop in Mural, then coach teams to use flow metrics (finish rate, WIP, cycle time) and shift incentives toward delivering value — and teams measurably improve flow and outcome focus.
