The media communications specialist is now working with Code Computerlove to roll out Agile across its offices worldwide.

MediaCom, signed up to a new coaching programme provided by Manchester-based digital product studio Code Computerlove to develop a new framework of organisational effectiveness using Agile principles.

The programme has seen MediaCom create a new Agile Leadership Team and undertake advanced Agile training, enabling the business to cascade the new working practices to employees on a local level across the globe. 

In addition to the remote training workshops, 14 Agile coaches from Code have been assigned to provide ongoing support to the Agile leadership team as the pilot rolls out. Coaches will initially work with teams within MediaCom UK, which will be extended as the programme continues.

MediaCom joins Code’s other client partners which include Sky Gaming, AO.com, Tui and Ebay who have turned to the digital product studio for various team effectiveness services, which were officially launched by the agency this year. 

Code’s Managing Director Louis Georgiou, who is heading up the service, says, “Some change can happen ‘people up’ – but the best transformations happen when the senior leaders recognise a need to change and meet their people halfway down. To do this they need the tools to be able to evolve new ways of working that involve team feedback at all stages. Ensuring people are involved from the start will promote engagement throughout the process and help leaders to understand how their employees feel about the change and impacts within their teams.

“And this is where we’re adding value. We understand how to get the most out of teams and people when aligned to a digital business vision and we’ve developed a framework for assisting senior leaders to drive organisational effectiveness," adds Georgiou.
