VOICE OF OUR COLLEAGUE IN BUSINESS AGILITY

“In Business Agility we work with JYSK’s agile transformation, meaning we are working across IT and the business to secure fast delivery of solutions, bringing value to JYSK’s customers and our internal stakeholders. 

Implementing agile ways of working and growing a lean-agile mindset in the individuals and teams in JYSK is challenging and exciting. Even though the agile approach differs from traditional retail mentality, the governing thoughts are supported by JYSK’s values and leadership principles. We have been working with agility at JYSK for the past few years and are now revisiting our framework to align with SAFe (the Scaled Agile Framework). Our Executive Management Team are invested in the process and we have high ambitions for taking JYSK agility to the next level, making JYSK fit for the future.”
