Does ALM require ‘big-bang’ change?

Small steps in the same direction will move change forward

ALM is not an initiative, it’s a company transformation. And transformation doesn’t happen overnight. ALM requires people to adopt a new mindset and that takes time. ALM will gain momentum with continual, incremental steps as we learn and grow together.

Through a series of pilots with new offers, we’re learning what needs to change in our processes and the way we work together.

Our curator team is the central pivot point; helping us drive functional and overall readiness and thinking about how to scale our ALM model.

As we roll out our ALM model across the portfolio, we’ll gain deeper insight into the challenges our teams face and our customers’ journeys - which will help us evolve. We need to collectively take a walk in the customer’s shoes, understanding how they’re transforming to meet market imperatives.

To accelerate how we can deliver value to customers, we must build new trust and cooperation to cross boundaries and challenge the status quo. We’re breaking new ground and encouraging leaders and colleagues to do the same. With small steps we’re gaining positive momentum and ushering in a new era for Cisco.
