What if there was a framework that could transform your organization's digital efforts from struggling projects into a powerful operation that drives real business results? The System of Disciplined Agility (SODA) might be exactly what you're looking for.
The New School IT team tackles the sobering reality that 70% of digital transformations fail despite trillions in spending. Roland, John, Nasheed, and Ryan bring their decades of combined experience to introduce SODA - a systemic framework that goes beyond traditional process methodologies to create lasting change across organizations.
This episode breaks down the three pillars of SODA: discipline (accepting digital transformation as a competency journey), system (defining boundaries and recognizing organization-wide impact), and agility (building behaviors that allow for effective pivoting). The hosts examine how these elements work together to create an environment where software development becomes a core business capability rather than just another IT project.
Through practical examples like Domino's Pizza's remarkable transformation into what one host describes as "essentially a tech company," the team illustrates how SODA principles can revolutionize any business. They share specific indicators to look for - from how initiatives are funded to what status reports measure - that signal whether an organization is truly embracing this approach.
The conversation delves into why traditional approaches fail, how SODA spreads beneficial behaviors throughout an organization, and what leaders need to understand about digital competency development. As Roland puts it, "Working in a SODA way makes employees happier because you go to work with a purpose... and you get stuff done."
Ready to transform how your organization approaches digital initiatives? Listen now to discover how SODA can help you build the discipline and agility needed for true digital transformation success. Stay tuned for our next three episodes, where we'll deep-dive into each SODA element individually!
