  1. Which psychological concept is MOST important for a DA Coach to foster during organizational change to enable experimentation?

    Answer: Psychological safety

    Psychological safety allows team members to experiment, voice concerns, and fail safely — essential for continuous improvement.

  2. In DA, what is the purpose of running 'change experiments' rather than implementing changes wholesale?

    Answer: To reduce risk by validating improvements before broad rollout

    Change experiments validate improvements in real contexts before scaling, reducing the risk of large-scale failures.

  3. When coaching executives in a DA transformation, what is the MOST important mindset shift to facilitate?

    Answer: From controlling activities to enabling outcomes

    Executives must shift from controlling how work is done to creating conditions where teams can achieve outcomes effectively.

  4. A large organization's HR department insists on standardized job titles that conflict with agile team roles. How should a DA Coach approach this?

    Answer: Facilitate a conversation to find role structures that satisfy both HR needs and agile team effectiveness

    DA's pragmatic approach seeks workable compromises between organizational constraints and agile team effectiveness.

  5. What is the primary risk of adopting a 'big bang' approach to agile transformation across an enterprise?

    Answer: Overwhelming the organization's capacity to absorb change simultaneously

    Big bang transformations overwhelm organizational change capacity, often causing chaos and reversion to old behaviors.

  6. How does DA's FLEX process blade support organizational change leadership?

    Answer: It offers a flexible, lean-agile approach applicable to diverse team contexts

    FLEX is DA's most adaptable process blade, designed for teams needing maximum flexibility in their WoW.

  7. During a DA transformation, which type of organizational impediment should a DA Coach escalate to senior leadership rather than resolve independently?

    Answer: Systemic structural barriers such as siloed budgeting or HR policies

    Systemic structural barriers require executive authority to resolve and cannot be addressed solely at the team or coach level.
