The weight of decision-making structures

At a recent edition of Agile Tour Québec, Mélanie Labbé, Senior Vice-President Insurance, Private Sector and Service Centres at Cofomo, delivered a presentation on the organizational factors that can hold back digital transformation success.

Even with motivated teams and strong tools, certain organizational dynamics persist. Parkinson’s Law, Hofstadter’s Law, Brooks’ Law, and Conway’s Law illustrate how over-planning, cascading approvals, and centralized decision-making limit an organization’s ability to become truly agile.

In this segment, Mélanie highlights a clear reality: as long as governance itself does not evolve, agility cannot deliver the expected benefits. Watch Now ! (available in French only).

This message is relevant for any organization looking to approach digital transformation in a sustainable way. It underscores the importance of aligning governance with transformation goals to create the conditions required for real organizational agility. Discover how Cofomo partners with organizations to align governance and agility, unlocking the full potential of digital transformation.

The reality is simple: organizations don’t fail at agility because of their teams, but because their governance lags behind. At Cofomo, we help leaders shape governance as a catalyst that unlocks the full potential of digital transformation.
