Lean In Agile: A Global Movement for Women - Padmini Nidumolu | 2006

“The presence of women – or lack thereof – led to a huge difference in the direction the organization or the leadership were heading to.” For Padmini Nidumolu, this was the catalyst for founding Lean In Agile, “a movement for, by, and of women designed to amplify the voices, talents, and experiences of women in the Lean and Agile communities across the globe.” Nidumolu says, “When there are fewer women on decision-making tables or creative sessions… there is an energy shift.” Lean In Agile has facilitated the formation of groups of women called “spirals” in Nepal, India, and the US, and they have launched two new programs – LIA 100 and LIA Next Generation – which our guest shares her passion and dreams for in this episode.  Accenture | SolutionsIQ’s Emilia Breton hosts.   Learn more:  - Search for “LIA100 interviews” on YouTube  The Women in Agile community champions inclusion and diversity of thought, regardless of gender, and this podcast is a platform to share new voices and stories with the Agile community and the business world, because we believe that everyone is better off when more, diverse ideas are shared.
