By Dr. Rashid Alleem
What happens when a forty-year-old power plant stands on the brink of collapse?
Mounting losses, aging equipment, low employee morale, increasing safety risks, and resistance to change created a complex organizational crisis.
Rather than simply managing the crisis, Dr. Rashid Alleem led a transformation by applying the timeless principles of Agile to one of the most challenging industrial environments imaginable.
