Internal Audit Erasmus MC gets acquainted with agile
"After achieving quality certification at the end of 2022, Erasmus MC's Internal Audit Department wants to take the next professionalization step. There is a need for short-cycle audits with more impact and boldness, or an Agile audit approach. We asked ARC People to help us get started on this."
"Carlo Bavius facilitated 4 workshops where the department was introduced to the ideas of Agile. Through exercises and substantive discussions, we explored and above all experienced. That was sometimes quite confronting, but because of that, above all, very instructive. 'The Art of Leaving Out' is one of the important insights and even now already a literal tile wisdom within the department. We immediately unleashed those principles on our current planning and reporting, am curious about the reactions from the organization."
"The next step is to curb 'The Fear of Missing Things,' our main challenge! Therein lies the other key to success: ensuring a manageable scope and lead time. We will apply the insights ourselves in the coming months and Carlo will help us set up, conduct and report on an IT audit, bringing in additional knowledge and expertise."
"Carlo, with his energetic approach, held up a good mirror to us, which will take us forward again. Thanks!"
