Enterprise Agile transformation requires more than introducing new frameworks or delivery practices. Sustainable change depends on building the knowledge, behaviours, and confidence that enable teams to adopt new ways of working consistently across the organisation.
As part of its delivery operating model transformation, a global provider of wealth management and investment platforms partnered with Cprime to develop a global Agile learning programme aligned to its Agile Playbook. The objective extended beyond training employees on Agile concepts. The client wanted to create a shared understanding of Agile@Scale, reinforce the behaviours required for long-term transformation, and enable thousands of technology and delivery professionals to adopt a consistent delivery approach across regions.
To support this ambition, Cprime designed a structured learning journey that combined Agile enablement, behavioural change, embedded programme management, and continuous measurement. Delivered across EMEA, APAC, India, and North America, the programme reached more than 80% of the target workforce while providing measurable improvements in Agile capability, learner confidence, and readiness to apply Agile practices within day-to-day delivery.
Rather than treating learning as a standalone initiative, the client positioned capability building as a core component of its enterprise transformation strategy, helping create stronger alignment between people, processes, and the organisation’s future delivery model.
The challenge of scaling Agile transformation across a global enterprise
Like many global organisations modernising their delivery operating models, the client recognised that introducing Agile practices alone would not create lasting organisational change.
The organisation was undertaking a significant transformation of its delivery model centred on its Agile Playbook. Success depended on creating a shared understanding of Agile principles while helping teams adopt consistent ways of working regardless of geography, business unit, or role.
The transformation presented several complex challenges.
First, the programme needed to reach thousands of employees across multiple continents within an accelerated timeframe. Teams operated across different time zones, requiring a learning model capable of delivering consistent experiences without compromising quality.
Second, the client wanted to reinforce behaviours that extend beyond Agile ceremonies and delivery mechanics. Collaboration, client focus, empowerment, resilience, continuous learning, and adaptability were viewed as essential characteristics of the future operating model.
Finally, leadership required measurable evidence that learning was contributing to transformation objectives. Beyond attendance metrics, the organisation wanted visibility into capability improvements, learner confidence, facilitator effectiveness, and readiness to apply new practices within live delivery environments.
Meeting these objectives required more than traditional Agile training. The client needed a partner capable of combining enterprise-scale learning operations with measurable capability development and continuous programme optimisation.
Why the client selected Cprime
Following a competitive evaluation process, the client selected Cprime based on its ability to deliver enterprise-scale Agile transformation learning while maintaining consistency across regions and business functions.
Rather than proposing a series of isolated training sessions, Cprime introduced a Learning Academies approach that integrated learning design, programme governance, operational delivery, and continuous improvement into a single scalable model.
Several factors differentiated the proposed solution.
Cprime demonstrated the global delivery capability required to support learners across EMEA, APAC, India, and North America while maintaining a consistent learning experience regardless of location.
The proposed learning journey aligned directly with the client’s Agile Playbook, ensuring that Agile principles, delivery practices, and organisational behaviours reinforced one another throughout the programme.
The client also recognised the value of embedding a dedicated Learning Manager within programme operations. This role provided end-to-end coordination across scheduling, communications, logistics, reporting, facilitator management, and stakeholder engagement, enabling the organisation to manage a large-scale global rollout efficiently.
Equally important was Cprime’s commitment to continuous improvement. Participant and stakeholder feedback informed rapid refinements throughout the programme, with updates incorporated within 24 to 48 hours to improve learning effectiveness as the rollout progressed.
This combination of enterprise learning expertise, operational discipline, and data-driven iteration gave the client confidence that capability building could scale alongside its delivery transformation.
Designing an Agile learning programme for enterprise transformation
To support long-term Agile adoption, Cprime designed a structured learning journey that connected foundational knowledge with practical application and behavioural reinforcement.
Instead of focusing solely on Agile frameworks, the programme aligned every learning experience with the client’s evolving delivery operating model and the behaviours required to sustain organisational change.
The programme architecture included several interconnected components.
Agile foundations aligned to the client’s Agile Playbook
Participants first developed a common understanding of Agile principles, delivery practices, and the organisation’s target operating model. These workshops established consistent language and expectations across global teams while introducing Agile@Scale concepts within the client’s delivery context.
Agile@Scale enablement
Subsequent workshops expanded learners’ understanding of scaled delivery by exploring roadmap planning, dependency management, backlog prioritisation, cross-team collaboration, outcomes-based delivery, and value measurement.
Rather than presenting theoretical concepts, facilitators connected discussions directly to the practical challenges teams encounter during enterprise delivery.
Behavioural capability development
Recognising that successful Agile transformation depends on mindset as much as process, the programme reinforced behaviours including collaboration, communication, client focus, empowerment, adaptability, resilience, and continuous improvement.
These capabilities were embedded throughout workshop discussions, collaborative exercises, and facilitated activities instead of being treated as separate learning topics.
Learning reinforcement
The programme also encouraged participants to apply new knowledge within live delivery environments following each workshop. This emphasis on practical application helped bridge the gap between conceptual understanding and day-to-day execution while providing valuable insights for future learning phases.

Delivering Agile learning at global scale
Supporting enterprise transformation required a delivery model capable of reaching thousands of employees without sacrificing learner engagement or instructional quality.
Cprime adopted a multi-modal delivery approach that balanced the scalability of virtual learning with the collaboration benefits of targeted in-person workshops.
During Phase 1, the programme delivered 229 workshops across the client’s global operations, including 110 sessions of the Agile@Scale workshop and 119 sessions focused on Learning, Adaptation and Execution.
Delivery profile (Phase 1)
- Regional distribution: APAC (123 sessions), EMEA (102 sessions), and North America (4 sessions)
- 168 workshops delivered remotely, supported by 56 instructor-led classroom sessions
- Five planned in-person workshops were successfully transitioned to virtual delivery to maintain momentum
- Key classroom locations: Gurugram (India), Brno (Czech Republic), Wellington (New Zealand), and Shanghai (China)
Virtual delivery formed the foundation of the programme, allowing participants across multiple regions to access consistent learning experiences, while targeted classroom sessions strengthened collaboration in major delivery centres and maintained consistency with the broader global curriculum.
By combining flexible delivery methods with embedded programme management, the programme reached 80% of the target workforce for Workshop 1 and 81% for Workshop 2 during the first phase of the transformation.
Measured impact
The programme measured capability, confidence, and readiness before and after each workshop, giving the client evidence of impact well beyond attendance.
Workshop 1: Agile@Scale impact highlights
- Average capability uplift of approximately 0.9 across six core Agile@Scale knowledge areas, reflecting movement from “Basic” to “Competent” across measured capability areas
