Cultural Kickoff presentation

Agile transformation demands cultural change if the expected outcomes are to be achieved.

Perhaps the CEO or MD should create, communicate, and reinforce the necessary sense of urgency for change, so organizational gravity can be overcome.

There is a team culture that is completely independent of country, race, religion or anything else.  It is how a team works together and how they find interactions between the members to be most useful and successful.  I've always used that culture as the basis for any kind of team building.  Help the team decide what the team culture will be.  Will they have an agreement about showing up for meetings on time? Will they have a set of hours where everyone commits to being available? Will the a set of hours where everyone agrees to cause no distractions to the team members so that everyone can focus on work?  Will there be team agreements that everyone will hold each other accountable to?

There is a lot of cultural aspects that are totally focused on making the team work together.  Those are the ones I suggest you focus on.  Focus on how the corporate/organizational culture will change to empower teams to be successful and honor the commitment to using the Scrum framework. 

Multi-country, multi-race, multi-gender type issues are more for corporate focus and are part of the inclusive culture of an organization.
