Have you faced the problems of people, attempting to define products AROUND traditional organizational design and command & control, as oppose changing organizational design to support product centricity?
Product Owner (PO) to Area Product Owner (APO) relationship: was it based on traditional organizational reporting structure or something else? More details on this are appreciated.
Parallel LeSS Organization: what are the main challenged that were faced, when creating a parallel organization? Any pushback from executive management? If ‘yes’, why?
XXXXX shares his experience of working with a large health care organization where he worked with leaders and 35 teams to move from being project based to becoming product centric that keeps the customer in mind. Influenced by LeSS-Huge this organization made significant changes including getting to one product backlog, one product owner, self-designed teams, feature teams, and much more.

Being sure we do a self designing team workshop followed by the Initial PBR for a few days. These are key to the overall buy in, empowerment, showing of trust, etc.
Upskilling plan/ effort to help our “m-shaped” efforts to give people time to learn and grow within the team / space and to not be generalist. and the effort be tied to what is needed now, plus to support the modernization strategy like test automation and CI being started. CD later.
Defining career paths when you move all roles onto the teams like the BA, UX and QA people. and then to show them a path to learn new skills
