Learning & Development program for Transformation at a major retailer - case study

Home » L and D development program for Transformation at major retailer – Case Study

Our retail client came to us with this challenge...

As the Agile Transformation Chapter of a major Australian retailer, we are building a pool of internal team members who can lead business-unit level agile transformations. We are looking for a practical learning experience for our transformation leaders that creates a common language across the organisation, establishes clarity in our collective approach, and embeds the capabilities needed to deliver on our transformational objectives. Can you help?

In collaboration with the retailer, ADAPTOVATE designed and delivered a tailored program that equipped transformation leaders with the knowledge, tools, and shared mindset to lead effectively.

Key approaches:


  • Inventoried current training and learning for transformation leaders in the client ecosystem to identify gaps and elements that could be leveraged


  • Developed a self-assessment for transformation leaders to understand their strengths and areas of development


  • Aggregated and synthesised frameworks across agile, organisational design, program management, and change to develop a cohesive outcomes-based approach to transformation


  • Developed a 4 half-day Bootcamp program to immerse transformation leaders in the transformation approach via a mock case
